Brown Proposal: To construct a multi-purpose recreational facility in four phases on 3.8 acres of land that is zoned "C -3"/"R-2." The proposed phases are: - A 4,800 square feet covered pavilion, playground area, and dedication of any necessary right-of-way on Mabelvale Cutoff; II - A 2,940 square feet swimming pool, associated 1,200 square feet bath house, access drive and 56 paved parking spaces; III -- A 8,000 square feet multi-purpose facility, 47 parking spaces and an in -lieu contribution to cover construction of Mabelvale Cutoff if the road has not been constructed by the City; IV - Enclosure of the outdoor pool. Ordinance Design Standards: 1. 1. Site Location Adjacent to a minor arterial (Mabelvale Cutoff). 2. Compatibility with Neighborhood The site is abutted by vacant land to the north and east, vacant and single family to the south (side yard relationship), and commercial to the west. The proposed use is abutted by mostly vacant wooded land and a commercial use. The Staff feels that the proposed use will be compatible with the surrounding area. February 21, 1989 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 11 3. On-site Drives and Parking The applicant is proposing one 40 foot wide access drive to Mabelvale Cutoff and a total of 103 paved parking spaces (56 in Phase II and 47 in Phase III). 4. Screening and Buffers The site plan contains landscaping. 5. Analysis The Staff feels that the proposed use will not have a negative impact on the surrounding area. The applicant has proposed providing an in -lieu contribution during Phase III construction to provide for the cost of one- half of the improvements for Mabelvale Cutoff to minor arterial standards unless the City has begun street construction. The Staff feels that this is an acceptable proposal. The applicant should, however, file a final plat for the entirety of their property dedicating the necessary right-of-way to meet the 45 foot Master Street Plan standards (one-half street equals 30 feet of pavement and a sidewalk). The applicant also needs to provide information on the maximum height of all the proposed structures. 6. City Engineering Comments (1) Dedicate additional right-of-way on Mabelvale Cutoff to meet minor arterial standards during Phase I; (2) Provide an in -lieu contribution for construction of Mabelvale Cutoff during Phase III unless construction is underway or completed by the City prior to the initiation of Phase III; (3) All right-of-way dedication and construction should be for the entire length of the applicant's properties; (4) Comply with Stormwater, Detention and Excavation Ordinance requirements; and February 21, 1989 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 11 (Continued) (5) Mabelvale Cutoff is a bond project whose design is slated for 1991 and whose construction is slated for 1995. 7.
