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.
