Assistant City Engineer Morgan stated the proposed subdivision will include the extension of Dartmouth Drive through the property from Southwest Parkway. The proposed duplex development will lie to the east of the new. road extension, the apartment lot will. lie to the west. The neighborhood commercial property will be located on the -southwest corner of the new intersection. The development of the duplexportion of the subdivision will include a residential cul-de-sac that will extend off of the Dartmouth extension and will provide access for the duplex lots. The applicant requested oversize participation for Dartmouth to recover the difference in cost between the collector road necessary to serve his development and the larger minor arterial necessary to serve the City's traffic needs. Oversize participation will also be requested for right-of-way, water and storm sewer for this subdivision. Under the new ordinance, right-of-way widths have increased for minor and major arterials to allow for the addition of bicycle use and for medians in the center of the right-of-way. Medians are required on major arterials and an option on minor arterials to the center two-way turn lane. The installation costs will be passed onto the City because the minor arterials involve oversize participation. Also, the cost of maintenance will impact the City's Parks and Recreation Department annual budget. The master preliminary plat meets the City's development ordinances as well as the Comprehensive Plan for the area. Staff recommended approval with conditions established by the Presubmission Conference. Councilman Birdwell moved approval of the preliminary plat without the minor arterial median. Councilman Mariott seconded the motion which carried by a vote of 3-2. FOR: Councilmembers Anderson, Birdwell, and Mariott AGAINST: Mayor Mcllhaney and Councilman Esmond
