FILE: Preliminary Plat - Metropolitan Park, Phase Two
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
the following conditions and with a waiver of the temporary
cul-de-sac requirement at the end o f Metropolitan Drive:
1. Revise the plat to reflect the platting of the garden homes
only. (Planning)
2. Label the size of the water and sewer lines and show their
location within the garden homes section. (Planning)
3. If zero lot line development is proposed, the appropriate
building lines, necessary structural restrictions, five
foot maintenance access easement and a maximum three foot
roof overhang easement must be shown on the plat.
(Planning)
LEAP Engineering, LLC, has applied for preliminary plat approval
of Metropolitan Park, Phase Two. The preliminary plat, as
submitted, plats the 4 acres designated for garden homes and
the 13 acres designated for estate lots.
While preparing the staff report, the Planning Manager noticed
that the estate lots are located within A-R zoning and do not
meet the minimum one acre lot size. Therefore, after discussion
with the consultant, the garden homes will be the only section
platted in Phase Two.
Sidewalks will be constructed along the entire length of
Metropolitan Drive and along Metropolitan Court. The applicant
is requesting a waiver of the temporary cul-de-sac requirement
a the end of Metropolitan Drive. The preliminary plat of Phase
Three with an extension of Metropolitan will be brought to the
Planning Commission in June.
This item was sent to all interested parties. No negative
responses have been received.
Exhibits are attached.
