Memo to Planning Commission/P 98-5 February 23, 1999 Page 3 Swill have to be reforested. A similar situation exists on the south side of 193rd. Park and Recreation Corridors for trails be maintained within the within the NSP easement and the Northern Natural Gas easement on the east boundary of the plat. The applicant will be responsible for construction of the trails. A sidewalk is proposed for the north side of 193rd Grading, Drainage and Utilities The City Engineer will address grading, drainage and utility issues in his memo. I would like to point out the developer is proposing an unusual location for a drainage pond; he is proposing to construct a drainage pond in the right-of-way for 193rd at the east boundary of the plat. It might become an issue when the time comes to put in a street and the residents loose what they thought was a pond. An alternative, as presented by Commissioner Kuester, would be to locate the pond in a place where future lots are proposed. When the pond is no longer needed it could be filled and houses constructed. 0 Rezoning For this project to proceed as proposed, the applicant is also requesting a rezoning from Rle (Single Family Residential) to a PUD (Planned Unit Development). The PUD allows for more flexibility is design of streets and lots. All the lots will meet the minimum dimensional requirements of the original zoning district (Rle). The PUD also allows for a comprehensive review of the project. Recommendation It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the rezoning request from Rle (Single Family Residential) to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) based on the following findings: 1. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ALLOWS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY. 2. THE PROPOSED REZONING WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. III 3. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ALLOWS FOR FLEXIBILITY IN SUBDIVISION DESIGN. s:\planning\scott\p98-5fpc.doc
