STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes a preliminary plat on a 5.14 acre tract in

land to be used for right-of-way for the extension of
Champagnolle Dr. to the park site.
A. PROPOSAL RE VEST:
Planning Commission approval of a preliminary plat for a
neighborhood park site is requested. No variances from
applicable regulations are proposed.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The site is undeveloped and heavily wooded. The site lies
approximately 1,000 feet east of the present edge of the
Chenal Valley development, south of the proposed extension
of Champagnolle Dr.

parking area will be available to the public for a
turn -around, the temporary turn -around may not be

planning commission not make a temporary turn -around a
requirement if the park drive and parking lot will be
available to serve this purpose; otherwise, the
temporary turn -around should be required.
4) Sec. 31-202(d) requires the developer furnish an

E. ANALYSIS•
The plat furnished by the applicant is in the format of a
final plat, in stead of being in the required format for a
preliminary plat. This accounts for the majority of the
deficiencies in the information furnished on the plat. The
needed preliminary plat information and a drawing -in the
proper format must be furnished. Any waivers or variances
which the applicant wants to request must be noted.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed preliminary plat,
subject to the applicant furnishing the required information and
the drawing being provided with the required exhibits and
information. Staff recommends approval of the waiver of the
developer providing a temporary turn -around if the park drive
will be available for the public to use as a turn -around;
otherwise, the temporary turn -around should be provided.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (FEBRUARY 2, 1995)
Mr. Tim Daters, with White-Daters & Associates, the project
engineer, was present to represent the applicant. Mr. Daters
outlined the request, and staff presented the discussion outline
information. The Committee reviewed the plat and the discussion
outline, and asked Mr. Daters for his response to the written
comments. Mr. Daters indicated that a proper preliminary plat,
in lieu of the plat in the final plat format, would be submitted.
The committee discussed the need for a temporary turn -around at
the end of Champagnolle Dr., since there would be the possibility
of a gate to limit access to the park when the park is closed.
Mr. Daters indicated that he would discuss with the applicant
whether access to the park would be limited, or whether the park
drive could be used by the public for a turn -around. He would
then, depending on the applicant's instructions, report to the
Commission on whether a temporary turn -round would be needed, and
whether a waiver would be requested. The Committee forwarded the
proposal to the full Commission for the public hearing.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (FEBRUARY 21, 1995)
Staff reported that a revised site plan had been submitted which
provides for a space between the edge of the Champagnolle Dr.
pavement and the proposed park gate which will provide an
adequate space for vehicle turn -around. Staff recommended
approval of the requested wavier of a separate temporary turn-

around at the end of Champagnolle Dr. Staff reported that there
were deficiencies which remain: the drawing which has been
submitted in a final plat format in lieu of the preliminary plat
format, and required preliminary plat data and information has
not been supplied. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary
plat, subject to the applicant furnishing the required
preliminary plat information contained in the agenda "write-up".
Approval of the requested turn -around waiver and the preliminary
plat was included on the Consent Agenda for Approval and was
approved with the vote of 9 ayes, 0 nays,
