Staff presented the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff requested Mr. Hamilton provide an access and utility easement for any landlocked parcels abutting the plat area. Mr. Hamilton questioned the width and location. Staff stated the location could be along the southern boundary and should be a minimum of 25-feet. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the typical right of way dedication per the City's Master Street Plan was 25-feet from centerline but the County had requested a dedication of 30-feet from centerline. Staff stated with the dedication as requested by the County this would create encroachments of existing structures into the right of way. Staff stated the City typically did not require dedications which created encroachments and suggested Mr. Hamilton contact County Planning concerning the right of way dedication. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing the issues raised at the January 25, 2012, Subdivision Committee meeting. Pulaski County has indicated the right of way dedication required will be 30-feet from centerline in all areas except the location the barn encroaches into the future right of way. In this 3 February 16, 2012 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 3 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1684 area the right of way will be dedicated to the face of the building. The revised plat also indicates the placement of a 25-foot access and utility easement along the southern boundary of proposed Lot 3 to serve the adjacent landlocked parcel. The applicant has provided a letter from the Crystal Valley Fire Department stating they do not have any concerns with the proposed subdivision. The request is a combination preliminary/final plat for the Dubose Subdivision. The plat includes 4.56 acres and is proposed with two lots. The lots are zoned R-2, Single-family. Prior to development of the lots the applicant will be required to provide a septic certification from the Arkansas Department of Health. There is a barn and accessory building on the proposed lots. With the right of way dedication the barn will have a zero front setback and the accessory building will have a 20-foot front setback. The applicant is requesting to maintain the structures as they presently exist. Should the structures be removed the new construction will comply with the typical front setback requirements. Staff is supportive of the request. The request is to allow a combination preliminary/final plat for this property. The minimum lot size proposed is 1.27 acres and the larger lot is indicated with 3.29 acres. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff does not feel the creation of the two (2) lots will impact the area.
