In the early history of CoppeH as a City (mid 1980'0, this property was
zoned SF-12. By the lam 80's, and the introdoclion of the Rivercha~
development, this parcel was rezoned to MF-2. In late 1991, ~he prope~
was re.hied ngain, this time to SF-7. The final plat presented in this
packet reflects SF-7 development.

TRANSPORTATION:
Riverchase Boulevard is an existing four lane undivided street contained
within a 60-font right-of-way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Undeveloped PD SF-7; developing SF-7
South- Riverchase Golf Course; SF-12, S.U.P.
Fa~t - Developing residential; SF-7
West - Utility line R.O.W., undeveloped land; PD SF-7
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The existing Comprehensive Plan shows mulii-family development; the
Plan under revision suggests single-family use as most appropfia~ for this
This propet~y is adjacent on the west to a 130 f~ot T.U. Electric
easement, and the lotting arrangement at first glance appears to be
It is ~x~gnized that ~ plat aUempts to place a few lots along the
common utility easement by extending the cul-de-sacs to the easement
line. On the other hand, by extending the cul-de-sacs to that line, one's
focal point from the sUeet into a ratl~ unsightly and ansthe6cally
displeasing easement right-of-way are not blocked by sUuctu~s. Five-
foot wide common landscaped areas, maintained by a homeowner's
associa~on ~ the sUeet tight-of-way and the u~ility easement have
Another issue to be addressed is that the overall Riverchase development
plan has advocaled screening walls and landscaping adjacent to Rivercbn_.se
Boulevard. Not only does this development propose a SC~ing wall
adjacent to the lo~s along Riverchase, the northern 400 feet (near Sandy
I nt~ Road) now includes a common area (#1) which is 1o be nmintained
by the homonwner assoelafion. Future placement of this wall will provide
continuity of screening walls and landscaping in the Rive~chue
developm~t.

Finally, there are two engineering concerns that must be addressed
including:
1. A floodplain development permit is required;
2. escrow for Sandy lake frontage (approximately $1,600) is
required.
The developer has also agreed to build a brick screening wall along
Riven:ha.se Blvd. and is currently working with the city and TU Electric
to obtain an easement to construct the Riverchase wall.
If the developer add~ these issues to the satisfaction of staff, approval
of the final plat along with variances, would be in order.
1) Approve the final plat.
2) Deny the final plat.
3) Modify the final plat.
