Project Number: 07-00500175
Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on a Final Plat for Castle Rock Ph 1B & 1C
consisting of 17 lots and 2 common areas on 6.891 acres located on the north side of William D.
Fitch Parkway across from Castlegate Subdivision, west of Castle Rock Parkway.
Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Greens Prairie Investors, LTD.
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the final plat.
Item Summary: The applicant is proposing a final plat of the commercial portion of the Castle
Rock Subdivision which consists of 7 lots zoned for A-P, Administrative Professional, and an
emergency access easement that ties into a residential plat of 10 lots zoned PDD, Planned
Development District. The access easement will be for emergency vehicular access and
pedestrian and bicycle connectivity between the two land uses. There are common areas
provided to buffer the residential lots from William D. Fitch Parkway and an adjacent restricted
open space.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The subject property is shown on the Land Use Plan
as Single Family Medium Density and Office. The applicant has proposed a residential density
of 3.61. The final plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The plat also meets the
Concept Plan adopted by the DRB. Apart from the area now zoned for Administrative
Professional uses, all minimum standards are those of R-1 Single Family Residential, except
where meritorious modifications for building setbacks and lot widths were approved with the
concept plan. The plat is in compliance with the preliminary plat and the Subdivision
Regulations (with a variance to block length for Block 10, which was approved at time of
preliminary plat).
Item Background: The subject property was annexed into the City limits in April of 1995. The
property was rezoned to PDD and a concept plan was approved by the Design Review Board in
2005. The preliminary plat was approved in July 2007.
Budgetary & Financial Summary: None requested.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board recommended to accept park
land dedication of 5.863 acres. A 1.5-acre portion was dedicated with the Spring Creek
Townhome development. The associated development fee for the 1.5 acres was also
previously accepted in the amount of $105,610. The actual park land to be dedicated with this
development is a total of 4.525 acres, which is adjacent to the 1.5-acre parcel. Development
fees for the ten single family lots will be assessed.
Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the final plat.
The options regarding the final plat are:
• Approval
• Denial
