Memo to the Planning Commission Page 2 May 28, 1996 The developers have also provided a revised concept plan for the area • immediately north of Baldwin Street if it was to be cul-de-saced. Although this is a concept, staff has spent a little time reviewing the plan to see how it would fit in if Baldwin Street was to be cul-de-saced. The concept plan as prepared presents a few concerns with the reverse curves included on the street design, however, staff believes that the concept could be revised to satisfy these initial concerns. Lot Dimensions The proposed lots range in size from approximately 16,000 square feet up to 20,000 square feet in area. All four of the lots meet the minimum lot size requirement in the Rle zoning district, as well as the frontage requirement. Typically, staff looks at each residential lot to determine if a 50' x 50' house pad can be placed on each of the proposed lots. Lot 3 of the proposed plat has a drainage and utility easement along the rear of the lot that may have to be modified in order to accomplish a 50' building pad without having the building pad encroach into the drainage and utility easement. Cul-de-Sac Length City ordinance allows cul-de-sacs to be a maximum of 700' in length • measured from the centerline of each of the streets. The proposed cul-de-sac would be approximately 600' in length which falls within the guidelines of the ordinance. Street Name When the lots along Baldwin Street were originally platted, the street name, along with the addressing was done based on the concept plan of Baldwin Street extending further north. If Baldwin Street is now to become a cul-de- sac, the street name will have to change to Baldwin Court, which will require all of the residents along this street to change their address. The City will be responsible for notifying the police, fire and other 911 emergency response services of the change in address. However, the homeowners will have to take it upon themselves to change their address on their license and other personal items. If the plat is approved, staff will notify each of the residents of the change in the street name from Baldwin Street to Baldwin Court. Drainage and Utilities Please see the attached report from Terry Maurer, explaining the issues associated with utilities being extended further north to serve future phases of the Hillside Addition. 0 s:\planning\pc\p96-3.doc
