Case No.:95-235 & 94-314
Applicant: Edward Froehling
ITEM: Consideration of a Final Plat for Shenandoah Phase Three and a Revised
Master Preliminary Plat for Shenandoah Phases Two -Five, located southeast of
Barron Road.
ITEM SUIVIlVIARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This plat consists of
11.013 acres and is being subdivided into 41 single family lots. The property is
currently zoned R-1. A preliminary plat of this property was approved by Council in
September of last year. The preliminary plat had shown different phase lines than
depicted on this final plat. The applicant desired to change the phase lines to avoid
having any temporary dead-end streets, where a temporary cul-de-sac may be
necessary. A Presubmission Conference was held for this plat on September 20, 1995.
At this meeting, staff concurred with the new phase lines and requested that the
applicant submit a revised master preliminary plat depicting these new locations. There
were a few other comments raised at that meeting. Due to the fact that the preliminary
plat was approved before streetscape requirements were adopted, streetscape
compliance is not mandatory for this plat. However, staff did request that the
developer voluntarily comply with streetscape. Staff recommends approval of the
final plat and the revised preliminary plat.
