ANALYSIS:
Chautaugua Place was first submitted as a PD in order to
eliminate alleys within the development. City Council
approved the request provided that alleys were not needed
for drainage and that the minimum house size would be 1800
square feet.
The final plat was originally scheduled for Planning and
Zoning Commission review on December 19, 1991, but lack of
a quor~um caused the meeting to be cancelled and those
agenda items to be rescheduled to the January 16, 1992,
Planning Commission docket. Since State law requires that
if a plat is not disapproved within 30 days of application,
it is then considered approved, this plat was technically
deemed as approved. The applicant, Matthews Investments
has explained that they are under time constraints, and can
not afford to loose time by placing the final plat on the
Planning and Zoning agenda and must, therefore, be
considered by the City Council on the January 14 docket.
Because construction plans are not submitted until the time
of application of the final plat, staff can better address
the alley and drainage concern at the time of final
construction plans. We, therefore, recommend approval of
the final plat with the following stipulations:
1) Lots 15-20, Block A must show frontage on Dakota Lane,
2) Maintenance Agreement be provided for all common areas
and for entry monument feature,
3) Final plat shall not be executed until plans for the
improvement of Harris Road are approved by the City,
4) Development fees must be paid prior to filing of the
executed plat.
ALTERI~ATIVES:
1) Approve the Final Plat
2) Deny the Final Plat
3} Modify the Final Plat

Dear Taryon:
NATHAN D. MAIER
CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
Enclosed are 26 prints of the revised final plat for the above referenced project. We have reviewed staff's
comments regarding our plat and plans and have agreed to all recommended changes e~cept for the following:
1)
It has been suggested that Harris Road be constructed as a colleaor size street from Bethel School
Road through the Brooks Lane intersection. It is our position that Council has already addre~ed this
issue in a definitive manner by removing this street from the Thoroughfare Plan and reclassifying
Harris as a local street However, our client has agreed that if the City and the other affected property
owners determine that a reversal of this decision is now desired, he will cooperate. He does ask that
the increased destruction of existing trees adjacent to both sides of the right-of-way be taken into
account during the revisitation of this issue.
We have been asked to raise the elevation of its subdivision's internal streets to reduce the level of
potential ponding of store water in the event that our inlets for some reason become inoperable. It
has been a primary goal to cut our streets relatively Iow in order to provide better drainage from the
existing lots that abut our west and south property lines. We prefer to leave the streets as they are.
3)
Staff has requested that we construct an off site water line over 600 feet in length to connect the
existing line in Harris Street to another existing line in Kaye Streec We feel that this is not neceasa~
to serve our site and object to bearing this cost. It is our understanding that this kind of expense is
the reason we are required to pay a water availability fee.
Relative to the discussion above, we have provided an on site extension of un 8 inch water line from
our line in Dakota Street to lC. aye Street jat our northwest property corner; This line was designed to
be in a 15 foot easement centered on/he lot line between lots 14 and 15 of Block A. Staff has
requested that this easement be expanded to a width of 20 feel We feel that this is excessive for a line
that is as shallow as this one will be. Wejcouid agree to a width of 16 feet, but 20 feet would not leave
room on either lot for a house pad.
Thank you for considering our comments.
Sincerely,
NATHAN D. MAIER
