LS 98-36.00: LOT SPLIT (VANTAGE SQUARE POST OFFICE, pp 175)
NORTH OF JOYCE & WEST OF PARK VIEW DRIVE
The lot split request was submitted by Kirk Elsass of Lindsey and Associates, Inc. on behalf of
Vantage Square Joint Venture for property located north of Joyce Street and west of Park View
Drive. The property is zoned R -O, Residential Office, and the proposed split will create an 8 51
acre tract.
Kirk Elsass was present on behalf of the project. He stated that J.C. Rucker was the designer and
Ms. Warrick stated he should get with Mr. Rucker regarding the requirements below.
STAFF COMMENTS
Chuck Rutherford, Sidewalk and Trail Coordinator
The requirement along Joyce Boulevard is for a 10 feet trail. Vantage Avenue is a collector
street and it requires a minimum 6 feet sidewalk with a minimum 10 feet green space.
Discussion ensued regarding whether or not the post office would provide those requirements.
Ms. Warrick requested that the sidewalks be constructed at the lot split level or some type of
assurance that same would be done. Further discussion ensued regarding the event leading up to
the post office contract. Mr. Elsass stated that Lindsey has executed the contract to purchase. He
stated there was no offer and acceptance agreement. Mr. Elsass stated the post office would not
execute an offer and acceptance unless and until the lot split was approved. Mr. Elsass further
stated that they would close on the property prior to large scale development which is unusual
because that holds up your sale. Ms. Warrick stated they were not required by law to do the large
scale development because they are a higher government agency than the City. Ms. Little stated
that they had indicated that they would. In Mr. Elsass' and J.C.'s contact with Larry Brooks and
Winston Guithrie representing the United States Post Office, they stated that they intended to
fully cooperate with the City.
Discussion ensued regarding the three separate legals. Mr. Elsass stated he was not sure whether
the post office would deed the triangular shaped property and Ms. Little requested that the legals
would be left as they are and if for some reason the post office doesn't take possession of that
section it can be dedicated with a lot line adjustment.
More discussion ensued regarding whether or not the budget included monies for sidewalk and
road construction. Mr. Beavers asked that the matter be clarified and either the post office
construct the sidewalk and contribute to the box culvert or the lot split be condition upon
Vantage Square making those contributions. Mr. Elsass stated the contract reflected that the post
office would pay for the street and sidewalk.

amount of $6500 be held in escrow for future traffic signal installation if MUTCD warrants for a
signal are met at Vantage and Joyce.
Mr. Elsass stated the post office had agreed to provide that signal.
Dawn T. Warrick, Development Coordinator
Planning requested labeling of the adjacent zoning and property owners, adding plat page 175 to
the title block, show layout of adjoining property (lot lines, curb cuts, etc.). They request that the
vicinity map be added to the plat which shows all existing and proposed streets including
Vantage and the floodplain. They request that the description for 3-B in the right of way
description for dedication but for the time being it can be left as is per the above discussion.
They request dimension of the right of way from the centerline and labeling and dimension of all
existing and proposed easements. They request labeling of setbacks and adding the owner's
name to the plat.
Staff requests the right of way for Vantage to accommodate a street that will match what has
already been built to the north off Zion. Discussion ensued regarding the existing width of right
of way along Zion and what is required for a collector street. Joyce Boulevard is classified as a
principle arterial on the Master Street Plan which requires a total of 110' of right of way - 55'
from centerline is required for this request.
Mr. Beavers requested an easement for the existing sewer line.
Ms. Little requested that Mr. Elsass make the right of way dedication 90 feet and then contact her
to ascertain whether that would be adequate.
Ms. Warrick stated the other concern with the Master Street Plan was concerning Stearns Street
and Ms. Little stated that since they owned property up above there that would not be a problem.
Discussion ensued regarding adjacent zoning. Mr. Elsass stated the adjoining properties were C-
2 and R -O.
Ms. Warrick stated all utilities are located underground.
Ms. Warrick stated the tract contained 2 acres and would require Subdivision Committee

approval. Ms. Little acknowledged this was not an administrative lot split due to the size of the
proposed tracts. Ms. Little stated this lot split could be added on to the Subdivision Committee
agenda on October 1, 1998.
Jim Beavers P.E., Engineering
The engineer for the post office (J.C. Rucker of the Phillip Leraris Company) informed that the
post office is prohibited by law from dedicating right of way or making off-site improvements.
Therefore, any requirements to be assessed by the Planning Commission, such as the right of
way and construction for Vantage, including a box culvert, should be discussed at the time of the
lot split. If the post office is constructing the approximately 165 feet of Vantage then this
construction should be clarified. If the post office is not constructing the sidewalk then Vantage
Square should be responsible. A determination of whether lot 3B will be dedicated as
greenspace or right of way needs to be made. Determination needs to be made on whether or not
the 36 inch water line is within the easement and Mr. Elsass should contact engineering and
arrangement for on site visit with the consultant, engineering and water and sewer. Mr. Beavers
reserved further comments for the large scale development process.
