H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (May 15, 2019)
The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted little additional
information was needed. Public Works comments were presented. The applicant
indicated they would comply and would submit any needed revision to the
proposed plat. Comments from the other departments and reviewing agencies
were noted. The applicant was advised to respond to staff issues by May 22, 2019.
The committee forwarded the item to the full commission.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted responses to the issues raised at subdivision committee.
The driveway location has been shown off of the common access/service
easement. It will be shared with the lot adjacent to the east. No driveway will be
located on Stagecoach. A preliminary grading plan was submitted, showing the
proposed location for stormwater detention facilities. The applicant is requesting a
variance from the requirement to construct a sidewalk on their side of the common
access/service easement. The request is based on: the lack of sidewalks being
originally installed when the service road was constructed; the precedent of the
opposite side of the service road being fully developed and not having a sidewalk;
the applicant is proposing a sidewalk connection from the building to the sidewalk
on Stagecoach Road. Staff is supportive of that variance
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the revised preliminary plat subject to compliance
with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D and E and the staff
analysis in the agenda staff report.
Staff recommends approval of a variance from the sidewalk provision of Section
31-210 along the service drive.
