AREA: 38.7 acres NO. OF LOTS: 12 FT. OF NEW ST.: 3,050
ZONING: "I-2"
PROPOSED USES: Industrial
VARIANCE REQUESTED: None
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The land involved is located in what is generally an
industrial area. It is flat and consists of scattered
trees and vegetation. Portions of it lie in the
floodplain. Although it may have been filled, portions
of the site are below the acceptable floodplain
elevation. The floodway cuts across the property on
the northeast, affecting Lots 7 and 8, and possibly Lot
6. Improvements are needed on Patterson Avenue.
B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL:
The applicant is proposing to develop 38.7 acres into
12 lots for industrial use. Three thousand fifty feet
(3,0501) of new street is proposed. No variances have
been requested.
C. LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
None.

D. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. Improve Patterson Avenue to collector standards to
include underground drainage if required.
2. Floodway appears to encroach on Lots 7 and 8, show
floodway on plat.
E. ANALYSIS:
This proposal presents several concerns. Due to the
floodway encroachment on the lots in the northeastern
corner, the Parks Department is requesting an easement
over the floodway and an adequate building line from
the floodway. The next problem of significance is the
fact that a portion of the plat on the north is outside
the City's boundary. The applicant is required to
annex this area by Board of Directors policy.
Relative to site -design, staff has questions about the
unique shape of Lot 12. It is requested that the
applicant label the parcel that juts out to the south
as "Tract A" and note it as unbuildable on the plat and
Bill of Assurance. As for streets, the applicant is
requested to improve Patterson Avenue to one-half of a
collector standard. Freezer Road should be built to
industrial street standards with regular curb/gutter.
Since a new boundary street is being created adjacent
to Lots 6 through 8, the applicant is expected to
improve both sides of the street as required by
ordinance. As submitted, the plat did not contain the
50' building lines required in "I-2" areas. These
should be indicated internally as well as on the
exterior side.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.

setback area from the floodway;

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The developer's engineer was present to represent the issue
and made a brief statement. There were no objectors
present. A brief discussion by the Commission and staff
relative to the five items in the Committee recommendation
led to a motion to approve the preliminary plat as
recommended by the Subdivision Committee. The motion
included introduction of a correction on Item 1 under the
Committee recommendation to change the sentence to read:
Dedication of an easement over the floodway and the
establishment of a 25-foot platted building line parallel to
the floodway line. The motion passed by a vote of 10 ayes
and, 0 nays.
