The applicant was present. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there
were few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the
proposed preliminary plat. Staff requested the applicant provide the proper City
certification on the proposed plat. Staff also requested the applicant label the front
setback and remove the side and rear setbacks labeled on the plat. Staff
requested the applicant provide the zoning classification within the plat area and
of abutting land areas.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff requested the applicant provide a
plan showing the future extensions to Benham Lane to determine if there was a
need for the installation of traffic calming devices on the street. Staff also stated
the City's Stormwater Detention Ordinance would apply to the future development
of the plat area. Staff stated a grading permit was required prior to any grading
activities on the site. Staff stated a hammerheads turn -around should be provided
at the end of the street. Staff stated turn -around should be designed to be at least
80-feet in length and the same width as the street. Staff stated if the turn -around
was temporary an 80-foot diameter gravel turnaround would be allowed.
Staff questioned if the development was requesting a variance from the Land
Alteration Ordinance to allow grading of the lots with the installation of the streets.
The applicant stated the request did not include a variance to allow grading of the
lots with the installation of the streets. He stated the lots would be graded when a
building permit for the home was issued.
