Subdivision Ordinance Amendment Page 3 <br />July 24, 1995 <br />------------------------------------------------------ <br />• Page 10.25 -Section added regarding information required for <br />release of final plat. These items are typical requirements <br />developers should expect during the process. <br />• Page 10.32 -Planning Commission recommended change in the <br />definition of a cul-de-sac. <br />• Page 10.33 - A minimum width of 20 feet for pedestrian corridors <br />has been established. This would apply to sidewalks or trails that <br />act as short connections through residential subdivisions. <br />• Page 10.40 -Drainage and utility easements along side property <br />lines have been reduced in width from six feet to five feet. This <br />would make for a total drainage and utility easement along side <br />property lines of 10 feet, rather than the current 12 feet. <br />• Page 10.42 -Park dedication section is proposed to be amended <br />requiring trail construction as part of an approved subdivision. <br />Staff presented four options to the Planning Commission and Park <br />and Recreation Commission for their consideration (see Memo to <br />Park & Recreation, dated June 14, 1995). <br />• Page 10.43 -The Planning Commission has recommended that <br />sidewalks shall be provided on at least one side of every street in a <br />plat within the urban service area. The Park and Recreation <br />Commission has looked at this issue also, and recommended <br />sidewalks on both sides of every street with the exception of <br />sidewalks on one side of cul-de-sacs. Staff's version for sidewalk <br />requirements is to require sidewalks along arterial and collector <br />streets and use the phrase "may within subdivisions, as determined <br />by the City Council". This language would allow the City Council <br />to review each development on an individual basis and make the <br />determination whether sidewalks should be required on local <br />residential streets. Staff's version is included in the proposed <br />ordinance; however, it can be amended to reflect the <br />recommendations of the Park and Recreation or Planning <br />Commission if the Council desires. <br />Recommendation <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 95- , <br />amending the subdivision ordinance with the corrections and/or additions as <br />approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />s:council:oa94-7 <br />
