Staff Review Comments Page 1 of 1
STAFF REPORT
Item: A Preliminary Plat of approximately 56.08 acres, Pebble Hills Estates Phases 1 & 2
Subdivision located on the north side of Greens Prairie Road approximately 1400 feet east of
State Highway 6. (99-316)
Applicant: Jerry Windham and Frank Thurmond.
Item Summary: The Preliminary Plat of 56.08 acres is out of the Pebble Hills Estates Master
Development Plan was previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
September 19, 1996. However, the project could not move forward due to the lack of sewer
availability. The previously approved preliminary plat expired after 18 months. The Spring
Creek Impact Fee Sewer Trunk line was completed approximately 3 months ago.
The Land Use Plan shows the area as medium density single family with a density range of 3 to 6
dwelling units per acre. The plan is for 103 single-family lots to be developed over 2 phases.
The gross density will be 1.8 dwelling units per acre and the net density (excluding rights-of-way
and parkland dedication) will be 3.2 dwelling units per acre. The property was re-zone to R-1 by
the City Council in July 1996. The property to the north is zoned R-1, to the east and northwest
A-O, and to the south and southwest C-1. All surround properties are currently undeveloped with
the exception of CIC insurance to the south across Greens Prairie Road.
The development will include a parkway style entrance, a minor collector loop street system and
four cul-de-sac local streets. 16.26 acres of predominately floodplain area will be dedicated as
parkland.
Item Background: The Preliminary Plat is in general conformance with the revised Pebble Hills
Estates Master Development Plan approved in August 1996 by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and City Council. Planning and Zoning Commission on September 19, 1996
previously approved this preliminary plat. However, the project could not move forward due to
the lack of sewer availability. The previously approved preliminary plat expired after 18 months.
The Spring Creek Impact Fee Sewer Trunk line was completed approximately 3 months ago.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES
Water: An 18-inch water line currently exists in Greens Prairie Road. Water will be
extended and looped through the subdivision at the final platting stage.
Sewer: An impact fee based CIP project was completed approximately 3 moths ago
which extended sewer service along Spring Creek through the northern portion of this
proposed subdivision. Sewer service will be extended throughout the subdivision as
part of the platting process.
Streets: The property has frontage along Greens Prairie Road. The development will
include a parkway style entrance, a minor collector loop street system and four cul-de-
sac local streets. No city Thoroughfares extend though this property.
Off-site Easements: None required
Drainage: A detention pond will be constructed within the parkland dedication area to
serve the development. The Parks Board reviewed this plan in July 1999.
Flood Plain: FEMA approved a Letter of Map Revision to define the flood plain along
Spring Creek in October 1999. The flood plain shown on this preliminary plat is in
general conformance with this recently defined floodplain. The Final Plats for this
subdivision should reflect the actual FEMA flood plain. In accordance with our
drainage ordinance, all home adjacent to the creek will be required to be elevated to 3
feet above base flood elevation.
Oversize request: None is expected.
Impact Fees: The property lies wholly within sanitary sewer impact fee area 97-01. At
present the fees are $349.55 per living unit equivalent (LUE). Impact fees are collected
at time of final platting of the subdivision.
