SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 9, 2017) Mr. Brian Dale and Mr. Bruce Henry were present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were additional items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated the request was for preliminary plat approval to allow the development of a zero lot line single-family subdivision. Staff questioned if the plat would include the allowance of accessory structures and if the buildable areas included the accessory structures or if they would be allowed as typically allowed within the R-2, Single-family Zoning District. Staff questioned if the development would include a subdivision identification sign. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the City's Stormwater Detention Ordinance would apply to the development of the property. Staff stated an evaluation should be conducted to determine the impact of this development on the downstream flooding conditions and provision should be included within the development to minimize flooding conditions. Staff stated any broken curb, gutter or sidewalk damaged within the public right of way should be repaired and/or replaced prior to the signing of the final plat. Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with R August 31, 2017 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO,: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1798 any questions or concerns.
