G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (October 20, 2005)
Mr. Pat McGetrick was present representing the request. Staff presented an
overview of the proposed development indicating there were additional items
necessary to complete the review process. Staff requested the applicant provide
the names of owners of the plat area and the source of title of the landowner.
Staff also requested the applicant provide the names of owners of unplatted
tracts abutting the plat area and the names of owners of any landlocked parcels.
Staff requested the applicant provide the source of water and the means of
wastewater disposal for the plat area.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff questioned if the plat would be
final platted based on market demand and if the required street improvements
would be left for the final platting of Lot 2. Mr. McGetrick indicated only Lot 1
would be final platted at the current time. Staff also requested the applicant
provide a 10-foot drainage easement between the proposed lots.
Pulaski County comments were addressed. Staff requested the applicant
provide the certificate of approval for Pulaski County on the proposed preliminary
plat. Staff also requested the applicant provide the drainage and flood control
plan for the proposed subdivision.
Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies
suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional clarification.
There was no further discussion of the item. 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 most of the
issues raised at the October 20, 2005, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has indicated the names of owners of the plat area, the source of title of
0

ITEM NO.: 8 Cont. FILE NO.: S-1507
the landowner, the names of owners of unplatted tracts abutting the plat area and
the source of water and means of wastewater disposal. The applicant has
indicated all necessary permits and perk test for the proposed septic system will
be acquired prior to construction of any buildings on the site.
The site is located outside the City Limits but within the City's Extraterritorial
Planning Jurisdiction. Per the Subdivision Ordinance any development not
proposing to connect to the City's wastewater treatment system is to provide
approval of the disposal method. The applicant has not provided staff with the
required sanitary sewer disposal proposed for the site as required by Section
31-400. The applicant is to provide approval from the state department with
authority to approve septic tanks installations, or other individual wastewater
disposal methods. In the past staff has not recommended an application move
forward without the required approval for the wastewater collection system.
The applicant is proposing the subdivision of this 3.462 acre tract into two (2)
lots. The applicant has indicated proposed Lot 1 as 1.197 acres and proposed
Lot 2 as 2.265 acres. The applicant has indicated a 100-foot building setback
adjacent to Highway 10 and a 25-foot building setback adjacent to Morgan
Cemetery Road. The applicant is requesting to phase the final platting of the
proposed lots. The applicant has indicated these lots will be final platted based
on market demand.
The applicant's indicated building line adjacent to Morgan Cemetery is 25-feet.
Morgan Cemetery Road is classified on the Master Street Plan as a collector
street which would typically require a 30-foot platted building setback for
properties zoned residentially.
The applicant has indicated a 45-foot access and drainage easement along the
property line of proposed Lots 1 and 2. The applicant has also indicated
dedication of right-of-way per the Master Street Plan for the two abutting
roadways, Highway 10 and Morgan Cemetery Road.
Staff is not supportive of the applicant's request. The proposed preliminary plat
does not comply with the minimum requirements of the Highway 10 Design
Overlay District with regard to lot size. The required septic system approval from
the state agency regulating installation has not been provided. Staff feels the
integrity of the Design Overlay should be maintained for the proposed platting of
the tract.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial of the request.
