CASE #: 5 <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF CENTEX ADDITION; <br />CASE OF CENTEX HOMES <br /> By: Principal Planner Patrick Trudgeon <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Centex Homes has submitted a sketch plan for the subdivision of property generally located north of <br />153rd Avenue N.W. Thc property is approximately 74 acres in size and is proposed to be subdivided <br />into 157 single family lots. The following items are enclosed: ' <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Sketch plan <br />City Staff Review Letter dated April 27, 2001 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />No surrounding properties were notified of the sketch plan submittal. The property will need to be <br />platted and rezoned and notification will be required for the preliminary plat' and rezoning public <br />hearings. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R-1Rural Residential and a rezoning to R-1 Urban Residential is <br />required. The property is in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and the development is proposed <br />to be served by sanitary sewer and municipal water. The current comprehensive plan and the draft <br />comprehensive plan designate this area for low density residential. The proposed density of the plat <br />is 2.1 units per acre. Verification that lots widths and areas are met will have to be verified on the <br />preliminary plat. It is also noted that Lots 1 through 13 of Block 1 appear to be in the Scenic River <br />Overlay District for which there is an increase in lot width and area. <br /> <br />Two accesses are proposed onto 153rd Avenue to the south and one access is proposed to 156th <br />Lane to the north. There are also 3 street connections with existing streets in adjacent <br />neighborhoods proposed: 155th Lane, Waco Street and Ute Street. A traffic generation analysis will <br />be required as part of the preliminary plat.materials. <br /> <br />The City Engineer's have reviewed the preliminary grading plan and have made recommendations <br />for modifications. <br /> <br />City Code currently does not require density transitioning between neighborhoods of differing <br />densities. The larger lot requirements on the north end of the plat because of Scenic River Overlay <br />standards may provide some transitioning from Reilley Estates to the north. However, some <br />transitioning from Halland Acres to the west and Stanhope Terrace to the east may warrant some <br />discussion. <br /> <br /> <br />
