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.

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.

ITEM 7
ANALYSIS:
Because the applicant is having some contract difficulties,
he has asked to postpone taking action on this request
until July. Staff has no objection to the applicants
request, would recommend denial of the preliminary plat at
this time, and suggests rehearing the plat on July 18,
1991.
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. We will address this
issue at the July 18 public hearing.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the preliminary plat
2) Deny the preliminary plat
ATTACHMENTS:
1) Preliminary Plat
