We offer the following comments: General: The preliminary plat proposes to develop 26 single family lots on the property located generally northwest of Armstrong Boulevard and west of Tiger Street. The total area of the property is 73 acres, and all lots are proposed to be clustered, under Section 9.20.11 of City Code. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Rural Developing Area. The gross density permitted is 1 unit per 2.5 acre.s,, or .4 units per acre. The proposed development proposes a gross density of.35 units per acre. Lot Area and Width: The current minimum lot size in the R-1 - Rural Developing Area is 10,800 square feet, with a maximum of 32,670 square feet. The required lot width is 80 feet (90 feet for comer lots). All proposed lots appear to conform to these requirements. Future Subdivision Plan: According to City Code, the submitted future subdivision plan for the southwest part of the plat should be platted as an outlot. While Code also requires future streets to be platted as separate outlots, it is generally acceptable in this case to plat the entire area as a single outlot. Please submit a revised plat that indicates the future development area as an outlot. Density Transitioning: The proposed plat is surrounded by roads and another proposed subdivision, Kelly Acres, and will not require density transitioning efforts, unless directed by City Council. -182-
