ANALYSIS:
The preliminary plat as submitted, is in conformance with
City regulations and codes. However, the installation of
Riverchase Drive is of Great concern to staff. The
developers of this site (Riverview Estates), VillaGes at
Riverchase, and Riverchase Estates must resolve how
Riverchase Drive will be installed in its entirety. There
is a section of the future street that is not adjacent to
either development, (see attached map) but it must be
installed prior to either of the developments to ensure
that proper access to each site is provided. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject
to the installation of Riverchase Drive.
