Applicant: Parviz Vessali, agent for owner Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. Item Summary: This item is for consideration for a revised Preliminary Plat for Greens Prairie Center, consisting of 7 lots. This revision exludes Phase 1 which has already been final platted. The initial Preliminary Plat was approved on July 6, 2006 and significant revisions include the addition of a lot and access easement in Block 7 of Phase 5 and a public utility easement has been provided across the plat for sanitary sewer from the west. A number of block length variances were granted previously and are still part of the plat. Specifically, Blocks 3 & 4 received a 800-foot variance, Blocks 5 & 6 received a 800-foot along SH 40, a 1950-foot along Arrington Road, and a 700-foot along future Arrington Road. Block 7 also received a 200-foot block length variance along Arrington Road and 100-foot along SH 40. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan shows this area to be Regional Retail except for approximately 15 acres in the southwest corner (Phase 4) which is Single- family Residential Medium Density. The Thoroughfare Plan designates State Highway 40 and State Highway 6 as Highways and Arrington Road as a Major Collector. With the development of Phase 2A, Arrington Road will be realigned to the existing stub at Greens Prairie Road at the northwest corner of the plat. The existing Arrington Road will remain as a cul-de-sac, requiring all thru traffic on the new alignment. The Preliminary Plat is in compliance with the previously approved Master Plan. Item Background: Land within the plat was annexed into the City in 1983, 1993, and 2002. The majority of Phase 5 was zoned C-1, General Commercial in 1983. The remainder of Phase 5 and other areas of the plat were zoned A-O, Agricultural Open upon annexation. All but Phase 4 was rezoned to C-1, General Commercial in January 2006. The Corridor Overlay (OV) District was added to the land within approximately 1000 feet of SH 6 and SH 40 in July 2006. The initial Preliminary Plat was approved on July 6, 2006 and the Final Plat for Phase 1 was approved on August 3, 2006. Budgetary & Financial Summary: None at this time. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Parks Board: Phase 4 is for a single family development that may change to office/ commercial before it is developed. The proposal would be for 90 single family lots. The Parks Board recommended 90 units at $358.00 per unit which would be a total of $32,220.00. Required Land Dedication recommended is 0.89 Acres or $17,820.00. Commission Action Options: The Commission has final authority over the preliminary plat. The options regarding the preliminary plat are: • Approval • Denial INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES Water: There is a water main line on the eastern corner of the property.
