G. ANALYSIS•
Staff is concerned about development of this 151 lot three
phase subdivision with one access. The plat does reserve a
future secondary access by showing a stub street to the
north. However, it is unknown when the adjacent property
will develop and thus provide a secondary access to this
project.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVAL of the three phased preliminary plat as submitted.
The preliminary plat conforms to requirements for
preliminary plats as outlined in Section 31-89 of the
Subdivision Ordinance. Approval is contingent on staff
conditions in paragraphs D, E, F of this staff report.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(MARCH 13, 1997)
Pat McGetrick presented the project. Fifteen lots had been added
since the original submittal. The sole access point was also
changed. Staff indicated their concern with 150+ future homes
utilizing a single access point from Stagecoach Road. Larry
Jones requested that Mr. McGetrick also include the remainder
acreage north of the access road in the plat as required by the
Subdivision Ordinance.
The plat is to be deferred to the May 15, 1997 Planning
Commission meeting following a additional review by the
Subdivision Committee on April 24, 1997.
