Memo to Planning Commissiorr/P 01-20 October 23, 2001 Page 2 Existing Conditions The site is mostly flat with a small stand of trees located along the east property line near the center of the site. The is an existing single family house on the property that will be located on one of the newly created lots. The property to the south is zoned I2 and is used for outdoor storage by Hopkins Pipe company. The property to the west is zoned I2, owned by the City and is used by the sewage treatment plant to spread sludge. The property to the north is zoned Rla and is used as a single family residence. To the east is Jarvis street and a parcel that contains Kober Excavating. Lot and Street Layout All of the lots meet the dimensional and 1 acre minimum lot size requirements of the I2 zoning district. Both Buchanan Street and 161st Avenue will be public streets and are designed to city specifications. Buchanan Street is the loop road through the project and 161~ Avenue will end in a cul de sac. Outlots A and B can be platted in the future to make buildable lots or combined with abutting properties. Grading, Drainage and Utilities The property is outside the urban service area and is not served by municipal sewer or water. Each lot will have is own on site well and septic system. Because the property to the west is used by the city to spread sludge, a 200 foot separation distance must be maintained between the wells and the area used to spread the sludge. The wells on the lots located along the east boundary of the plat will have to be located as close to Adams Street as possible. Grading, drainage and utility issues are also outlined in the City Engineer's memo. Parks and Recreation The Park and Recreation Commission recommended cash to meet the park dedication requirements for this plat. Planning Commission Meeting At the Planning Commission meeting held on October 23rd two residents spoke at the public hearing. One neighbor to the north, John Lenz, asked about screening and expressed some concern about the water table rising. It was explained that screening is required and will be addressed as each lot is developed and the any additional stormwater runoff resulting from this development will be handled on site. Davis Sharpell, who owns property at the corner of Jarvis and the proposed 161st Avenue, also asked about drainage. Recommendation The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve the preliminary plat request for Cascade Industrial Park with the following conditions. Document3
