The site is generally located south of Trott Brook and west of Olivine Street. The purpose of the Sketch Plan is to review the general layout of the proposed lots, streets (cul-de-sac) and overall use of the property. This is the first step prior to submittal of a preliminary plat and affords the Commission the opportunity to provide input on the design prior to detailed plans are developed. Staff recommended that the Applicant proceed with preparing a Preliminary Plat for consideration. However, based on the aforementioned concerns with Lot 17, Block 2, it may be more appropriate to eliminate that lot, unless additional wetland mitigation and construction of public roadway is completed. Removal of the lot in question would result in twenty-six (26) total lots. Commission Business Acting Chairperson VanScoy stated that the plan that was provided shows an extension beyond the cul-de-sac and asked if that was intended. City Planner Anderson stated that the applicant is proposing a cul-de-sac with dedicated right-of- way to connect with the eastern boundary of the plat for Quartz Street. He stated that at this point in time they are not proposing to make the dedication but simply preserve that corridor should the City deem that connection necessary in the future. Acting Chairperson VanScoy asked under what circumstance the City would deem that necessary if that is floodplain. Planning Commission/July 21, 2016 Page 8 of 20
