Planning Commission 3 Derrick Investment Co. July 23, 1996 • west on Highland Road, the land use pattern begins to change into detached single family homes. The Planning Commission may want to consider whether the 4 lots on Highland Road should be separated out from the planned unit development proposal or have that area included and available as additional open space for the development. As far as the single the family homes along 193rd Avenue, those lots will be facing existing single family homes in a predominately single family neighborhood. Therefore, the proposal to allow single family homes on the south side of 193rd to act as the buffer or transition into the townhouses is an appropriate land use selection. Preliminary Plat The preliminary plat includes approximately 17 acres of property that will be subdivided into 11 single family lots and 14 lots for each of the 4 plex units. All of the proposed single family lots meet the minimum lot size requirement of 10,000 square feet with 80 feet of frontage. The single family lots range in size from approximately 18,800 square feet to 11,200 square feet. All of the proposed lots will need to include appropriate drainage and utility easements along the rear, front, and side lot lines. • The 14 lots being created for the townhouse portion of the project divide the property up into 14 lots for each of the units. A 50 foot wide drainage and utility easement will follow the primary road through the townhouse site providing the opportunity to extend public utilities throughout this development. As Terry Maurer will discuss in his memo, a drainage and utility easement will have to continue further north to 193rd Avenue to facilitate the extension of utilities. Conditional Use Permit The conditional use permit application is the process to review the planned unit development request and associated site plan. For this particular development, the PUD will include the townhouse project only. Staff has conducted a full review of the development plans and would offer the following comments: • Roadways The internal roadway will be considered a private road; however, will fall within a public drainage and utility easement where all of the internal sewer, water, and storm sewer improvements will lie within the easement. This combination of a private road yet public utilities is the same practice • used on Country Crossing Townhomes as well as Meadowlark Townhomes.
