G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (June 24, 2015)
Mr. Thomas Pownell and Mr. Scott Hurley were present representing the request.
Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were few outstanding
technical issues in need of addressing related to the proposed preliminary plat.
Staff stated the plat included variances from the subdivision ordinance as well as
from the City's land alteration ordinance. Staff questioned if the development
would be completed in phases or in a single phase. Staff also requested the
applicant provide the draft bill of assurance for the subdivision.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the boundary street
ordinance would apply to the development of the property. Staff also stated the
City's stormwater detention ordinance would apply to the development of the
property. Staff stated streetlights were required prior to final platting. Staff stated
the new back of curb for Gordon Road should be 26-feet from the existing curb.
Staff stated new curb and gutter was required with the street construction.
Staff requested the applicant provide a letter from the Fire Marshal indicating the
ingress and egress was adequate to meet the State Fire Code.
Staff noted the comments from the various other agencies. There were no more
issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full
Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing a number
of the technical issues raised at the June 24, 2015, Subdivision Committee
meeting. The applicant has indicated the new lots will be developed in a single
phase. The applicant has also provided a draft bill of assurance for the proposed
subdivision.
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to allow the creation of
4.9 acres with 19 single-family residential lots. The lots are proposed with
an average lot size of 60-feet by 130-feet and a minimum lot size of 55-feet by
146-feet.
The lots include several variances from development standards per the
subdivision ordinance. The variances include lot widths, reduced setback and
double frontage lots. The applicant is seeking a variance from Section 31-232 to
allow reduced lot widths for Lots 6, 7, 8, 9 Block 5, Lots 2, 3, 4 Block 6 and a
variance to allow a reduced lot width for the corner lots, Lots 1 and 5 Block 6.
The ordinance would typically require a minimum lot width of 60-feet for interior
7

SUBDIVISION
ITEM NO.: 1 (Cont.

lots and 75-feet for corner lots. The interior lots are indicated at 55-feet and the
corner lots are indicated at 65-feet.
The applicant is seeking a variance from Section 31-256 to allow a reduced front
yard setback for Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Block 6 and a variance from Section 36-254
to allow a reduced rear yard setback for Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Block 6. The
ordinance would typically require the placement of a 25-foot front and rear yard
setback. The corner lots would typically require the placement of a 25-foot side
yard setback adjacent to the street. The side yard setback on the corner lots is
indicated at 15-feet. The front and rear yard setbacks are indicated at 25-feet.
The request includes a variance from Section 36-254 to allow a reduced side
yard setback for Lots 1 and 5 Block 6 (as indicated in the previous paragraph)
and a variance to allow a 5-foot side yard setback on all remaining side yards in
Blocks 5 and 6. The ordinance would typically require the side yard setback to
be a minimum of ten (10) percent of the lot width.
The plat indicates five (5) of the lots as double frontage lots. The request
includes a variance from Section 31-232(d) to allow double frontage lots for Lots
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Block 6. The applicant has indicated a ten (10) foot restrictive
access easement will be placed on the front or back of the lots at the time of final
platting.
The request also includes a variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to
allow grading of the entire site with the installation of the streets, water and
sewer. The applicant has indicated advanced grading is necessary to balance
the site.
Staff is supportive of the applicant's proposal and the request to allow the
development of the lots as proposed. The applicant has developed lots with
similar lot sizes and setbacks within the subdivision immediately to the west of
this site. Although there are variances associated with the request staff does not
feel the variances will adversely impact this development or the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda
staff report.

Mr. Scott Hurley addressed the Commission on behalf of the request. He requested to
yield his time to the opposition and to address any questions they may have.
Ms. Pat Strack addressed the Commission with concerns. She stated she was
representing the property owner in the first phase of the development. She stated the
residents were concerned with the development and questioned if the homes would be
attached single-family. She stated the residents felt the rock wall was an asset to the
area and requested the developer maintain the rock wall. She questioned the location
of the garages and if the new homes would have garages located along the street
entering the subdivision. She also requested the developer install additional
landscaping for the new homes. She questioned if any street widening would occur as
a result of the new homes. She stated the developer had not installed the water system
to water the subdivision entrance landscaping and the residents living near the entrance
were maintaining and watering the plants.
Mr. Hurley stated the homes would be detached single-family homes similar in
construction to the homes in the first phase. He stated efforts would be made to
maintain the rock wall but it would be difficult due to grading which would be required to
construct the new homes. He stated the direction of the new homes had not been
determined. He stated the street would be constructed to a residential street standard
as required by the City.
There was no further discussion. A motion was made to approve the request and the
associated variances. The motion carried by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
