Deferral of street improvements to Cantrell Road
A. PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes to replat three (3) lots of the Jay
Smith Addition (Lots 2, 3 and 5) into two (2) lots. The
proposed replat would create Lots 3R and 5R. The applicant
proposes to add a portion of Lot 5 to Lots 2/3 to create

McGetrick stated that he would like to provide a reduced
right-of-way dedication for Cantrell Road, with the
remainder of the right-of-way to be a dedicated easement.
He noted that this had been done with other developments
along this portion of Cantrell Road. He also noted that
the street improvements for Cantrell Road would be
constructed or an in -lieu contribution provided.
After the brief discussion, the Committee forwarded the
replat to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised replat drawing to staff
on November 20, 2000. The revised plat addresses most of
the issues as raised by staff at the Subdivision Committee
meeting. The applicant needs to submit a revised plat
noting the name and address of the property owner.
The applicant has shown the required right-of-way
dedication on the plat. The plat reflects a 45-foot right-
of-way dedication for Cantrell Road with a 10-foot utility
and sidewalk easement. Public Works is in agreement with
the proposed dedication.
As noted in paragraph A., the applicant is requesting a
deferral of street improvements to Cantrell Road until Lot
3R of this replat re -develops. Public Works supports the
deferral of street improvements for five (5) years or until
re -development of Lot 3R, Jay Smith Addition.
Otherwise, there should be no outstanding issues associated
with the replat. The proposed replat should have no
adverse effect on the general area.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed replat subject to
the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the requirements as noted in paragraphs D
and E of this report.
2. The applicant must submit a revised replat drawing with
the name and address of the property owner noted.
3. Staff supports the deferral of street improvements to
Cantrell Road for five (5) years or redevelopment of Lot
3R, whichever occurs first.
