AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Consideration of a Preliminary Plat and a Final Plat for the Wheeler
Subdivision, Phase. II, located along the south side of University Drive. and west of the Lincoln
Avenue intersection. The. preliminary plat consists of a single 2.0 acre lot and a 6.47 acre reserve
tract, whilethe final plan consists of only Lot 1, Block 1, the single 2.0 acre lot. (98-320 & 98-
225)
Assistant City Engineer Morgan presented the staff report and stated that a preliminary plat was
previously approved for this area in May 1998 which consisted of three lots and an access easement
from University Drive to Lincoln Avenue. The preliminary plat was approved by the Commission and
Council with several conditions, some related to access onto University Drive, some
floodplain/floodway conditions, and buffer conditions. among others. After additional research and cost
estimates were completed for the May 1998 plat,- the applicant decided that .the access easements
crossing the creek was .cost prohibitive.. Therefore the preliminary plat was revised to include only a
single lot..and a reserve tract. The plat was revised for this new submittal. The applicant has made all
corrections and modifications as requested from the original plat as well. as additional review comments
made during the staff review of this new plat .configuration. With the new configuration, ,the reserve
tract will be preliminary or final platted (whichever is applicable) once more definitive development
plans for that -area are known.:. Channel. improvements are being done with the final plat of lot 1 but .are
not being contemplated. the entire length. of the creek to the structure under. Lincoln/University.
Because of this :approach to improve the channel only-1/2 of the distance through the property,
additional channel improvements may be warranted at the time of final platting of the reserve tract.
The final plat consists of only the. 2.0 acre lot. There are several. offsite easements that will be necessary
for infrastructure extensions for Lot 1, Block 1. They areas follows:
. Detention will be handled for Lot. 1, Block. l within a private drainage easement located on the
reserve tract and will be maintained by Bert Wheeler, Inc., the subdivider of the property.
• As part of the final plat, an entrance .drive to. University Drive will, be constructed and an
additional 15' access easement adjacent to Lot 1 will be necessary to construct this drive.
• If a public drainage easement is to be dedicated. on the improved portion of the creek, the 30'
public access easement will need to be extended to the creek and the design such that
maintenance vehicles can get to the creek.
Staff recommend approval of the_preliminary plat and final plat as submitted with the condition that all
separate instrument easements -are conveyed concurrent with the filing of the final plat or prior. to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for structures on Lot 1, Block L
Stewart Kling, Project Engineer, told the Commission that he was present to answer any questions
about the project.
