Case #10: Request for Sketch Plan Review of West Radium Business Center; Case of Mark Peck City Planner Rasmussen stated that H & P Development (Mark Peck) is in the process of platting a minor subdivision containing two lots known as West Radium Business Center First Addition. The area to be platted is at the corner of 140t~ Avenue and Radium Street NW. In the Industrial District, the minimum lot size is one acre and the minimum lot width is 200 feet. The proposed lot of 1 and lA is 2.787 acres in size, with a lot width of 275.27 feet. The proposed lot 2 and 2A is 2.654 acres in size, with a lot width of 298.85 feet. A grading and drainage plan has been provided as part of the site plan for the development of the lots. The standard drainage and utility easements are provided along all property lines, with the exception of the common property line shared by the two proposed lots. The standard drainage and utility easements are not proposed on the common property line to facilitate a proposed shared paved area along this line. Staff finds the elimination of the drainage and utility easement for this paved area acceptable. The plat will have three public access points from existing streets. Lots 1 and lA will have access on 140th Avenue, as well as shared access points on Radium Street. Lots 2 and 2A will have access at the shared access point of Radium Street, as well as an additional access on Radium Street in the southeastern portion of the property. Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Dempsey, to approve the sketch plan for West Radium Business Center First Addition and recommend that City Council grant final plat approval.
