Case No: Request: 94"-216 and 94-504 Applicant: Consideration ofafinal plat and site plan for Troy Subdivision andWaterford Apartments, located on Dartmouth between Brentwood Subdivision and ~O . Subdivision. These considerations are a requirement for the property to mamtam the POO #2 zoning that was recently granted. MDGEngineers for David & Kelli Lewis, Owners PHYSICAL FEATURES Location:, Property is located between Colgate Circle and Manuel Drive. It has 555 feet of frontage along Dartmouth and the depth is approximately 1450 feet. Area: 13.65 acres No. Lots: 1 ZONING AND LAND USE Subject Tract: POO #2 North: R-4 Apartments-Low Density (developed as fourplexes) with vacant R-l at the northeast corner. .. East: WPC (~acant) South: R-l (developed as single family) West: R-5 (vacant) Proposed Use: Apartment Complex with 192 dwelling units for a density of 14 dwelling units per acre. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Land Use Plan: Property reflected as medium density residential with areas to the north and south as low density residential. Thoroughfare Plan: Dartmouth is a minor arterial. The extension of Cornell as a residential collector west' of this property to connect Manuel and Brentwood Drives is a part of recent revisions to the City's thoroughfare plan. Development Policies: According to poficies this is an appropriate location for medium density residential development. Land use policies do recommend buffering lower intensity uses from higher intensity uses, but multi-famjly uses are also considered appropriate buffers between single family uses and commercial.uses. Parkland Dedication: Will require $225 perdweUing unit at the time of building pe:rmit. ENGINEERING . Water: Water is available to this area through an 8" waterline along Dartmouth. This particular waterline alone wiIInot necessarily serve the increased density. There are other options to provide the water service necessary for this increase in density that would consist of utilizing the 8" waterline on Dartmouth and tying it into other waterlines in the area. . .. . . . Sewer: Sewer is available on both the north and south property, lines. '. It is very likely that a combination use of these lines with some possible upgrades would serve the increased density. Drainage: Drainage is overland. there will be 3 detention ponds located on the property to control runoff Staff has some concern about the aesthetics of these ponds. Applicant has agreed to address these concerns. Flood Plain: N/A NOTIFICA TION: Legal Notice Publication(s): Advertised Commission Hearing Date(s): 5-19-94 Advertised Council Hearing Dates: 6-9-94 There is no legally required. notification but staff has notified property owners that were concerned during the original rezoning hearings. STAFF COMMENTS Council has previously rezoned this property to PUD #2. A condition ofPUD zoning is that final plats and final site plans go back to the Commission and Council within one year of the date of approval of the rezoning. The rezoning was approved with the foIIowing conditions: 1. Buffering of the single family area to the south. At a minimum this should take the form of canopy trees ,on 25 foot centers, a 6' solid wooden fence and shrubbery plantings on either side of the fence. 2. Secondary access to Cornell. If this is not possible at the time the project is constructed or ready for occupancy (because the extension is not on the developers property),at the very least there should be a development agreement approved whereby the developer has provided some monetary participation for when the extension can occur. 3. Project height should not exceed two stories. The final plat complies with the preliminary plat as approved. The site plan proposal is for a two-story multi-family development containing 192 dwelling units on 13.65 acres for a density of approximately 14 dweIIing urutsper acre. Access is proposed to be from Dartmouth as was shown on the approved conceptual site plan. Due to the size of the development the Council approved' the recommendation that a secondary access point be taken from the Cornell extension. The final site plan shows the required screening fence, tree plantings and shrubbery along the south side adjacent to the single family area. Staff has been working with the developer to prepare a development agreement to bring to Council in the future addressing the Cornell extension. All details are yet to be resolved. Recommendation: I The final plat and site plan were reviewed by the PRC!on 5-11-94. Staff recommends approval of the final plat as submitted with the PRC comment regarding the electrical easerp.ent. Staff recommends approval of the, site plaJ) with the additions' required, by the PRC. No penruts for construction will be issued until the final condition regarding the extension of CorneII has been satisfied.
