She explained that while working with the Ashford property. owners and their engineers, drainage design has become a difficult issue. Property owners downstream have experienced localized flooding and drainage problems from this creek. Drainage Policy and Design Standards require developments to mitigate .adverse impacts on downstream properties. In light of this and a recent drainage analysis being performed by the Ashford Square replat, it is .apparent that there will be significant drainage considerations .that must be addressed when developing the property. Staff would recommend that this property owner, along with the Ashford Square property owner jointly look at .regional detention or channel. improvements that may be necessary. The City would offer facilitating: such discussions- and will review possible participation in :long term maintenance of the facility. Staff recommend approval of the preliminary plat with the .condition that all staff review comments are addressed. Greg Swoboda, representative of the ®wner of Oak Forest Mobile Home Park, expressed concern with drainage downstream because of past flooding problems in the area. Mr. Swoboda said that with all the new development in the area the drainage problems will increase. Comrnissioner Rife moved to approve the preliminary plat with staff notes. Commissioner Lightfoot seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6-0).

Policy Issue Statement: Civic Pride Citizens benefit from well-planned, attractive residential and commercial areas, and from preserving historic areas. The Land Use Plan reflects attached residential on the west side of the future Dartmouth extension with neighborhood commercial in front of it at the intersection.

Item Background: The property. was rezoned in October of .1994 from single family to R-5, along with the R-2 and C-N designations for the rest of the subdivision. The applicant worked with the City to bring the request in line with the Comprehensive Plan, which had been updated shortly before that time to cover the FM 2818 extension area. The City has recently approved a preliminary plat of the entire subdivision, which will include a portion of the Dartmouth extension, apartment development, an 18-lot duplex street, and a ~~~, neighborhood commercial site. Two phases have been submitted as preliminary plats -the first f J was approved late 1997; the second is scheduled for P&Z approval February 5.
