HomeMy WebLinkAboutCorrespondence Jennifer Reeves- Rock Pr. Road rural 'elopment issues.doc Page 1 Stephen-Anderson Development-notes Kelly,Natalie and Jane met with the following folks(Glenn,John W.,Eric Hurt,Olivia,Spencer, Harvey,Rox,Dale S.,Mike Mathews,Mark Smith)to discuss issues with this proposed development after the pre-development meeting. Here is a summary of what was discussed. • Our zoning recommendation is not affected by the utility issue or franchise issue. Staff will support the A-OR request on the non-floodplain portions. The wastewater design will be required as part of the platting process. • Water lines are to be constructed to city standards.Water utility issues will be discussed at a mtg.as required by Section 12 of the Subdivision regulations. • The developer needs to provide separate utility easements for BTU because the blanket easement will be abandoned.BTU can go in our PUEs with a franchise. • We will require full right-of-way for Rock Prairie as a major collector and improvements as such(from Greens Pr.to the southernmost edge of the subdivision).The developer can propose to build a rural collector,but additional ROW is required. We will most likely support that if a traffic analysis shows the development warrants no more than that section. • If no access is taken from Rock Pr.then the developer need only build that part of it that runs along the boundary of the development(not all the way to Greens Pr.). This northernmost portion would be built when that phase develops. Other options for joint participation in the road construction can be discussed,but the developer will be responsible for what the development demands. Several weeks later Kelly and Jane met with the developers again who had questions regarding platting exemption and whether Rock Pr.was in reality an off-site piece of infrastructure. So, Kelly and Jane spoke with Rox and Harvey regarding platting exemptions and thoroughfare compliance. Here's what we got: • Property is not exempt from platting as this middle portion is being divided out specifically for development and includes the dedication of a public improvement(that being ROW for Rock Pr.). Therefore the entire 600 acres has to be included in a master development plan. We will allow the primary access from Greens Prairie Road but the street size shall be determined based on a study using a proposed build-out scenario. Secondary access to Rock Prairie is encouraged. • The public's right to access along Rock Prairie is not in question and thus this is no different than an existing"right-of-way"such as Barron Rd..Therefore the additional 9 feet(plus or minus)of ROW for Rock Prairie is all that will be required. No construction will be required as this would be an off-site improvement. However the additional right-of-way will be required along the full length of the original 600 acre tract as the exemption does not apply and we would not recommend phasing such that the right-of-way is delayed until further development plans are made for the remainders.
