Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 01-08 <br />July 16, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Zoning/Land Use <br /> <br />Rle (Single Family Residential, 12,000 square feet minimum lot area) / MR (Medium <br />Density Residential) <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />The subject property was brought into the Urban Service District in 2000, and is eligible to <br />receive sewer and water services. The property will be assessed fall of 2001 at $6,365.00 per <br />acre. <br /> <br />The revised proposed preliminary plat is comprised of 98 single-family lots on 36.84 acres. <br />There is a through-street (Street E) connecting County Road 12 to Fillmore Street. There is <br />a Street A connecting Street E to the south property line to provide a connection to vacant <br />developable land to the south. Street B and Street G also connect to adjacent properties and <br />there are four cul-de-sacs. <br /> <br />Outlots A and B are proposed to be dedicated for park and Outlot C is to be held until the <br />City revises its townhome ordinance. <br /> <br />The landscape plan indicates an additional 92 lots in townhome configuration (fourplexes). <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />The site has been cultivated for corn in recent years. It is lower than the adjacent roads and <br />experiences spring flooding in some areas, usually along County Road 12. The site is slightly <br />higher in the southwest corner. <br /> <br />Lots <br /> <br />The property is zoned Rle (Single Family), therefore the minimum lot area is 12,000 square <br />feet. The revised plat has no lots less than 12,000 square feet; four of the 98 lots measure <br />12,000 square feet, the rest are larger. The average lot area is 15,430 square feet with a net <br />density of 2.21 lots per acre. <br /> <br />Streets <br /> <br />The streets as proposed meet the minimum right-of-way requirement (60 feet) for a minor <br />street. The proposed right-of-way is 60 feet with a street design of 32 feet. The cul-de-sacs <br />also have the minimum 60 foot radius. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />The City Engineer has addressed utilities in his memo. All of the City Engineer's comments <br />will need to be complied with by the applicant. <br /> <br />S:kPLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\P01-08.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
