The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
the following conditions:

Soutex Surveyors has applied for a preliminary plat of Shammah
Stone II Addition. The property is located on the north side
of Tram Rd. at N. Major Drive.
Shammah Stone II Addition is a 13.4 acre, 22 lot, single family
residential subdivision. Typical lot size will be 93' x 235'.
The property will be accessed by Elton Lane, a cul-de-sac street
with a 60' wide right-of-way with a 27' pavement width. All
utilities will be constructed to city standards.
The applicant is requesting a variance to the front yard building
setback. The plat shows a 20' minimum front yard building
setback. The lots have more than adequate lot depth and area
to accommodate a 25' front building setback. The applicant
is also requesting a variance to the maximum length allowed
for a cul-de-sac street. The maximum length allowed by
ordinance is 800'. Elton Lane is approximately 930' in length.
The property backs up to a 140' wide DD#6 drainage easement.
This item was sent to all interested parties. The Planning
Manager is requiring that a 25' foot front building setback
be shown on the plat. DD#6 has recommended approval subject
to revising the plat by deleting those parts of Lots 11-13 that
are within the DD#6 drainage easement.
