Rxistin2 Conditions An undeveloped acreage tract on rolling terrain with frontage on two arterial streets. April 7, 1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item 9 - Continued B. Develo ment Proposal To develop seven office lots and two tracts on 6.33 acres. The lots are sized from .5 acres to .8 acres. Tract A is defined as a water retention tract and unbuildable. Tract B is not clearly described as to its usage. The plat is accessed by a variable width private street ranging from 40' to 80' in right-of-way with 20' of pavement. The project engineer referenced in his cover letter a site plat for the buildings to be submitted at a later date. Staff has not reviewed such a plan. This information is not in the file at this time. It is understood that later review by the Planning Commission is authorized by the ordinance. C. Engineering Comments The Traffic Engineer needs to approve all access points and roadway configuration beside the platted area. Please contact the Traffic Engineer to get approval of the hammerhead area between Lots 4 and 5. Boundary street improvements and right-of-way dedication are required on Napa Valley and Hinson Roads. Both Hinson and Napa Valley require a 100' right-of-way. Therefore, 50' from centerline of right-of-way dedication is required. Hinson is a five -lane cross section. Napa Valley is a four -lane cross section. D. Analysis The Planning staff review of this plat reveals some 20 deficiencies. The one significant failure is to 110-2" District minimum lot size of two acres. This is not negotiable by the Planning Commission. Waivers of minimum lot size cannot be granted per Section 37-10 of the Subdivision Ordinance. The remaining items in our review while not nearly as serious indicate a need for deferral of the plat for further design. Some of these issues are access on Napa Valley at a safe site distance, width of the pavement at 20' when 36' is typically required, and parking designed into a private street system. E. Staff Recommendation Withdrawal of the plat at the Committee level with a recommendation for redesign and for complete filing. April 7,'1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item 9 - Continued F. Subdivision Committee Review The applicant decided to withdraw the item as requested by the staff and resubmit as a long -form PUD. Utilities - Additional easements required for 16" existing sewer for main along the north side of Lot 7 in Tract A. Water main extension, plus on -site fire protection required. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: A motion for withdrawal was made and passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes, and 0 absent.
