Memo to the Mayor and City Council/P 96-13 March 17, 1997 Page 5 Lot 24, Block 4 is a lot which may need to be revised based on the reconfiguration of Highland Road. Basically, the geometrics of Highland Road as it intersects with Proctor will need to be modified to include a 100 ft. tangent section prior to beginning the curve of the road. This may influence the develop ability of Lot 24, resulting in its elimination. Park & Recreation Commission Recommendation The Park & Rec Commission has discussed the proposed plat and have recommended the following: · Park dedication requirements be satisfied through the payment of cash. · Developer provide a sidewalk along Proctor Avenue. · Consideration be given to cul-de-sacing the road, leaving Lafayette Woods from the north into the proposed plat, in order to safe existing vegetation. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed plat at two separate pubhc hearings. The Planning Commission originally reviewed the plat on November 26th and postponed action on Good Value Home's request and asked the developer to address the following issues: · Status of 193rdAvenue · Tree preservation along the north · Improved traffic circulation · Sidewalk along Proctor Avenue · Status of Rush Street - utilities, common transportation/pedestrian connection with Lafayette Woods · Revise lot depths/gradingissues · Eliminate park area · Drainage issues and how they may affect adjacent properties At the February 25, 1997 public hearing, the Commission felt the developer did not address these issues adequately; therefore, recommended denying the preliminary plat request, based on the following findings: The proposed plat does not take into consideration the physical characteristics of the site such as topography and vegetation and incorporate these into the design. s:kcouncilkp96-13x.doc
