each of the proposed lots.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the abutting streets would
require construction to Master Street Plan standards at the time of final platting.
Staff also stated a right turn lane would be required at the intersection of Kanis
and Kirby Roads. Staff stated future drives along Kanis Road would be required
to align with Woodlands Edge Trail. Staff noted streetlights would be required

H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the
issues raised at the July 26, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has provided the source of title of the landowner, the building setback
and the total lot area for each of the proposed lots. The site plan indicates a right
turn lane will be added at the intersection of Kanis and Kirby Roads and future
drives will align with Woodlands Trails.
The revised plat indicates the placement of a 25-foot front building line abutting
the two streets as typically required by the proposed zoning classifications. A
note indicates the remaining setbacks will comply with the proposed zoning
classification.
The plat is proposed with Lot 1 containing 3.49 acres and Lot 2 containing
.97 acres. Lot 1 is proposed for C-3, General Commercial District zoning and
Lot 2 with 0-3, General Office District zoning through a rezoning request as a
separate item on this agenda (Z-6245-B). Per the proposed zoning classification
the minimum lot size allowed is 14,000 square feet or 0.32 acres. The lot sizes
proposed are more than adequate to meet the typical minimum lot size for the
proposed zoning.
Staff is supportive of the proposed preliminary plat application. The plat as
proposed follows the proposed zoning lines and fully complies with typical
minimum ordinance requirements for the existing and proposed zoning
classification. Staffs support of the proposed preliminary plat should not be
construed as support for the proposed rezoning or the Future Land Use Plan
amendment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat subject to
compliance with the comment and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and
F of the agenda staff report.
