Review File:Preliminary Plat and Variance:Homestead Road Subdivision Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code Review Page 3 of 4 Setbacks: The required setbacks are outlined below. I • Required: Proposed: Front yard: 30 feet 30 feet Side yard uninhabitable: 6feet Side yard habitable: 10 feet 10 feet Side yard corner: 30 feet Not applicable • I feet 30+feet Minimum lot width: I 1 feet 80 feet Owl- *Note:Minimum Lot Width is measured at front yard setback(30 feet from front property line),not front property line,nor at curb line. On Lots 1 and 3,the side yard setback is shown as six(6) feet. While this is accurate for the uninhabitable portions of the proposed structures(garages),the minimum side yard setback for habitable(home)portions is ten (10) feet. The building setback line along the east line of Lot 1 and the west line of Lot 3 shall be revised to ten (10)feet. Building Elevations: No elevations of the proposed homes were submitted. Individual models are not included for review. In a single family development, it is difficult to approve every individual potential model at time of Plat. The Applicant has included a possible deck on the proposed home on Lot 1. This should also be provided for the proposed home on Lot 3. Based on the proximity to the wetland setback boundaries,the only possibility for a deck/patio on Lot 3 is off the northeast corner of the home. Streets: 166 'Ave is a Municipal State Aid (MSA)road,which requires a dedicated right-of-way (r-o-w) of eighty (80) feet. The Preliminary Plat is proposing to dedicate forty (40) feet of right-of-way to the public. As part of the reconstruction of 166'Ave, the City was granted a permanent road easement over portions of the Subject Property. As part of the platting process,this permanent road easement underlying what will become dedicated public right-of-way shall be vacated (plat must be adjusted though to ensure that there is sufficient drainage and utility easement around the existing stormwater pond). A description of the Easement shall be prepared by the Applicant and submitted to the City for processing an Easement Vacation (done via ordinance, which requires two [2] readings by City Council). There is an existing sidewalk in front of the Subject Property;no additional sidewalk is required. Easements: Drainage and utility easements are required on each lot and must be ten (10) feet in width abutting dedicated right-of-way,five (5)feet in width along both side lot lines,and encumber any 100-year storm event for all existing and proposed surface waters and wetlands. Additionally,Drainage and Utility Easements must extend at least sixteen and a half(16.5)feet beyond the delineated wetland edge. The Plat must be revised to provide sufficient drainage and utility easement over both rain gardens as well as the existing stormwater pond. Density Transitioning:The proposed plat is adjacent to an existing larger lot residential neighborhood that is zoned R-1 Residential(Rural Developing),and thus,density transitioning would be applicable. However the lot directly adjacent to the subject property is owned by the City and appears to be entirely wetland. As such,this satisfies the density transitioning requirement. Tree Preservation: A detailed tree inventory identifying all significant trees, as defined in City Code Section 117-327 (and outlined below),was submitted. However,the inventory was not overlayed with the grading plan nor were there any indications of which trees were proposed to be removed or preserved. The
