COUNTRY ESTATES - PRELIMINARY PLAT
March 19, 1992
April 14, 1992
LOCATION:
The southwest corner of Bethel School Road and Harris
Street.
SIZE OF AREA: 13.95 Acres
REQUEST:
Approval of a preliminary plat.
APPLICANT:
Mr. Horace Ardinger

HISTORY:
Country Estates was approved as a preliminary plat by the
City Council in 1989, as well as a zoning change from (C)
Commercial to (SF-12) Single-Family-l~. The plat was
approved with the condition that the roadway concerns for
Bethel School Road be resolved prior to final plat
application. Technically, the preliminary plat submitted
in 1989 has expired, therefore, the applicant is
resubmitting this preliminary plat with minor amendments,
such as:
1) Add Lots 1-3, Block A to the variance request for
front entry garages, in an effort to save large
caliper trees in the rear yard.
2) The depths of Lots 15 and 16 (Block B) have been
reduced in order to provide a street transition at the
intersection of Bethel School Road and Harris Street.
TRANSPORTATION:
Shorewood Drive intersects with both Bethel School Road and
Harris Road.
ITEM 10
SURRO[]NDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - single-family use; PD-SF-9 zoning
South - vacant; commercial zoning
East - vacant; commercial zoning
West - PD-SF-7 and PD-SF-9
ANALYSIS:
Although a preliminary plat was approved by the Planning
and Zoning Commission and the City Co~n%cil in 1989,
technically, since a final plat was not submitted within
the allowable time frame (9 months) a resubmittal was
required.
The plat as submitted, conforms to City codes and
ordinances, however, staff is concerned with the angle of
the intersection at Bethel School Road and Harris Street,
and recommends that "No Parking" signs be placed along
Harris Street, from Brooks Street north to Bethel School
Road.
The applicant's engineer has submitted a request to leave
the area between lots 3 and 4 of Block A, in its natural
condition. The Engineering Department recommends that the
stream be placed in a storm sewer line along the entire
length of the property.
In summary, staff has no objections to the approval of the
preliminary plat, but strongly objects to leaving the
stream in its natural condition, between Lots 3 and 4,
Block A.
ALTERNATIVES:
1) Approve the preliminary plat along with deviations, as
submitted
2) Approve the preliminary plat with amendments
3) Deny the preliminary plat
ATTAC}~ENTS: 1) Preliminary Plat
