The project includes a private drive that provides access to all six parcels, which are generally 60-feet wide. Additional parking, beyond the driveway areas, is provided on one side of the private drive. The homes will be a minimum of 10-feet apart and maintenance will be addressed with a Homeowners Association (HOA). Public Utilities All six homes will be connected to city sewer and water. However, the sewer service requires a private lift station to convey the effluent to the city's system. The city will not maintain this lift station, and the development will connect to the public system near the intersection of 177th Ave and Fillmore Street. The water main is located beneath the trail on the west side of Fillmore Street and the developer is proposing a new service line for each home, which connects directly to the main. The water main providing service to this phase was installed by the developer with the first phase of this subdivision, but ERMU reimbursed the developer as the extension was for a looped service at the time. ERMU has requested reimbursement for this cost as the extension is now providing service for this phase. These types of utility services are generally installed at the developer's expense. Ordinance Amendment The proposed ordinance amendment will take the place of a PUD agreement. The standards of the previous PUD agreement will be codified into city ordinances, providing more clarity and transparency for the public. The only changes proposed are for the inclusion of the third phase and memorializing the private street and utility items. Preliminary Plat City ordinance section 30-375 outlines the required findings for approval of a Preliminary Plat. 1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations (article VI of this chapter) and conforms in all respects with all requirements of this Code, including the zoning regulations and this article. The property was rezoned to Planned Unit Development with the first phases of this subdivision. With the PUD designation, the development will follow its own development standards, as approved in the ordinance amendment for the PUD. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and specialized city, county, and regional plans, including, but not limited to, the city's comprehensive development plan. As the property was rezoned to PUD and is guided for residential uses by the Comprehensive Plan, the subdivision is consistent with all applicable plans. 3. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and drainage, are suitable for the type and density of development and uses contemplated. The physical characteristics of the site are suitable for the type and density of development and uses contemplated. 4. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation, erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements otherwise required in this article. The subdivision will include infrastructure to meet city requirements. The sanitary service and required lift station will be privately owned and maintained, but will become public after making the connection to existing services. The water service also requires reimbursement for previous work paid for by ERMU, but that now serves the current development phase. Finally, additional permits required to comply with erosion control standards are required and will be secured prior to building permit issuance. These concerns have been included as conditions of approval. 5. The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage. Page 491 of 637
