P&Z Minutes January 18, 2001 Page 2 of 8 STAFF REPORT Item: Consideration of a Final Plat for Fairfield at Luther located on the south side of Luther Street West at FM 2818; approximately 20.2 acres. (00-71) Also known as the Williams Addition. Applicant: Paul Johnston for Fairfield Residential Staff Recommendations: Seeing that this submittal has met the requirements for a Final Plat, City staff recommends approval of this item Staff Member: Spencer Thompson, Development Services/ Engineering Item Summary: The subject property is located on Luther Street West at the intersection of Luther and Harvey Mitchell Parkway South (FM 2818). The property is currently zoned PDD-H. The 20+-acre development will consist of 17 multi-story apartment buildings, a leasing office and various amenities consisting of a total of 308 dwelling units. The developer will be upgrading Luther Street in front of the site. However, this would leave Luther Street with an unimproved section from this development to the Melrose Complex to the east. The developer has agreed to upgrade this "in-between" section, as well. Due to the topography of the area, this property does not drain to the City's gravity sewer system. The developer has agreed to build the necessary lift-station, which will be located across FM 2818. Wastewater from the development will gravity sewer to the lift- station and then be pumped to a manhole to the east on FM 2818. The newly constructed lift-station will serve not only this property, but also the entire west utility layout as discussed in a presentation to Council entitled "West Side Utilities Feasibility Study" dated January 27, 2000. This study looked at serving the City north of the airport along Raymond Stotzer Parkway. Details for the construction the lift station will be worked out by way of a development agreement between the City and the developer. Comprehensive Plan Considerations: The City's Thoroughfare Plan depicts Luther Street as a major collector. However, the street was not constructed as such at Marion Pugh. City staff decided to allow the Fairfield developers to improve Luther to the same standards as that set for the Melrose development. Parkland dedication shall be as a fee in lieu of land. The fee shall be $112 per dwelling unit and the park development fee shall be $233 per dwelling unit for a total of $345 per dwelling unit. J: I PZTEXTI PZ04097.
