SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (June 6, 2018) Mr. Mark Redder and Mr. Jacob Chi were present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were a few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the proposed preliminary plat. Staff stated the property was currently located outside the city limits but would seek annexation to the City to allow for sewer service. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated right of way dedication to meet the Master Street Plan was required along Kanis Road. Staff stated at the time the property was annexed a grading permit would be required. Staff stated access to all the indicated tracts was required. Staff stated the stormwater detention ordinance would apply to the development of the property. Staff stated alteration of water courses would require approval from the Little Rock Corp of Engineers. Staff suggested the Valerie Court sidewalk be extended to connect with the Kanis Road sidewalk. 7 June 28, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont. FILE NO.: S- Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. ANALYSIS - The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the technical issues associated with the request. The applicant has indicated annexation will be completed prior to the applicant requesting city sewer service. The revised plat indicates the sidewalk from Valerie Court to connect with the Kanis Road sidewalk. The request is for preliminary plat approval to allow the subdivision of this 20.35-acre into 67 single-family residential lots. The lots are indicated with a minimum lot size of 0.16-acres and an average lot size of 0.18-acres. A portion of the lots are proposed with a lot width of 55-feet, which requires a variance from City ordinance. Section 36-254 states there shall be a minimum lot width of not less than 60-feet and a lot depth of not less than 100-feet. All lots are indicated with a minimum lot depth as typically required per the Ordinance. The minimum lot area per the Ordinance is 7,000 square feet. With the exception of Lots 16, 29, 33, 36, 45 and 52, all other lots are indicated with a lot area as typically required per the Ordinance. The proposed preliminary plat indicates the placement of a 20-foot front platted building line, 5-foot side yard setbacks and 25-foot rear yard setback. The Ordinance typically requires the placement of a 25-foot front yard setback, ten (10) percent of the lot width, not to exceed eight (8) feet for the side yard setbacks and a 25-foot rear yard setback. The preliminary plat includes three (3) open space tracts. The plan also indicates a play area and mail kiosk which will also be indicated as a tract. The tracts are proposed as common open space for recreational open space and/or detention. All access and maintenance of the tracts, detention storage areas and detention storage piping is the responsibility of the developer and/or the property owners association. The applicant is requesting a variance from the Land Alteration Ordinance to allow advanced grading of the site and the lots with the installation of the basic infrastructure. The applicant indicates the advanced grading is necessary to balance the site. June 28, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1816 infrastructure. The applicant indicates the advanced grading is necessary to balance the site. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking preliminary plat approval to allow the development of the site with single-family residential lots at a density of 3.34-units per acre. Although there are variances associated with the proposed preliminary plat staff does not feel the variances requested will significantly impact this development or the area. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff feels the subdivision as proposed is appropriate. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report. Staff recommends approval of the following variance requests: A variance from Section 31-256 and 36-254 to allow the front building setback to be reduced to 20-feet. 2.
