<br />Memo to Mayor and City CouncillP 98-5 <br />April 19, 1999 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A second access into this project will be a connection to Auburn Street <br />through Hillside Estates 4th. This street will connect to 193rd and also to a <br />proposed cuI de sac. There are 4 cuI de sacs proposed. <br /> <br />Lots <br /> <br />The lots in this plat range in size from about 14,000 square feet to 49,000 <br />square feet with an average lot size of 20,779 square feet. Some of the lot <br />lines should be adjusted so they better line up and eliminate odd corners. The <br />property within the NSP easement will be platted as outlots and will contain <br />a drainage pond and trail corridor. Most of the gas line easement on the east <br />boundary of the plat will also be an outlot and will contain a trail corridor. <br /> <br />There are 6 lots with double frontage and 3 lots with triple frontage. A <br />landscaped easement on 193rd should be provided for those double and triple <br />frontage lots. It appears from the grading plan that a 50' to 120' wide strip of <br />existing trees will be maintained along the north side of 193rd except for a <br />small area at the northeast corner of the cuI de sac and 193rd. This small area <br />will have to be reforested. A similar situation exists on the south side of <br />193rd. <br /> <br />. Grading, Drainage and Utilities <br /> <br />The City Engineer will address grading, drainage and utility issues in his <br />memo. I would like to point out the developer is proposing an unusual <br />location for a drainage pond; he is proposing to construct a drainage pond in <br />the right-of-way for 193rd at the east boundary of the plat. It might become <br />an issue when the time comes to put in a street and the residents loose what <br />they thought was a pond <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />For this project to proceed as proposed, the applicant is also requesting a <br />rezoning from R1e (Single Family Residential) to a PUD (Planned Unit <br />Development). The PUD allows for more flexibility is design of streets and <br />lots. All the lots will meet the minimum dimensional requirements of the <br />original zoning district (R1e). The PUD also allows for a comprehensive <br />review of the project. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Meetin{!s <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission spent several months reviewing this project. Most <br />of the issues related to grading and drainage and tree preservation. At the <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\P98-5CC.DOC <br />
