E. - Continued site running west off Chicot Road primary residential and business course. Development Proposal and providing the access to the golf The owner is responding to a subdivision violation notice to her realtor. She desires to create 10 single family lots along the current street and provide improvements to collector standard. Engineering Comments Street improvements are required on Castle Valley Road. Contact Engineering Department for roadway requirements. Stormwater detention required on -site. Show on the drawing where the detention facilities will be located and also the calculations for these facilities. Analysis This plat is in good technical compliance with the ordinance. There are only two issues of substance. (1) The out parcels causing breaks in the plat boundary where illegal transfers have occurred but are in third party hands. Owners of these out parcels will not receive building permits until plat action is taken. (2) Sidewalks along Castle Valley Road were not specifically located by the City when the several previous plats were reviewed encompassing all of the original golf course lands. This applicant has requested a determination as to whether they will be assessed against the north side or his client on the south side. A specific waiver was not granted on the previous preliminary plat. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to resolving the sidewalk issue. We feel the development on the north side should provide sidewalks inasmuch as that owner has the larger body of development. As to the out parcels, staff feels they will be corrected and plats submitted as permits are requested. 7, 1987 IVISIONS - Continued Subdivision Committee Review The item was reviewed by the Commission. Staff explained its recommendation requiring the sidewalks on the north side of Castle Valley Road, which would free this developer from improvements on the south side of the road. Utilties - Additional easements required between Lots 3 and 4 and along the south side of Lots 14 and 15. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Ed Turbin represented Dillon Construction Company, the Developer of Whispering Pines Subdivision, and owner of land abutting the golf course. The three concerns he expressed were: (1) that the area should not be subdivided, (2) there should be a buffer between this proposed residential area and the golf course which he owns, and (3) since the golf course is possibly in the route of the proposed South Loop Expressway, the plat should be deferred until more specific details are available on the actual alignment. Mr. Turbin felt that this was important since three or four holes of the golf course would be affected. If the plat were to be approved, he felt that liability and access questions regarding lots in this Subdivision, which is next to his golf course, needed to be worked out. Engineering explained that there would probably be only a minor variation in the alignment in this area that would probably shift it only 1,600' to 1,700' to the south at the most; so there would be no great impact. The Commission felt that the real issue was a private one; -and it was not their duty at this point to assess the implications of the South Loop. A motion for approval was made and passed by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes, and 1 abstention.
