Item: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a Preliminary Plat for the
Castlegate Subdivision, Phase 6 consisting of 23 lots on 11.142 acres generally
located at on Green's Prairie Road west of Castlegate Drive.
Applicant: Wallace Phillips for Greens Prairie Investors, Ltd., Owner
Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat
as submitted.
Item Summary: In accordance with the PDD zoning approved in April 2004, the
applicant has submitted a Preliminary Plat for Section 6 of Castlegate
Subdivision that will allow for the development of 23 single family homes.
Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The Land Use Plan designates the area
as Single Family Residential Medium Density (3 -6 DU /acre). The Preliminary
Plat is in compliance with the Land Use Plan with a density of approximately
3 DU /acre.
The Preliminary Plat is also in compliance with the modified standards approved
with the rezoning. The plat includes modifications to standard street widths,
sidewalks, lot dimensions, and setbacks.
Sections 6 will take access from Green's Prairie Road, which is designated as a
minor arterial on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. An emergency access is planned
from the Amberley Place cul -de -sac and the future Phase 7 of the subdivision.
This subdivision is located in the Spring Creek Sanitary Sewer Impact Fee Area
97 -01. Impact Fees will be due at time of final plat. Current fees for this area
are $349.55 per Living Unit Equivalent (LUE).
Item Background: This area was annexed into the city in 1995. Soon after that,
the developer began discussions with the City for the Crowley Master
Development Plan, of which this tract is a part. The Plan was originally approved
by Council in 1997 and then modified in 1998. In 2000, Crowley teamed with
Wallace Phillips to develop the approximately 350 -acre portion of the property on
the west side of the future Hwy 40. The initial PDD rezoning request for 162
acres out of the 350 -acre, Castlegate Subdivision was quickly followed by a
Master Preliminary Plat for the 350 -acre area.
Related Advisory Board Recommendations: The Parks Board approved the
plan for parkland dedication for Castlegate in 2000.
