ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES:
PLANNING DISTRICT: Chenal - 19
CENSUS TRACT: 42.06
VARIANCES REQUESTED:
17 FT. NEW STREET: 1,020
Single Family Residences
1. Length of cul-de-sac (1,020 ft.)
A. P OPOSAL RE VEST•
This proposal consists of a preliminary plat including
17 single family lots with one point of access on a
1,000 foot cul-de-sac.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The existing terrain is intact with natural foliage. There
are streets in place adjacent to the subdivision plat
providing for the collector street system to serve the
neighborhood.
C. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
The proposed cul-de-sac length is excessive for minor
residential classification. A variance will be needed,
or else construct the street to residential standards.
D. ISSUES LEGAL TECHNICAL ❑ESIGN:
It appears that a cul-de-sac length waiver may be in order
due to the distance from the collector street serving the
neighborhood to the furthest point of the cul-de-sac. Also,
a waiver of pipe -steam for Lot 1 needs to be requested.
Southwestern Bell has requested several easements.

E. ANALYSIS•
The Planning staff finds little of consequence to comment
on in connection with this preliminary plat. The applicant
needs to provide a written request for a,pipe-steam lot
waiver and include Southwestern Bell's easements on the
plat.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject
to the resolution of the above items.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (DECEMBER 19, 1991)
The application was represented by Mr. Joe White, the engineer,
on the project. A short discussion of the preliminary plat
was held. There were two areas of involvement which received
attention, the waivers for pipe -steam lot and length of the
cul-de-sac. Jerry Gardner of Public Works indicated that minor
residence cul-de-sac over 750 feet long requires a waiver.
Mr. White responded that he would change the right-of-way
to 50 feet with 27 feet of pavement which would allow
1,000 feet of cul-de-sac and eliminate the need for a waiver.
He also agreed to provide a written request for the pipe -steam
lot waiver. Mr. White indicated that he would provide a
revised plat and written request for waiver before Planning
Commission meeting.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JANUARY 14, 1992)
The applicant was represented. After a brief discussion, it was
determined to place this item on the Consent Agenda for approval.
A motion was made to this effect. The motion passed by a vote of
10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
(It was noted for the record that this item will be submitted to
the Board of Directors for a waiver of subdivision ordinance to
allow pipe -steam lot.)
