HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes ~\o-~o B AGENDA ITEM NO.4: Public hearing to consider a final (replat) plat of the Henton Subdivision, a 3.51 acre lot located along the northwest side of Lincoln near the Munson intersection. Applicant is the owner, J. V. Henton. (96-205) Graduate Civil Engineer Homeyer presented the staff report and stated that the proposed development is contingent upon the filing of a development agreement between the developer and the City. This development agreement provides for the relo<;ation of a previous zoning condition for a fence six feet in height to buffer residential and commercial zonings. The City Council approved the rezoning of this property with the condition that a development agreement be filed. The approval of this final plat is contingent upon the. zoning and therefore also contingent on the development agreement. This plat complies with all. subdivision requirements and therefore, staff recommended approval of the final replat with the corrupents identified at the Presubmission Conference and the filing for record of a development agreement approved by the City Council. There were several inquiries concerning the request including several calls received in opposition to the final plat. Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing. Stephen Miller of 906 Munson informed the Commission that he is not in opposition to the request; however, he is opposed to the fact that the neighbors were not notified of the meeting. The only notification receiyedwas a sign that was installed the Tuesday before the meeting. When the City is dealing with an issue that affects people's health, happiness and daily life, they should be given the necessary information. Deidre Cannon of 903 Munson requested that no building be allowed to take place in the general area until the.neighbofhood traffic issues are resolved. Currently, residents along Munson are unable to pull out of their driveways due to the 7,000 to 8,000 vehicles that travel along Munson daily. She stated that she is not opposed to the proposed development; however, development in the area must slow down to allow the City and the neighborhood time to address the existing traffic problems. Oran Nicks of 901 Munson approached the Commission and suggested that the notification rules be changed. to notifY the neighbors in such instances. A sign placed on the property that people may. not see is inadequate. Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing. Commissioner Garner moved to approve the final plat of the Henton Subdivision with staff recommendations. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (S - 0). AGENDA ITEM NOS. 5 & 6: Public hearing to consider a conditional use permit for additions and renovations at the South Knoll Elementary School, including a new building totaling 15,028 square feet.

P & Z Minutes August 1, 1996 Page 4 of 10 College Hills Expansion The use permit for College Hills is requested in order to construct a 8,645 square foot addition containing three new classrooms. The structure is proposed to be located in the rear northeast area of the campus, adjacent to the existing fourth grade building. A variance to the maximum distance of 150 feet to a fire lane is also requested for the new structure. Staff has no problem with this variance request, as long. as the building is sprinklered. No new parking is proposed nor required by ordinance for this project. The school district states that the addition of classroom space will have no impact on traffic to the campus. The project involves other site improvements as well, such as the relocation of a sewer line and the addition of play areas and a walking/runnin$. track. A . few inquiries have been received from adjacent residents along Ashburn Avenue who are concerned with the visibility of the proposed structure from the rear of their properties. .As reflected on the site plan, the new structure will be placed in line with the adjacent fourth grade building, and the densely wooded area around the existing creek will continue to serve as a natural buffer from the nearby residential areas. South Knoll Expansion A separate use permit is also requested for expansions and site enhancements to South Knoll Elementary, which is located on Southwest Parkway and Langford Street. The project involves. an 11,065 square foot addition to the cafeteria on the interior of the campus, as well as a 3,963 square foot addition to the main building for additional classrooms. The school district plans to increase enrollment to South Knoll by approximately 19 students. No new parking areas are proposed; however, they are requesting to lengthen the existing circular drive along Boswell Street to accommodate more vehicles for drop-off. An additional driveway/fire lane is. also proposed along the. southwest property line in order to provide better access to the interior of th~ site. As is proposed for the College Hills project, the South Knoll project also involves vario~s site improvements such as a new water line and fire hydrant, additional sidewalks and .coverings, and an 8' walking/running track. Staff Planner Dunn. recommended approval of both conditional use permits and the fire lane variance for College Hills, with the Project Review Committee comments. Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing. Repres~ntative of the applicant, Tom Eyeington with Total Program Management approached the Commission and offered to answer any questions concerning the two requests. Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing.
