Memo to the Planning CommissionfP96-2 <br />June 25, 1996 <br /> <br />and Joplin. These trees are relatively healthy and consist of a variety of <br />conifers and deciduous trees. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The topography of the site has a gentle grade change of approximately 20 feet <br />rising from north (County Road No. 30) to the south (Riverview Drive). <br /> <br />Zoning/Lot Size <br /> <br />The present zoning is Rld (Single Family Residential) which requires a <br />minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet with 90 feet of lot frontage. All of the <br />lots in the proposed subdivision exceed the minimum standards outlined in <br />the City's ordinance. The average lot size within the plat is 15,750 square <br />feet, with the smallest lot being 14,028 square feet and the largest 35,882 <br />square feet. The lots adjacent to County Road No. 30 are on the average <br />about 156 feet in depth which provides an increased separation away from <br />the county road. This lot depth is comparable to the lots in Heritage Landing <br />which also abut County Road No. 30. The corner lots in the plat have <br />increased width dimension to accommodate the 35 foot ~ront yard building <br />setback which also applies to the side of the lot adjacent to the street. Given <br />the dimensions shown on the corner lots, an adequate building site can be <br />provided even with the increased setback requixements. <br /> <br />Transpo rtatio n/Access <br /> <br />Two streets extending west off of Joplin Street are proposed to serve access to <br />the proposed development. Each of the proposed streets align with existing <br />streets that have been constructed in the Heritage Landing development. <br />The proposed plat will also have a short cul-de-sac of approximately 300 feet <br />within the interior of the development. <br /> <br />All of the streets surrounding the proposed plat are currently existing rural <br />section streets. The City Engineer is currently in the process of preparing a <br />feasibility study to assess the costs associated with utilities extended to serve <br />the existing subdivisions towards the west and south, while at the same time <br />upgrading the existing streets to an urban section. The two streets that are <br />exnmined in the feasibility study are Macon Street and Riverview Drive. <br />Staff believes Joplin Street, which is currently a rural section, should be <br />upgraded along with this development to a urban section. Please refer to <br />Terry Maurer's memo for additional information on this subject. <br /> <br />Lots along Macon Street and Riverview Drive <br /> <br />The proposed lots fronting onto Macon and t~iverview Drive are required to <br />be serviced with city water and sewer. The most likely time this will occur is <br /> <br />s:\pl-nnin g\pc\p96-2x.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
