E. ANALYSIS:
There are only minor deficiencies in the submittal to be
addressed, and these may easily be completed. The site
plan, as revised and presented, is sufficiently detailed and
complete to meet the requirements of the regulations.
Subject to the approval of Item 2a, Ardoin Industrial
Subdivison Preliminary Plat; approval of the private drive
for access to the site; and, providing evidence of the
establishment of an access easement along the south boundary
of the site to provide the required legal access to the lot,
the site plan can be approved.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the site plan, subject to the
conditions noted.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(FEBRUARY 2, 1995)
Mr. Jim Osborne, representing the applicant, was present. The
applicant had requested a site plan review for a development to
include the property extending to S. Shackleford Rd., with the
tract being a single 4.4 acre lot. In the discussion on the
item, the applicant indicated that he would probably want to
divide the site at a later date, and sell or develop the S.
Shackleford Rd. frontage at that time. Staff pointed out that,
if a preliminary plat were proposed concurrent with the site plan
review, and development of the S. Shackleford Rd. fronting lot
were developed at a later date, the required Master Street Plan
improvements along S. Shackleford Rd. could be deferred until -the
second lot were developed. Mr. Osborne indicated that the
applicant would want to pursue this course and reported that
Mr. Pat McGetrick, the project engineer, would provide the
required preliminary plat and a revised site plan for review.
The Committee reviewed with Mr. Osborne the information presented
in the discussion outline, and Mr. Osborne responded that the
deficiencies would be addressed. The Committee forwarded the
site plan review item to the Commission for the public hearing.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(FEBRUARY 21, 1995)
Staff reported that there were no issues to resolve; that
Waterworks had approved the needed access to the site from their
private street. Staff recommended approval for the site plan,
subject to the conditions for approval of the preliminary plat
being met, and subject to a final plat for the Lot -2 being
