Excerpt from Planning Commission January 7, 2016 5.03: Review Sketch Plan for Northfork Alpine Addition (Project No. 16-02); Case of Double T, LLC Presentation Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the purpose of this file is to review the official Sketch Plan prepared by A.P.A Consulting, Engineers &Surveyors, P.A. for the purpose of a four -lot subdivision located on Alpine Drive within the Northfork Planned Unit Development. The Sketch Plan Review process affords the Planning Commission to opportunity to provide early direction on the layout of the proposed plat, before the Developer prepares detailed Preliminary Plat plans. A key decision will occur at Preliminary Plat, in which the layout will be approved, subject to approving final construction plans and Final Plat documents. At that time, the City will review items including, but not limited to, Grading Plan, Utility Plan, Landscape Plan, and Street Light Plan. Staff recommended the Planning Commission provide feedback on the Sketch Plan and direct the Developer to proceed to preparing a Preliminary Plat, with the considerations listed in this staff report. Commission Business Commissioner Bauer asked where a common septic system would be located if this option were recommended. Community Development Director Gladhill reported the system would be located on one of the existing lots and would not impact minimum lot sizes. Commissioner VanScoy questioned what assurances the City had that the proposed homeowners association (HOA) would still be in place in 20 years to provide maintenance to the shared septic system. Community Development Director Gladhill discussed the requirements that would have to be put in place to ensure the HOA was still in existence. Commissioner Bauer inquired if the cul-de-sac would be a public or private roadway. Community Development Director Gladhill stated the cul-de-sac was proposed to be a public street that would be owned and maintained by the City. Chairperson Levine asked if the City received any comment from surrounding property owners. Community Development Director Gladhill reported staff has not received any comments to date. Chairperson Levine questioned what information staff was seeking from the Commission this evening. Community Development Director Gladhill requested the Planning Commission provide feedback to the developer on the proposed sketch plan and whether or not the group supported the use of a shared septic system.
