SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (September 25, 2003) Mr. Joe White and Mr. Doug McNeil were present representing the request. Staff stated the applicant had filed two preliminary plats for the same property. Staff stated this would allow the developer options when the actual development began. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff noted sidewalks were required along Bristol Lane on the first two lots. Mr. White stated he was requesting Bristol Lane be classified as a minor residential street. Staff stated the criteria to be classified, as a minor residential street was no more than 35 lots and 750 linear feet. Staff stated Bristol Lane met the criteria. Staff questioned if 3 October 16, 2003 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1042-DD Waterford Lane would meet the length criteria when the street was extended to the north. Mr. White stated that the developer first proposed a cul-de-sac but the developer was being a good neighbor and allowing the street to be extended to the north to access the adjoining property. Mr. White stated property had access to Rahling Road but the terrain was too steep to allow a desirable access. Staff suggested a deferral rather than a waiver of sidewalks would be more preferable. The proposed Open Space tract was discussed at length. Staff questioned who would be responsible for maintenance of the open space. Mr. McNeil stated the Property Owners Association would be responsible for maintenance of this area as well as the other designated open space areas. Staff stated the tract would be required to have access for maintenance and fire protection. Mr. White stated he would indicate access to the open space area on the revised plan. There being no further items for discussion, 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 September 25, 2003, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has requested a variance to allow a reduced platted building line along Wellington Village Road. The ordinance requires a 30-foot platted building line adjacent to a collector street. The applicant is proposing the placement of a 25- foot platted building line. Staff is supportive of the requested reduced building line. The area to the east has been preliminary platted with a similar building line and staff feels continuity will add to the overall development. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Master Street Plan to allow Bristol Lane to be constructed to minor residential street standard. Staff is supportive of this request. The applicant has indicated the street will be approximately 820 feet in length and end in a cul-de-sac. The applicant has also requested Waterford Lane be constructed to minor residential street standard. The proposed street length meets the minimum criteria. The applicant is proposing the subdivision of this 25-acre tract into 57 single- family lots. The lots will average 85-feet by 130-feet or 11,050 square feet. The applicant has indicated 4070 linear feet of new street will be constructed with the development. The proposed plat indicates the development will be constructed in one phase. To staffs knowledge there are no other outstanding issues associated with the proposed request. The proposed development will be constructed at 2.22 units per acre. Staff feels the proposed subdivision should have minimal to no adverse impact on the surrounding area.
