This is a 33-1ot subdivision which was initially scheduled for Council action on September 28, 1993. On

1993, and including the alleys) can be resubmitted ~o Council with no further action required by the Planning
Commission, hence, the resubmitted September 16, 1993, Commission plat is presented here.

HISTORY:
A preliminary plat was approved on March 10, 1992. A resubmittal with
a slightly different configuration was resubmitted on Sept. 16, 1993, and
approved. On Sept. 28, the applicant asked to have the plat withdrawn
from Council consideration, resubmitted a different plat (no alleys) before
the Planning Commission which was denied on Oct. 14. This submittal
to Council is identical to the one approved by the Commission on Sept.
16.
TRANSPORTATION: This tract will be adequately served by Parkway Blvd.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - Vacant; PD-SF-9
South - Single-family detached; PD-SF
East - Single-family detached; PD-SF
West - Single-family detached; SF-9
ANALYSIS:
When this plat was originally presented to the Planning & Zoning
Commission and the City Council last year, staff did not object to the
approval of this case, however, we were concerned about a proposed
median opening with a left-turn lane along MacArthur Boulevard. The
plat has been revised and the previous problem has now been resolved.
There is concern that there may be some difficulty building a residence on
lot 15, block G. Considering the drainage easement on the north side of
the lot along with a 30 foot sewer easement on the south side, we doubt
that the builder will be able to make it work, so it would make more sense
to eliminate the lot during thc platting stage rather than making the
attempt to plat it and then concluding that a structure won't fit. The
engineer (Dowdey Anderson)) has assured us that Lot 15 is a buildable
site.
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. However, we have
the following concerns:
Water, sewer and drainage plans need to be submitted to the City
Engineer and four variances should be requested on the face of the plat:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Variance for the minimum center line radius from 425 to
150 feet. ~
Variance for the deletion of alleys for lots 1-15, Block (3.
variance to allow a cul-de-sac length of more than 600
feet.
Variance to allow the deletion of alleys.
1) Approve the plat with the variances requested.
2) Deny the plat.
3) Modify the plat.
