Memotothe Planning Commission/P 00-1 June 22,2000 Page 2 The preliminary plat also includes Back to the 50's, Deano's, and Dehn's All Season. As these properties are unplatted, platting would have been required if expansion, redevelopment, or connection to utilities would have occurred. The only property owner not participating at this time is the owner of Atlas Pet Foods (Mr. Szurek). He is not in a position financially to participate and sees no benefit to him to participate at this time. Analysis Existing Conditions The area to be platted includes seven buildings and vacant land. The vacant land totals approximately 50% of the area to be platted. The land is bounded by Highway 10 on the west, 173rd Avenue on the south, the railroad tracks on the east, and additional land on the north. In general, the land is flat, but slopes from northwest to southeast. Proposed Plat Configuration The Ultimate Plan consists of 17 lots ranging from one acre (minimum lot area in C3, Highway Commercial) to 2.58 acres in size (Deano's). Deano's desires to expand, so they are acquiring approximately one acre from Mr. Kruse and that is reflected in the size of Lot 1, Block 2, K & L Addition. Also included in the Ultimate Plan is right of way dedicated for Vance Street/174th Avenue. Additional right of way will be needed from Atlas Pet Food to complete this connection in the future. It is unknown at this time when that might occur. Phase 1 consists of eight lots and approximately 600 feet of Vance Street right of way. All of the proposed lots meet, on paper, the minimum lot area of one acre, with 100 feet of lot width. Upon closer examination, however, some of the lots have less than an acre of buildable area due to slope constraints or easement encroachments. These lots include Lot 1 and 4, Block 1. It is possible that in the future some lots will be combined. All of the vacant lots will meet the setback requirements. However, due to the location of existing buildings on existing unplatted lots, not all buildings meet the setback requirements. Wherever possible, however, the setbacks for existing buildings are met. Access Vance Street and 173rd Avenue will provide access to the new lots. Existing buildings like Back to the 50's and Deano's will continue to have their current access points. Vance Street will end in a cul-de-sac complying with the City requirements. Grading and Drainage The City Engineer has addressed these issues in his memo (attached). Phase 1 provides adequate ponding, however, the Ultimate Plan needs additional work to properly address the grading and drainage requirements of the City. A common drainage pond is proposed that would service all lots. Drainage calculations are also required to be submitted.
