HISTORY:
In September of 1990 a portion of this 47 acre tract (27.5
acres) was preliminary platted into an 84 lot subdivision.
Because of the nine month expiration period, that plat is
now null and void.
TRANSPORTATION:
Riverchase Boulevard is proposed to be a four lane,
undivided roadway contained within a 70 foot right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
The surrounding area is currently vacant or contains
Riverchase Golf Course. Current zoning is (SF-0) on the
subject tract, (SF-12-SUP) (Golf Course) on the west, south
and north, and (SF-0) on the east.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Proposes low density, single-family development on
subject tract as well as on the surrounding land area.

ANALYSIS:
Because the applicant was having some contract
difficulties in J~ne, he asked to postpone taking action on
this request until July. There are still several problems
with this plat that have yet to be resolved. Primary among
them is the obligation this developer has to the overall
development of the entire Riverchase development. Who pays
for the linear park, for example, how much, when, what does
the park plan look like, etc., etc. With regard to
Riverchase Boulevard, how is the road extended to its
ultimate length, who is responsible for the road on golf
course property, when and how much payment is made? These
and other issues must be addressed before staff can make a
recommendation on this plat. The accompanying letter
discusses many of our concerns. We will elaborate on staff
position in the briefing session.
As an aside, we would point out that the preliminary plat
approved last September on a comparably sized site
contained 84 lots, this plat show 92 on the same land area,
a slightly increased density overall.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat
2) Deny the preliminary plat
