Review File: 16-51: Woodlands 2nd Addition Final Plat Review Apri17, 2016 Page 2 of 4 Maximum # of Driveways Accessory Structure Setbacks 1 (2 if a corner lot) Not specified For reference information only Minimum Front Yard Setbacks Minimum Rear Yard Setback Minimum Side Yard Setback Minimum Side Yard Setback on Corner Lot 30 feet or same as principal structure (whichever is greater) 5 feet (but must remain outside of drainage and utility easements) 6 feet 30 feet The plans must be updated to include a note specifying that building coverage on any lot shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the lot area. Access and Roadway Connections. The plat proposes to gain access by an extension of 159th Ave NW. While 159th Ave NW will again be extended with a future phase of Woodlands, the current extension will exceed 600 feet in length and thus, a variance will be necessary. Consideration of the Variance has been scheduled for the Planning Commission meeting on April 7, 2016. The plans do include a temporary cul-de-sac bulb that would only be constructed should a future phase that eliminates the condition triggering the need for a variance not occur within twelve (12) months of recording of the Final Plat of Woodlands 2nd Addition, which Staff finds acceptable. A Temporary Road Easement will be necessary and a draft easement document has been submitted by the Applicant for review. The cost of the cul-de-sac bulb shall be included in the Engineer's Estimate of public improvements as it will need to be factored in as part of the Stage I Financial Surety. The Temporary Drainage, Utility, and Roadway Easement needs to be amended to reflect 159th Ave NW/ (it currently depicts 160th Ave NW). The current proposed plat does not include a road connection to Traprock Street per City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat. The City Council required that the Developer extend a hydrant to the south to the terminus of Traprock Street for the specific purpose of public safety and Fire Department Services. A hydrant in this area would significantly benefit efforts of our Fire Department in the event of an emergency, and would have the potential for insurance benefit to individual property owners. The submitted plans do include a fire hydrant just north of the Traprock St. cul-de-sac. The specific location of the hydrant will need to be modified as it presently is shown in the middle of a proposed pedestrian trail. Sidewalks and Trails. Through the Preliminary Plat review, a number of residents of Traprock Commons expressed a willingness to consider a pedestrian trail to connect to Traprock St. rather than a road connection. The plans provide for a bituminous trail between Lots 4 & 5, Block 2. The plans will need to be revised to indicate a ten (10) foot wide trial and to show the trail connecting to Traprock St. A Ped Ramp will be required at this connection and a detail for the Ped Ramp will need to be added to the plan set. Sidewalks are proposed on one side of each public street. Sidewalk width is shown as six (6) feet, which meets City standards. Landscaping. Per the review of the Tree Preservation Plan as part of the Preliminary Plat, each lot shall be required to be landscaped with four (4) trees. At least two (2) trees shall be located in the front yard. Staff would encourage the Applicant to install at least one of the front yard trees in the boulevard area in front of each lot (both if spacing is adequate). A full size copy of the approved Landscape Plan, prepared by Anderson Passe &Associates with a revision date of June 30, 2015, shall be submitted for a complete set of plans for the 2" Addition. Density Transitioning. The proposed plat is adjacent to an existing larger lot residential neighborhood. These abutting lots are zoned R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) so density transitioning must be provided. As part of the review of the Preliminary Plat, it was agreed that some form of a restrictive covenant or deed would be provided to preserve the wooded area separating
