HISTORY: The property was rezoned from (TC} to (PD-SF-71
approximately one year ago.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road, which abuts this property on the south is
currently a two lane asphalt road contained in a variable
width riGht-of-way. Sandy Lake is projected to be a four
lane divided thoroughfare (C4D/6) within a 110 foot
right-of-way. Heartz Road, on the east, is a two lane road
in 60 foot of riGht-of-way (C2U}.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - vacant, City Hall: TC
South - developed single-family: 2F-9
East - developing sinGle-family, vacant: TC & SF-12
West - vacant: TC
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan shows this land as being developed
with Town Center uses.
ITEM 11
ANALYSIS: Because this plat reflects the plan shown on the PD zoning
application, staff has no objection to approving it subject
to conditions which insure the PD plan agreed to in public
hearing is followed. When the preliminary plat was
approved, the following comments were made:
"Two items which warrant comment relate to requirements for
additional valves/fire hydrants, and detailed review of
storm drainage plan inlet sizes, location, and hydraulics.
These issues will be specifically addressed at final plat
review."
These issues have been addressed. Additionally, a
screening wall easement needs to be shown adjacent to Sandy
Lake Road, a note needs to be placed on the final plat
document indicating no alley access is being provided to
Lots 1-8, Block C, and the previous conditions attached to
the 2 acre retention pond need inclusion here, i.e.,
constant level pond, fountain, landscaping around pond,
fencing, algae control program.
Finally, there is a 10 foot T.U. Electrical easement shown
on the north border of this plat, and adjacent to our new
Library site. Because preliminary library design indicates
orientation to the lake, and the fact that this easement
could contain above grade electrical transmission wires,
thus damaging aesthetic views of the lake, staff strongly
urges elimination of this easement, and direction to T.U.
Electric to determine another means to serve the TC area.
Staff would also recommend that T.U. Electric put all its
wires underground in and around this entire TC zoned area.
