VARIANCES RE UESTED:
1. Private street system with entrance gate.
A. PROPOSAL_/R_ EOUEST:
This proposal consists of a preliminary plat filing for eight
large parcels adjacent to the golf course in Chenal Valley.
The development format is one of large lots on a private Loop
Street with a single control entry point to service the
neighborhood.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The existing land area is undisturbed at this time with
natural foliage in place. There are collector streets in
place adjacent to the subdivision plat on one side, and
Chenal Golf course on the other side.
C. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
Proposed Loop Street is too long for minor residential
classification without a variance. Delete the round island
from the Chenal Club Blvd. intersection. Preliminary plat
should show a proposed street name for any new streets.
D. ISSUES LEGAL TECHNICAL DESIGN:
1) The use and maintenance of several islands within the
street right-of-way should be clarified and/or their
placement within the Bill of Assurance assured.

2) Tract called "Chenal Properties Marketing Center", a
border parcel to this plat, should be included in this
plat.
3) Southwestern Bell Telephone has requested several
easements.
E. ANALYSIS•
The staff review of this preliminary plat indicates few
design issues. The points made in Item D above are the
primary concerns of the Staff and Engineering Department.
The street system to serve the area of 45 acres is an
important element in this development, which needs to meet
city standards, even though it is a private roadway. We
suggest 27 feet of pavement instead of 25 feet. We feel it
better would serve this neighborhood as well as provide
better access to emergency vehicles.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject
to the resolution of the items pointed out above.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(DECEMBER 19, 1991)

requirements. The applicant agreed to revise the preliminary
plat and submit it for staff review before the Planning
Commission meeting.
