BACKGROUND:
On October 30, 1997 the Planning Commission approved the
preliminary plat for Northwest Territory Subdivision. The
property owner received plat approval for this subdivision
several years earlier, but let the preliminary plat expire.
Since that time, revised preliminary plats have been approved
which further subdivided Lot 9 (9 and 9A) and Lot 4 (4A-C). As
of this date, Lots 1, 2, 4A, 4B, 4C and 9A have been final
platted.
A. PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes to revise the previously approved
preliminary plat by removing the collector street as shown

originally placed on the plat to serve a future single

family residential subdivision to the north. The applicant
notes that when this single family area develops, it will
be accessed directly from Cantrell Road to the east.
Removal of the collector street is the only proposed change
to the previously approved preliminary plat.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
There is a mini -warehouse development on Lots 1-2, a
multifamily development on Lot 4A and a convenience store
on Lot 9A. The remainder of the subdivision is undeveloped
and wooded. A future Easter Seals residential project is
planned for Lots 4B-C.
The property to the north is wooded and undeveloped, with
Highway 10 bordering the plat to the south and Highway 300
to the west. There is a church located at the northeast
corner of Highways 10 and 300 and an AP&L sub -station to
the east along the north side of Highway 10.

G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
(MARCH 29, 2001)
Tim Daters was present, representing the application.
Staff briefly described the revised preliminary plat.
Access to the single-family property to the north was
briefly discussed. Mr. Daters noted that it was the
property owner's intent to have access to this future
single family area from the east, directly from Cantrell
Road. Bob Turner, Director of Public Works, noted support
for removing the collector street from the preliminary
plat.
There being no further issues for discussion, the Committee
forwarded the revised preliminary plat to the full
Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
As noted in paragraph A., the only proposed change to the
previously approved preliminary plat is the removal of the
future collector street between Lots 4C and 5. This street
was originally placed on the plat to provide access to a
future single family residential subdivision on abutting
property to the north. The property owner has since

decided to access the future residential subdivision
directly from Cantrell Road to the east.
To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues
associated with the revised preliminary plat. Public Works
has noted support for removal of the street as previously
shown between Lots 4C and 5.
