G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(April 19, 2012)
Mr. Joe White of White-Daters and Associate was present representing the
request. Staff presented an overview of the development stating there were few
outstanding technical issues associated with the request. Staff requested
Mr. White provide a 10-foot no right of vehicular access easement along the front
of Lots 19 — 26 Block 69.
Public Works comments were discussed. Staff stated vegetation was to be
reestablished on disturbed areas within 21-days of completion of grading
activities. Staff stated repair of damage to the public and private streets due to
hauling operations for development of the subdivision would be repaired by the
developer. Staff stated the northern radius of the alley should be designed and
constructed to allow a turning radius for large vehicles such as a garbage truck.
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 the
comments raised at the April 19, 2012, Subdivision Committee meeting. The

ITEM NO.: C Cont. FILE NO.: S-867-PPPPPPP
The revised plan has included a radius for the alley to allow for turning of a large
vehicle such as a garbage truck.
The request is a revision to a previously approved preliminary plat for a portion of
Phase 1 BG of the Chenal Valley Subdivision. The request includes a variance to
allow a 15-foot front platted building line for Lots 27 and 28 Block 68 and a
20-foot front platted building line for Lots 19 — 26 Block 69. The applicant has
indicated due to the topography of the lots the reduced building line is necessary
to allow the new homes to be constructed.
The applicant proposes to serve Lots 19 — 26 Block 69 with an 18-foot rear
private drive. The applicant has indicated garbage collection will be off the
private drive. The plat includes the placement of a 10-foot no right of vehicle
access along these lots to eliminate the placement of driveways on Tournay
Circle. The applicant has indicated the grade of the drives if placed on Tournay
Circle would be so significant entering and exiting the driveways would be
difficult.
The request also includes a variance from the City's Land Alteration Ordinance to
allow advanced grading of Lots 23 — 29 Block 68. The applicant is requesting to
clear and grade a multi -lot area where construction of the new homes is not
imminent. The applicant has indicated all vegetation will be reestablished per the
City's Land Alteration Ordinance.
