Memo to the Mayor and City Council/P 97-16 November 17, 1997 Page 2 The plat is bordered on the west by Custom Motors Salvage Yard and on the east by a vacant piece of property which has similar characteristics as the property proposed for the subdivision. Streets The subdivision is proposed to have two new roads accessing the parcel off of the Highway 10 service road. The plat also provides for interior streets to be extended both east and west to adjacent parcels for future connections as those properties develop. The Highway 10 service road is currently a rural section and will eventually need to be upgraded to an urban section to fit in with the area as it continues to develop. Staff is recommending the developer be responsible for upgrading that portion of the service road adjacent to the proposed plat. The ultimate design of this service road would be a 32' wide urban section with a pedestrian system along the north side and have the appropriate storm drainage system included in the street design (i.e., catch basins and storm sewer). The subject property is approximately a quarter mile west of where the frontage road improvements have terminated which are representative of the improvements that will eventually occur along the frontage road. Staff is recommending the developer provide some security to ensure the developer's cost for improving that road in the future is maintained. The timing for improving this frontage road may be discussed further along with the Guardian Angels proposal which will require looping of the watermain in either an easterly and westerly direction along U.S. Highway 10. If the watermain extends west, it may be an appropriate time to upgrade the frontage road along with that watermain improvement. Floodway and Floodfringe Both of these designations apply to the property. Staff has asked that the developer's surveyor identify and include on the proposed plat the edge of the floodway. This is the actual channel of the water course and is the area required to carry or store the regional flow (i.e. hundred year event). No building activity can occur within the floodway. The plans appear to respect the floodway, however, the boundary should be noted on the plans to verify this. The floodfringe is the area outside of the floodway. This area can be filled, however, the lowest floor elevation must be 879.1 and a ground elevation of 878.1 must extend for a minimum of 15 feet around all structures.
