CASE REQUEST ~OR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF NORTHFORK OAKS; CASE OF NORTH FORK, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: North Fork, Inc.: is requesting preliminary plat approval of another portion of the Northfork P.U.D. located ia the northeast corner of the property. The plat is to be named Northfork Oaks and consists of 29 acres proposed to be platted into 14 single family lots. The developer has provided a conc%vt plan for the remaining 70 acres in this particular area to show a compatible development planlwith the 14 lots proposed to be platted at this time. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site location map PrOposed preliminary plat and grading plan Ci~ Staff review letter dated August 9, 1994 Observations: With the platting of Northfork Oaks, the number of lots will be within the 292 overall approved in the May, 1990 mollifications to the P.U.D. All of the lots meet the one acre minimum lot size and the 160 foot lot width at the street or at the building pad location. The lots are proposed to receive public access from the extension of 160th into the plat with a cul- de-sac extending Off this through street. The cul-de-sac does not exceed the maximum length standards. Street nhrnes need to be applied to the plat. ' There is no park d~dication due on this portion of the P.U.D. in accordance with the May 9, 1989 Northfork Park Dedication Agreement. The City will be pursuing a trail connection between what is shown as 'future idevelopment' on the plans submitted and Wood. lawn Estates to the east. A Grading and Drainage Plan has been provided which is generally acceptable. However, an erosion control pla~ also needs to be provided. The plan, as it pertains to the areas beyond the initial 14 lots, needs to be revised to avoid wetland areas. An addendum to the grading plan should be prepared as a Tr~;e Preservation and Planting Plan. The Planning Comm/ssion conducted a public hearing regarding the preliminary plat on August 11. There were no wri~en comments submitted, however, Chuck Delaney from Armstrong Kennels was present to exp~ss concerns with the plat. They were: 1) exposure and liability associated with his ownershi~ of the land all around Eddy Lake in the event of trespassing by nearby residents of North~ork Oaks; 2) the potential impact to the existence of his 'grandfathered' business as a result Of incoming residences so near his kennel facihry; 3) impact to Eddy Lake and other wetlands resulting from t~e development of on-site septic systems to service the lots. Mr. Dennis Peck, Pi'oject Manager for North Fork, Inc., indicated that he and Mr. Delaney have met regarding his concerns. Mr. Peck stated that North Fork will take strong marketing measures to be sure the buyerl; of the lots understand the nature of Mr. Delaney's facility, that the property surrounding Eddy ~ake is privately owned, and that the design of the septic systems will be in accordance with Staff: Siatutes and subject to the approval of the City. 115'
