Both Heinke Road and Gina Drive are developed as substandard streets. Gina Drive is a narrow roadway with open ditches for drainage. Heinke Road is narrow with deep open ditches for drainage. At the intersection of Heinke Road and Gina Drive on the western corner there is an approved PD-R for an elderly housing project. The site was approved in mid- 2001 and has never developed. C.

Staff gave an overview of the proposed development along with the requested waivers and variances. Staff stated the site was located outside the city limits (adjacent to the city limits to the north and Saline County to the south). Staff noted additional items needed on the proposed site plan. Mr. Laha stated the zoning classifications and the abutting property owners to the north and east would be added. He stated his clients would be requesting waivers of street improvements to both Heinke Road and Gina Drive. He stated there were no improvements in the area and to improve Heinke Road adjacent to the site was not practical. There were no additional comments 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 the issues raised at the May 22, 2003 Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has indicated "lots" instead of "tracts" on the proposed plat. The applicant has also indicated a reduced platted building line on Lot 1 to conform to the building 3 June 12, 2003 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 8 (con't.) FILE NO.: S- 1387 footprint of the existing single-family structure. The applicant has also indicated the names of the owners of property located to the north and east of the proposed preliminary plat. The proposed plat lies on the northern boarder of the Pulaski/Saline County Line. The proposal is the subdivision of a tract owned by the Heirs of HO Martin. The children propose to subdivide the site into lots to allow for future development and/or sale. There are numerous waivers and variances required to allow the subdivision to develop. The subdivision will require a variance to allow the creation of a lot without public street frontage [Section 31-231]. Staff is supportive of this requested variance. The proposed Lot 3 will be served by a 50-foot access and utility easement which should allow for sufficient ingress and egress. The request will also require a variance to allow a reduced platted building line on proposed Lot 1. Staff is supportive of this request. The typical platted building line along an collector street is 30-feet [Section 31-256 (1)]. The lot is developed with a single-family home and the request is based on existing conditions. The proposed platted building line will be 30-feet with the exception of around the building footprint where the building line will be reduced to follow the structure. The proposed plat also requires Lot 1 to develop with an increased lot depth to width ratio. [Section 31-232(b)]. The Subdivision Ordinance requires no lot maybe developed with a ratio more than three times as deep as it is wide. Staff is supportive of this request as well. The applicant is requested a waiver of Master Street Plan requirements to Gina Drive. Staff would support of deferral of Master Street Plan requirements to Gina Drive. The road is a narrow road which dead ends just past this site. The entire road has developed in Saline County. The applicant is also requesting a waiver of Master Street Plan requirements to Heinke Road. Staff would support a deferral of these improvements to Heinke Road as well. The applicant is requesting a waiver of right-of-way dedication to Gina Drive. Staff is not supportive of this request. Staff feels if the subdivision is developed the right-of-way should be dedicated to the city. To Staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed request. Staff feels the proposed platting will have no adverse impact on the surrounding area. In summary: Staff recommends approval of a five (5) year deferral of Master Street Plan requirements for street improvements to Gina Drive.
