SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (February 19, 2004) Mr. Mike Dedman was present representing the request. Staff gave an overview of the proposed development indicating to Mr. Dedman there were questions concerning the proposed preliminary plat. Staff questioned the grading easement located to the south. Mr. Dedman stated this was a previous 3 March 11, 2004 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont. FILE NO.: S-867-EEEEF agreement with Chenal Properties, which was abandoned when the city did not agree to allow off -site grading. Staff recommended the easement be removed. Staff also questioned if there was to be a phasing plan. Mr. Dedman stated the lots would be final platted all at one time. Staff requested the certificates of preliminary platting be included on the proposed preliminary plat. Mr. Dedman stated this issue would be corrected. The proposed revision to the Wal-Mart site was discussed with the proposed preliminary plat. Staff noted there were few outstanding issues related to this item and requested notification of property owners as required by the Planning Commission By -Laws. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat to staff addressing most of the issues raised at the February 19, 2004 Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has removed the grading easement located to the south of the property and has included the certificates of preliminary platting. The applicant has also indicated lots will be developed in one phase. Staff is supportive of the proposed request. The proposed lot sizes meet the minimum requirements of the Subdivision Ordinances and the applicant has indicated the required setbacks per the zoning ordinance. The preliminary plat was approved for eight (8) lots. Staff feels the reduced number of lots will not have any adverse impact on the adjoining properties. In addition, most of the proposed plat area falls within the area zoned C-3, with conditions, which requires a site plan review of the proposed development prior to receiving a building permit. Proposed Lot 4 is a separate item on this agenda (Item No. 17 — File No. Z-5097- F); a request for a site plan review for a Murphy Oil Fueling Station. The applicant will be required to submit for a site plan review prior to the development of proposed Lot 3 if the condition of site plan review remains on the zoning as it currently exist. To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed request. The proposed lots meet with minimum requirements with regard to minimum lot size, front yard building line and minimum lot widths. I.
