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