Item Summary: This item is for a Final Plat that consists of 15 lots on 3.03 acres. The property is zoned R -1 Single Family Residential. The plat is in preparation of a single family infill development. The property is surrounded by developed single family to the west, north, and east, and Southwest Parkway to the south.

Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The property is shown on the Land Use Plan as Single Family Medium Density (3 -6 dwelling units / acre) and the plat is in compliance with the plan (4.9 dwelling units / acre). The subdivision will access Southwest Parkway, which is a minor arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan.

The concerns related to the current traffic congestion on Southwest Parkway, the potential for student housing and aesthetics of the potential development. One area resident commented that she would like to see the existing wall along the property remain in place. THE GLADE FP (05 -121) SAM: This item is for a Final Plat for single - family infill development that consists of 15 lots on just over 3 acres. This plat includes a replat of Tract A of the Glade Section 12. The property is surrounded by developed single family to the west, north, and east, and Southwest Parkway to the south. This plat proposes a 5 foot right -of -way dedication on Southwest Parkway. LUP AERIAL: The plat is in compliance with the Land Use Plan, which shows this property for Single Family Medium Density. The subdivision will access Southwest Parkway, which is a minor arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed plat is in compliance with the Preliminary Plat that was approved by the Commission in March, the R -1 Single Family zoning, and all Subdivision Regulations. Staff recommends approval of the Plat as submitted. As stated in the staff report, I have received several inquiry, phone calls and several calls in opposition to replatting this property. The concerns related to the current traffic congestion on Southwest Parkway, the potential for student housing and aesthetics of the potential development. One area resident commented that she would like to see the existing wall along the property remain in place. Since the staff report, I have received 3 more phone calls from area residents, 2 in opposition and one in favor of the replat. The concerns from those in opposition were again the potential for student housing and neighborhood integrity (traffic and low end housing do not preserve the neighborhood integrity). Single Family Medium Density (3 -6 dwelling units / acre) and the plat is in compliance with the plan (4.9 dwelling units / acre).
