Analysis Comprehensive Plan The property is guided for urban residential development per the Comprehensive Plan. This land use designation includes areas guided for residential uses in areas that will be served by municipal sewer and water services.The Comprehensive Plan supports the proposed land use. Transportation/ Circulation The platted parcels will be along one new street,Johnson Street,which can be accessed from the north by the existing stubbed in street of 192nd Lane NW and from the south by 191st Lane NW,which will be constructed as part of this phase of development. Each parcel will have a single driveway with a maximum width of 30 feet,when measured at the property line. Sidewalks will be constructed by the applicant along the west side of Johnson Street and will connect with the existing walk along the north side of 192nd Lane NW. Grading/ Drainage The Engineering and Stormwater Departments continue to review the plans and are working with the applicant to ensure the proposal meets current city standards. In general, the grading and drainage plans will follow previous approvals with a stormwater pond in the northwest corner of the platted area. Landscaping The landscaping for the development will be consistent with previous plans, and includes two boulevard trees per lot,with additional trees allocated for corner parcels. Landscaping is also required along Twin Lakes Road to provide a vegetative buffer for the residents in that area, and will be approved based on the previous landscape plan.
