Review File: Final Plat: Homestead Road Subdivision Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code Review Page 2 of 3 with regard to the proposed number of proposed lots. Note that the proposed homes shall be located in the general positions shown on the Preliminary Plat. Land Use and Zoning: The Subject Property is guided Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan and is located within the R-1 Residential (MUSA) zoning district. Review of the Preliminary Plat is based on the current zoning designation of R-1 Residential (MUSA). Each proposed lot complies with the minimum lot size of 10,800 sq. ft. Net Density Calculations. The Applicant shall provide gross acreage, as well as net acreage. Net acreage is calculated by subtracting wetland acreage from the gross acreage. The Applicant has provided a calculation of one (1) unit per 1.02 acres. Setbacks: The required setbacks are outlined below. Setbacks Re i uired: Front ard: 30 feet Side ard uninhabitable: 6 feet Proposed: 30 feet 6 feet Side ard habitable: 10 feet Side ard corner: 30 feet Rear ard: 30 feet Minimum lot width: 80 feet/corner lot 90 feet 10 feet Not applicable 30+ feet mIN 80 feet *Note: Minimum Lot Width is measured at front yard setback (30 feet from front property line), not front properly 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. 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 homes on Lots 1 and 3. This should also be provided for the proposed home on Lot 3. Note that no part of a deck can encroach on the required wetland setback area. Streets: 166th Ave is a Municipal State Aid (MSA) road, which requires a dedicated right-of-way (r-o-w) of eighty (80) feet. The Final Plat is dedicating forty (40) feet of right-of-way to the public. 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. It appears that the Final Plat includes sufficient drainage and utility easements. 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.
