Recommendation: Some residents have spoken about concerns over the proposed drainage caused by this development. Staff is awaiting a revised grading and drainage plan. After clear direction from City Council, the applicant has revised their original plan to develop townhomes on the subject property to proposing single - family lots. After initial discussion at the Council worksession about the possibility of achieving 5 lots on the property, staff has determined that the proposed plat indicating 5 lots will not conform to the zoning district standards and will cause the cul -de -sac width standards to be compromised. Based on code standards, the proposed plat will not conform without a zoning amendment to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Since staff is recommending denial of the zoning request, a positive recommendation cannot be given regarding the plat. Also, Staff has made requests for revisions regarding the drainage, grading, and landscaping plans Therefore, staff recommends that the applicant revise their preliminary plat to conform to City Code standards set forth in the R -1 Single - Family Residential district. The Planning Commission has also recommended denial of the plat based on the inability to conform to the R -1 standards.
