Special Planning Commission Meeting Date: 06/12/2017 Submitted For: Alec Henderson, Community Development By: Alec Henderson, Community Development 5. 1. Information Title: Review Sketch Plan for Cole Addition Sketch Plan (Project No. 17-132); Case of Bryon and Lynn Cole Purpose/Background: The purpose of this file is to review the official Sketch Plan, prepared by Landform and dated May 23, 2017, for the purpose of an eight (8) lot subdivision located northwest of the intersection of 16811 Avenue NW and Garnet Street NW. The Sketch Plan submitted includes seven (7) sheets. The Sketch Plan Review process affords the Planning Commission the opportunity to provide early direction on the layout of the proposed plat, before the Developer prepares detailed Preliminary Plat plans. A key decision will occur at Preliminary Plat, in which the layout will be approved, subject to approving final construction plans and Final Plat documents. At that time, the City will review items including, but not limited to, Grading Plan, Utility Plan, Landscape Plan, and Street Light Plan. Notification: Staff attempted to notify the owners of property within 700 feet of the proposed development about the proposed Sketch Plan review. Observations/Alternatives: Sketch Plan Review is the first of several steps in reviewing a Major Plat, which includes Sketch Plan Review, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat. This case is being reviewed per City Code Section 117-111 entitled R-1 Residential District and Chapter 117, Article III entitled Subdivisions. Comprehensive Plan: The Property is currently guided as Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the LDR land use designation is to allow for the construction of single-family dwellings with access to municipal sewer and water. The eight (8) lots in the Sketch Plan are proposed to be served by municipal sewer and water. The adjacent properties to the south and east, which weren platted as Now and Then Estates, are also guided as LDR as a result of a previous Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Zoning: The Property is currently zoned as R-1 Residential (MUSA). This allows for the development of single family, detached dwellings with a density of Three (3) units per one (1) acre. As proposed, the Sketch Plan describes platted property that is R-1 Residential (MUSA). The proposed density of the Sketch Plan is 3 units per acre and it appears to meet the minimum lot size and width standards of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) district. Dimensional/Bulk Standards: When preparing the Preliminary Plat, the Developer must demonstrate compliance with the bulk standards of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) district. It appears that the Sketch Plan does comply with the standards specified for this zoning district. Specifics are outlined in the Staff Review File. Wetlands: There do not appear to be any wetlands on the Property.
