Agenda - Planning Commission - 07/12/2001

Home

Sidewalks will be constructed on one side of all non cul-de-sac streets. Trail connections are proposed to and through Bear Park to the east all the way to Roanoke Street, through the unamed park lot to the north, and along the north side of Alpine Drive from Hwy. #47 to Roanoke Street. Park dedication will consist of dedicating land for internal trails and expanding the park area at Woodland Green and Bear Parks. The Park Commission is also recommending some capital improvements (play equipment, paved parking, irrigation) to Bear and Woodland Green parks, the details of which will be discussed when they review the preliminary plat on July 12. The City Engineer's have reviewed the grading plan and have made recommendations for modifications. The grading plan does identify trees to be preserved but it should be modified to identify the addition of one tree to each yard. City Code currently does not require density transitioning between neighborhoods of differing densities. The larger lot requirements on the north end of the plat because of Scenic River Overlay standards provide some transitioning from Reilley Estates to the north. As a result of developer discussions with neighbors to the north, the plan also proposes to plat some 50 foot wide outlots along the north boundary of the plat. The outlots will be offered for sale to the property owners to the north in order that they may have more control over the buffer area adjacent to their respective lot if they feel it is necessary. Recommendation: City Staff recommends preliminary plat approval contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter. Commission Action: Motion to recommend that City Council approve the preliminary plat for Centex Addition contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review Letter dated July 5, 2001.
