I offer the following comments: 1) General Layout. The preliminary plat is proposing to plat one buildable lot and one outlot. Lot 1, Block 1 is 1.23 acres (53,675 square feet) in size. The property is bordered by Per/dot Street to the east, Sunwood Drive to the south, Rhinestone Street to the west, and 145th Street to the north. It should be noted that Rtfinestone Street and Sunwood Drive are MSA roads. 2) Zoning: The property is zoned Town Center Distr/ct and located w/thin sub-district TC-3. 3) Lot Si:e. The TC-3 District does not require a minimum lot size. 4) Lot width and Depth. City. Code states minimum lot width is 40 feet and minimum lot depth has been established at 80 feet within the TC-3 Distr/ct. The subject property, is proposing a lot width of 298.33 feet and lot depth of 179.92 feet, which exceeds City Code requirements. 5) Grading Phtn: A detailed ~ading plan will be reviewed.at the'time the lo.t develops with commercial uses and is proceeding through site plan review. 6) Drainage and Utility Easements: The preliminary plat is providing a 10 foot drainage and utility, easement along the north and west plat boundary lines. The site plan submitted for the development of the office building on the subject property is showing a zero lot line setback along a portion of the northern plat boundm,'y line. It should also be noted that parking stalls are being proposed along the western boundary line where the easement is being proposed. The City is not requir/ng the proposed 10 foot drainage and utility easements along the north and west boundary lines. Drainage and utility easements will be required along City. utility lines. 7) Proposed Commercial Development. The City received a site plan application fbr the development of Lot 1, Block 1. The site plan is proposing to construct a two story building equaling 43,168 square feet in size.
