Analysis This application involves the platting of unplatted acreage with dedication of additional right-of-way and site plan review of a multiple building site. In his proposal, the applicant has outlined how he wishes to develop the property. Due the physical nature of the site, he has proposed a certain amount of grading and site work. Also, there are plans for extensive street improvements, along with one of the structures being a restaurant which is a high traffic generator. September 10, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 4 - Continued Staff has a few concerns. The applicant has mentioned verbally that he would like for the additional physical improvements to be optional. Staff prefers that the applicant make a commitment at this stage indicating whether or not he plans to do the improvements. Also, he needs to pinpoint which structure is to house a restaurant. This would enable staff to check the parking, even though it appears to be adequate. There are no plans for buffering the multifamily to the north. Staff recommends the usual requirement and that the 6' fence be placed on top of the grade. Staff suggests that notice be sent to neighboring property owners. The Fire Chief must approve all drives. E. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant and his engineer were present. He explained that development plans were not certain at this time so he needed flexibility in designating the restaurant uses. He felt that one or both of the smaller buildings on Reservoir Road would be a restaurant. Since he met the parking requirement, the Committee had no problem. He was advised to meet with Engineering and work out an agreement on the additional physical improvements and to notify property owners in the area. Water Works - A frontage charge of $2.50 per foot adjacent to Reservoir Road and an acreage charge of $150 per acre will apply. On -site fire lines and hydrants will be required: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present. There were no objectors.
