conditions:
1. a property owner's agreement to maintain landscaping is
required;
2. utility layout needs to be provided;

SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - non-conforming mobile homes;
South - developing commercial; "C"
F.a.~t - developed post office; "C"
West - developing single-family; SF-12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Plan shows retail as the most appropriate use here.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed lot is in a wooded area containing a number of large trees. The final plat shows
twenty-two trees on the lot ranging in size from 6" caliper to 24" caliper. The applicant has
submitted a landscape plan which shows the apparent proposed removal of 14 trees, ranging in
size from 8" caliper to 24" caliper. None are located where the proposed building is to go. The
plan indicates that all are to be removed for the purpose of installing pavement.
Item 7
Landscape provided in conformance with the streetscape plan is the subject of review at this time.
Nevertheless, the information provided raises a concern about the likelihood of future tree
preservation. Similarly, the submission at this time of plans for ultimate site improvement is for
purposes of parking review and fee calculation. However, the proposed site development, as
shown, does not comply with a requirement of the zoning ordinance relative to the provision of
a 10'-wide landscaped area between vehicular use areas and the side property line.
Consequently, the applicant is likely to seek a variance of this provision from the Board of
Adjustment. This will provide a public forum in which citizens may express their concerns about
tree preservation.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff finds that the final plat submission documents comply with the requirements of the
subdivision ordinance, including the streetscape plan, and with the conditions of the previous
approval of the preliminary plat, but do not comply with the provisions of 34-1-8, paragraph B,
of the zoning ordinance. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to the
applicant requesting and receiving a variance of these provisions by the Board of Adjustment.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the final plat
2) Deny the final plat
3) Modify the final plat and forward to City Council

Developer Information Comments:
As per the agreement when the preliminary plat of the Butch Addition was approved, prior
to the second user going in on lots 1-4, the left turn lane will be required to be constructed.
It appears as though your property is the second user; therefore, prior to obtaining
approvals to move forward on your construction, the left turn lane will need to be
constructed. The left turn lane will be on the south side of your property. Therefore, along
with the platting of this property, the additional easements to insure that the 25' fire lane
and mutual access easement can connect to the curb cut for the left turn lane will be
required from lot 4.
