Case No.: 95-211
Request: Consideration of a Final Plat of Shenandoah Phase II
Applicant: McClure Engineering, Inc. For Owner, Edward Froehling
ITEM SUNIlVIARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The subject property includes approximately 12.176 acres divided into 39 single family
lots bounded by Barron Road to the northwest, Shenandoah Phase I to the southeast,
Southwood Valley Baptist Church property to the northeast and the remainder of the
Froehling 46 acres to the southwest. The final plat is to facilitate the future
development of the Shenandoah Subdivision.
This plat was reviewed by staff at a presubmission conference on March 22, 1995.
Staff recommends approval of the final plat with the ordinance requirements
outlined in the presubmission conference report and the following:
The preliminary plat for this phase was approved prior to the adoption of the
Streetscape Ordinance. That ordinance would impose screening requirements along
Barron Road. Despite the timing of the preliminary plat, staff would recommend that
the developer explore the possibility of installing screening along Barron Road in
compliance with the Streetscape Ordinance. This should help soften the impact of the
back yard fence line and the detention pond along Barron Road. Staff would also
request that the developer identify a maintenance entity responsible for maintenance of
the screening, if required.
