E( UES FOR CASE By: CASE A VARIANCE TO CUL-DE-SAC LENGTH; OF GOOD YALUE HOMES, INC. Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: As you recall, 0n March 22, 1994, Chesmut Ridge was granted final plat app. roval with Kr~ton Street N.W. being constructed as a through street, contingent upon DNR granung a pen~fit to cross wetland #2-11 z~p. Observatlons; Good Value Hd~nes has received notification from DNR that their request for a permit to cross the wetland has beech denied. On May 24, 1~94, the developer approached City Council for a revision to the final plat to construct Krypi, on Street N.W. as a cul-de-sac that exceeds the 600 foot maximum length by approximately 8[00 feet. Staff informed City Council that it was still possible to construct Krypton Street N.W. as~ through street by bridging the wetlan~ Bridging the wetland would not require DNR permittinl~, however, it would jeopardize the City s chances of getting a permit in the same proximity to cr4ss the wetlands in order to extend Sunwood Drive. The Developer indicated that even if there wd, re City participation in funding, bridging the wetland was cost prohibitive for the creation of 13 ldts and requested a variance to cul-de-sac length. · Another opnon i~)resented to Council on May 24, 1994, was that of appealing DNR's decision to deny the permi[request. This option was not acceptable to the Developer, City Staff or City Council as the lengthy process would prohibit development in 1994 and it is not likely that the appeal would ~ approved; and if it were approved, it would have an adverse impact on obtaining the permits necessary to extend Sunwood Drive. In accordance kith the Subdivision Chapter of City Code, on June 6, 1994, the Developer approached the Planning Commission for a recommendation on a variance to maximum cut-de-sac length. The following n~ms are include for your information: a) Site location map b) ~oposed plat with through street c) ~oposed plat with cul-de-sac d) ~oposed findings of fact e) 1~ oposed variance f) .l:~roposed resolution granting revised final plat approval Recommendation: The Planning C(~mmission and City Staff recommend approval of the variance to cul-de-sac length and revised fina~l plat approval of Chesmut Ridge to design Krypton Street N.W. as a cul-de-sac versus a throug[ street.
