HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes~... There has been some discussion. of the site layout. Ms. McCully explained that Manuel Drive currently dead-ends into the R-1 zoned portion of the subject property. The Thoroughfare Plan does show an extension of Manuel Drive through the R-1 tract to intersect with Dartmouth. Staff has questioned the need to extend the street considering the rezoning would increase in intensity slightly when considering the- R-l site but it is .questionable as to whether there would be any impact on the R-5 tract. She explained that the question of extending Manuel Drive may be answered on the site layout. Staff does not recommend extending Manuel Drive through to Dartmouth but Staff does recommend a pedestrian and bikeway where the extension. of Manuel Drive would have been, to provide access to the Park and to the bus service that runs along Dartmouth. Staff notified approximately 26 property owners in the 200' notification area, one response was received.. in inquiry but.. no responses in opposition. Staff recommended approval of the entire rezoning request. Commissioner Rife asked about. the drainage impact. Assistant City Engineer Morgan explained that there is drainage that comes off Richards Street into a small swa}e that runs into the culvert under Holleman. The preliminary proposal would be to have a culvert system constructed under the. parking lot that would accommodate the run-off drainage: as it leaves the site. The culvert could then tie into the culvert under Holleman: The design of the site would have to accommodate existing and potential run-off. Staff does not think this development would increase the drainage enough to have to alter the pattern. Chairman Massey opened the public hearing. Seeing no one to .speak in favor of or in opposition to the request, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner. Silvia moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request. Commissioner Parker seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5-0) AGENDA TI'EM NO. 3: Public hearing to consider a final (replat) plat of Lat 6 D.A. Smith Subdivision, approximately 0.3 acres, on the northwest corner of Lincoln and Avenue A, creating three new single family lots. (97-248) ~/ Senior Planner McCully presented the staff report and stated that the subject tract is located on the northeast. corner of Lincoln and Avenue A. The replat will ultimately result in the construction of three new homes on three separately platted lots.. Each lot is 33 feet shorter than required in the R-1 District and is somewhat smaller than the 5000 square. foot minimum lot size. The applicant has received variances for the' minimum depth and of size from the Zoning Board of Adjustments on November 18, 1997. Ms. McCully explained that the infrastructure is substandard within the area and Staff has had concerns .regarding additional loading an the water lines, sewer lines and on the street. The City currently has a Capital Improvement Project underway to upgrade the water and sewer lines in the area. Staff recommended that any replats include a 7' right-of-way dedication to accommodate. the potential upgrade to Avenue A in the future. In an effort to alleviate the potential negative impacts to the infrastructure, the applicant replatted the property to include the 7' right-of--way dedication and the applicant added a note to the plat that building permits for the two interior lots would not be issued until water and sewer lines have been upgraded as recommended by staff. The Land LTse Plan shows the area as "redevelopment", which is defined as areas that are currently developed but are. projected to redevelop as land values increase. Redevelopment is to occur under "mixed use" provisions. Staff recommended" approval of the .revised plat as submitted.
