FILE NO.: S-170-000 G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (April 1, 2004) Mr. Graham was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the proposed request indicating the preliminary plat was to add an additional lot, which was currently a part of the golf course. Staff indicated the lot was currently zoned R-2, Single-family and R-4, Two-family district. Staff noted single-family was an allowable use in each of the zoning districts. Staff noted the proposed lot did comply with the minimum requirements of the subdivision ordinance. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing the issues raised at the April 1, 2004 Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has indicated a forty -foot building line adjacent to Valley Club Circle, consistent with the building line on the adjoining lots located to the south. The proposed building line is more than adequate to meet the minimum required building line. The typical front building line for a residential lot located on a residential street would be twenty-five feet. The applicant has requested a waiver of sidewalk placement along Valley Club Circle. Staff is supportive of this request. Staff feels since sidewalks are not in place along Valley Club Circle there is no need for the placement of a sidewalk adjacent to this lot. The subdivision is served by a series of trails and walks through and around the golf course. To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed request. Staff feels if the proposed plat is developed as indicated, there will be minimal impact on the adjoining properties and as stated the proposed plat complies with the minimum requirements of the subdivision ordinance with regard to the minimum lot size, the minimum lot width and the 3 April 22, 2004 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont.
