A. PROPOSAL:
FT. NEW STREET: 0
The applicant proposes to subdivide Lot 1, Mid -Towne
Development into two (2) lots (Lots lA and 1B) to allow for
the construction of an office building on Lot 1A. The
property is currently zoned C-2 and the applicant has
submitted an application to downzone the property to 0-3
(Item 4.1. on this agenda). A lot split of this nature is
typically handled at staff -level, however, based on the
fact that the proposed replat is driving the rezoning to
0-3, staff has included the item on this agenda for
Planning Commission review. The proposed replat would not
conform to the ordinance standards for C-2 zoning (minimum
lot size of 5 acres).

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JUNE 1, 2000)
Frank Riggins was present, representing the application.
Staff briefly described the proposed replat, noting that
driveway locations needed to be shown.
Tad Borkowski, of Public Works, noted that Lot lA needed to
have shared access through Lot 1B, utilizing the existing
driveway from Shackleford West Blvd. He noted that access
easements needed to be shown on the replat drawing.
Mr. Riggins noted that he had no issues with the Planning
Staff or Public Works requirements.
After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the replat to
the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plat drawing to staff on
June 7, 2000. The applicant has made the additional notes
as requested by staff. The driveway location, description
of all monuments and source of title have been shown on the
revised plat. A 15 foot utility easement along the
property's south boundary has also been shown.
To staff's knowledge the only outstanding issue relates to
the proposed driveway locations. There is an existing
drive to Lot 1B and the applicant is proposing a separate
drive for Lot 1A. The applicant needs to request a
variance for the second proposed drive.

ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1216-A
Public Works supports only one (1) driveway for this
proposed development. Public Works notes that access to
Lot 1A must be taken by utilizing the existing drive for
Lot 1B with a cross -access easement, or the existing drive
for Lot 1B should be closed and a new shared drive between
Lots lA and 1B provided. This issue must be resolved.
Otherwise, there should be no outstanding issues associated
with the proposed replat. This proposal should have no
adverse effect on the general area.

the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the requirements as noted in paragraphs
D and E of this report.
