Observations: The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. The property is approximately23.5 acres in size and proposes to plat 45 new urban lots for development and one existing homestead for a total of 46 lots. The gross density of the plat is 1.95 units per acre; factoring out the wetland, the net density is 2.05 units per acre. This complies with City Code and the Comprehensive Plan. In accordance with the approved sketch plan, the street plan proposes connection with streets planned in adjacent developments. Junkite will be extended north off Alpine and'terminate at the north boundary of the plat in a permanent cul-de-sac because of the presence of wetlands. Street connections will be made with 154t~ Lane and 155th Lane in Sunflower Ridge to the east. The preliminary plat will extend 155~ Lane to the west boundary, of the property for future access to the west. It will be constructed as a temporary cul-de-sac and will be signed as a future through street. Neither the temporary nor the permanent cul-de-sac exceed the 600 foot length restriction. All of the lots meet the 10,800 square foot lot size requirement. The preliminary plat is missing measurements necessary to determine that the 80 foot (90 feet on comers) lot width requirements are met either at the street or the building setback line. 39
