No comments Reviewed by: Steve Smith Date: 02/19/2008 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY Annexation: 1977 Zoning: A-O to C-1 (1979 and 1982) Site development: Mostly undeveloped. A new facility for Curry Plumbing has been built on a new site at another location. The old facility still exists on the subject property. COMMENTS Water: A 12-inch water line exists along Rock Prairie Road. The Plat shows compliance with the Water Master Plan. Sewer: Sanitary sewer to serve the site is being proposed from an existing 8-inch main on the adjacent property. An off-site PUE for this extension will be required. The sanitary sewer design report submitted with the Final Plat will have to show that there is additional capacity in the existing lines to serve this development. Streets: No public streets are proposed with this Plat. Additional ROW width for Rock Prairie Road is proposed for dedication with the Final Plat, as well as a small section of thoroughfare which clips the eastern corner of the property as presented in the approved Master Plan. Off-site Easements: Off-site easements may be required for storm water. Stormwater design shall be in compliance with Unified Stormwater Design Guidelines. Drainage: Property is located in the Lick Creek Drainage Basin. Drainage on the property is to the southeast. Flood Plain: No FEMA regulated floodplain is located on the property. Oversize Request: None requested. REVIEW CRITERIA 1. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance: This area is designated as Retail Regional on the Land Use Plan. The property's zoning of C-1 conforms to this and the proposed plat meets all the minimum requirements for C-1 lots. The preliminary plat is also in compliance with the Master Plan that was approved by the Commission on February 7, 2008. 2. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed preliminary plat will require a variance to Section 8-J.2 Blocks. The applicant has submitted a letter to request a variance to the maximum block length of 800'. The exceeding block length is located along State Highway 6 and measures approximately 922.61', which would require a variance of 122.61'.

That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area, or to the City in administering this chapter; and 4.
