Applicant: Joe Schultz, Engineer for owner. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Master Preliminary Plat with the condition that the attached Staff Review Comments are addressed. Item Summary: This item is for the consideration of a Master Preliminary Plat for the Crowley Tract, located at Greens Prairie Road and SH 6 South. This plan was approved previously by the Commission in 2002. Changes to the Plan include: • Mention of implementation of Bikeways Master Plan. Access easements to be provided at time of bikeway development. • Sewer line extension and PUE to CSID site. • Change R -1A zonings to R -1. The UDO does not include R -1A zoning classification. • Mention of roadways to be constructed with associated lots at Final Plat. • Emergency access points per Note 16. • Dedicated parkland tract. • Relocation of Helmsley Drive to comply with the recently approved Comp Plan amendment. Whereas, the UDO does not provide for a MPP any longer, this item has not expired and is being extended as an MPP. If further subdivision is proposed on individual tracts, a preliminary plat should be submitted prior to final. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: Land Use Plan: The plat complies with the LUP. Institutional areas are shown on the Plan, however these areas usually develop as the need arises, i.e. newly acquired CSID property. Thoroughfare Plan: The proposed SH 40 is shown on the plan as a highway. Helmsley is shown as a Minor Collector. Oxburgh is shown on the plan as a Major Collector. Oxburgh is to be changed to Arrington Road to provide continuity across SH 40. Whereas, no phasing is shown on plat, thoroughfares will be required to be constructed with each corresponding Final Plat submitted. Parkland Dedication: Dedication will be met with the 5.485 -acre park on Helmsley Loop, a portion of which was previously dedicated. The remainder is to be dedicated as surrounding residential property is developed, Open Space Dedication: Substantial open space is planned for the area. Floodplain will be preserved in certain areas including Tract 2R, which has been reserved as a Conservation Zone. Tracts 3E, 3B -1 and 1D are Open Space, as well. Compliance with Master plan: The plat complies with the approved Master Development Plan, somewhat, in that several changes have occurred since the Master Plan was approved. Each incremental change on the Preliminary Plat has been approved by the Commission. Compliance with rezoning conditions: All lots meet zoning requirements. Each Final Plat will be required to meet existing zoning requirements. Greenways: Greenways are shown but none dedicated to the City. Budgetary & Financial Summary: OP to be requested and evaluated on roadways and utilities in accordance with Section 9 of the Subdivision Regulations. Related Advisory Board Recommendations: Parks Board approved a 5 -acre park at the location shown. Supporting Materials: 1. Location Map 2. Application 3. Infrastructure and Facilities 4.
