The proposed f'mal plat consists of one sheet printed on November 29, <br />t993. _~.; companying the proposed final, plat was a Grading and Drainage. Plan <br />preparediby Hakanson Anderson Assoctates, Inc. dated May 5, 1993, w~th revision <br />dates Ju~e 1, 1993 and November 23, 1993. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />1. General: The proposed f'mal plat for the 2nd phase of Rivenwick varies <br /> fCom the approved preliminary plat for Rivenwick in that the westernmost <br /> pint of 137th Avenue would be constructed as a cul-se-sac versus a through <br /> sfi'eet to Riverdale Drive. This is a significant change from the current <br /> a~proved preliminary plat and therefore requires a public hearing by the <br /> P!anning and Zoning Commission and formal approval by the City Council. <br /> <br />2. N~omber of Lots: The total number of lots approved under the approved <br /> p(eliminary plat was 95; 51 in Phase I and 44 in Phase II. With the <br /> p(oposed revision, an additional lot would be gained in Phase II for a total <br /> of 96 residential lots. <br /> <br />3. LPt Sizes: All of the lots exceed the 12,150 square foot area minimum for <br /> nSn-riparian lots in the Critical River Corridor. With the exception of Lots <br /> 4¢ 5, and 6 of Block 2, all of the lots meet the 80 foot lot width requirement <br /> a~ the street frontage or building setback line. Lots 4, 5, and 6 measure <br /> al~proximately 76.1 feet at the building setback line. Based on the fact that <br /> thgse lots exceed the minimum area requirement by 700+ square feet, it is <br /> S~ffs recommendation that a variance be granted to the minimum lot width <br /> o~ Lots 4, 5, and 6. It is reasonable to expect that a building pad can be still <br /> ba achieved because of the additional lot area. <br /> <br />4. St~reets. The revision to the street layout resulting from the proposed <br /> reyised preliminary plat consists of designing the westernmost part of 137th <br /> AVenue with an 'eyebrow' and a 'cul-de-sac' versus the previously <br /> approved through street. The proposed cul-de-sac will result in a dead-end <br /> st?eet which exceeds the 600 foot standard for such streets by nearly 50%. <br /> <br /> <br />
