Item No. 3 - Continued
2. Those streets with half street improvements must
be constructed to carry two-way traffic safely.
3. Curve radius on Pride Valley Road in the vicinity
of Pride Valley Court does not meet collector
standards.
E. Analysis
No major problems of design were found. The major
issue involves the floodway and location of portions of
the plat in the Master Parks Plan. The floodplain and
the established centerline of the floodway should be
identified and the dedication of a 350' corridor
centered on the floodway should be dedicated to the
Parks Department.
The applicant should comply with the Ordinance
requirement for the construction of both sides of
boundary streets when they are created.
F. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
G. Subdivision Committee Review
The applicant was present. Staff pointed out that the
portion of the project was outside of the City's
Urbanization Line. The Committee felt that this should
not be an issue in this instance. The applicant agreed
to: (1) file for annexation of portions outside of the
City; (2) provide boundary street improvements as
needed on Huckleberry and Pride Valley and/or provide
documentation as to what the neighboring church has
committed to provide; and (3) provide parkland to be
dedicated.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. A
motion for approval, subject to comments made, was made and
passed by a vote of: 9 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 open.
