FILE: Preliminary Plat - Faith Estates, Phase I
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following
conditions:
1. Provide fire hydrants to meet the requirements of the Fire
Marshall. (Fire)
2. Change the names of Faith and Hope Streets. Those names
are duplicates. (Fire)
3. Hydraulics analysis needs to show 5 and 10 year
frequencies. Receiving stream shall be analysis for
additional flow. (Engineering)
and with variances to the minimum lot depth of Lot 4, Block
2, to the minimum collector width requirements, and to the
temporary cul-de-sac turnaround requirement at the end of Peace.
Don King, representing Fittz & Shipman, Inc., has applied for
preliminary plat approval of Faith Estates, Phase I, a 17.35
acre, 68 lot single family residential subdivision. The
property is located on the south side of Plant Road, west of
Helbig.
Access to Plant Road will be provided by two local streets with
50' wide right-of-ways and 27' pavement widths. This
subdivision is the first phase of a three phase development.
An additional 47 lots are proposed.
The property owner is requesting a variance to the minimum width
for a collector street. Woodland Meadows Section One, when
platted, left two 50' wide tracts fronting on Plant Road. These
unplatted tracts were to provide access onto Plant Road for
future development.
The Subdivision Regulations require that a street serving more
than 64 lots, but less than 450 lots, shall be classified as
a minor collector with a minimum 60' wide right-of-way and a
36' wide pavement measured face to face of curb. To comply
with regulations, Peace would need to be developed as a minor
collector.
This item was sent to all interested parties. The Fire Marshall
stated that two additional fire hydrants will be required.
He also recommended that the street names Faith and Hope be
changed as they are duplicates of existing street names. The
Planning Manager recommends

approval of the variance to the minimum lot depth of Lot 4,
Block 2. A minimum of 100' is required. The plat shows Lot
4, Block 2 with a depth of approximately 90' at midpoint. The
Subdivision Regulations also require that a temporary
cul-de-sac be constructed at the end of dead-end streets. This
requirement may be waived if the dead-end street is less than
200 feet in length. The property owner is requesting that the
temporary cul-de-sac be waived for the end of Peace. The street
length is approximately 140' in length.
Exhibits are attached.
