The property is zoned RSF-4, SINGLE FAMILY - 4 UNITS/ACRE and contains approximately 33.41 acres. The request is to approve a residential subdivision with 173 single family lots proposed. Pate: Welcome to the Technical Plat Review Committee meeting of July 14, 2004. We have four items on our agenda this morning. The first item is PPL 04-1101 for Schlegel Subdivision containing approximately 33 acres with 173 single family lots proposed. Include adjacent property zoning. Change the title block to reflect the RSF-4 zoning district. The primary comment that I have is the Master Street Plan calls for Gypsum Drive as a collector street across this property east and west. Crystal Springs has constructed a portion of this street which is shown on the Master Street Plan to connect east to Deane Solomon Road. To amend that it would take a Master Street Plan amendment to the City Council. I don't believe, in speaking with other staff, that we would recommend approval of that. What we will need to look at is what kind of connection we can get here from the west to the east. This stub out really doesn't accomplish that because it is so meandering that it does not function as a collector street whatsoever. That is probably the biggest issue on this development. Jefcoat: I guess that is a major issue because while the Master Street Plan may show that going through Wilson Springs it is not going through Wilson Springs. Pate: Correct. That has actually gone to Council and been amended. Jefcoat: We are providing a future project that we know of which is the 120 acre property that does connect up to Salem Road that does give us that collector street. I thought we had gone over this during the planning process of how that is going to occur. I know that it is on the Master Street Plan but we need to get it removed. I guess we'll just have to resolve that somehow. Pate: We can sit down and talk about that. The Wilson Springs project to the east of here had the same Master Street Plan, it was called Truckers Drive on the east and they went to Council and got that removed due to wetlands and preservation area. That was amended but this portion is still on the Master Street Plan. Council would have to approve that amendment to not have the connection that this development could provide. Jefcoat During the preliminary planning process we actually thought that this gave us the connectivity so that that could be amended. Technical Plat Review July 14, 2004 Page 3 Pate: That would actually be required regardless to handle some of the traffic. The collector street though is more of a through street, much like Crystal Springs that has constructed Gypsum Drive already and stubbed it out. That provides a through street in the future. Jefcoat: Right. During the preliminary planning stage, that stub out was the one that lines up with the stub out for Crystal Springs I. During the annexation and planning approval talking to the Zaccanti's about their property development they don't want that collector there. That's been discussed a whole lot with them so we'll have to work it out. Pate: That's appropriate to do that. There are a couple of notes to add on the plat and that's about all that Planning has. Matt? Matt Casey — Staff Engineer Casey: Tom, you are showing a detention area in this proposed roundabout and that will not be allowed. Also, the roundabout will have to meet all current design criteria. Jefcoat: We were hoping to come up with a nice feature. Casey: I understand that. We also need to ensure that it is designed properly. We will have to work with you about the location. Jefcoat: That stub out there is lined up to feed into the Wilson springs development. They are in agreement with that location to connect to their location. If we go anymore we are at the curve. Casey: We will have to work out those details. We need to remove the island between 19 and 20. Jefcoat: There again, when we were working with Tim Conklin in Crystal Springs III the use of that island was very desirable at the Planning Commission level and we talked with Tim as far as the transition coming into this subdivision and flow of traffic with a straight shot through to Crystal Springs. Yes, we can eliminate that, that's fine. It was a desirable entrance point and was asked for almost at that point in time. Casey: I'll have to look into that. I don't know if lot 111 will have enough room to access a driveway if entering from the north. Jefcoat: We have worked with driveway entrances with common shared drives. We can still cut that down and change it so it will be more desirable for a driveway. Check the profile grade for the street at lots 158 and 160, there seems to be a long distance between contours. Technical Plat Review July 14, 2004 Page 4 Casey: All local streets will need to have a 4' sidewalk on both sides located at the right of way. The park area you are not shown any sidewalks, you will need to make sure those are shown. Jefcoat: In the park area? Casey: Yes. Jefcoat: I can tell you just what Tracy said and I can tell you just the way Tracy feels and he is not willing to, he has donated that land to parks. Casey: Irregardless of how he feels, we will need a 6' sidewalk in there. Jefcoat I'm telling you that is going to be a point of contention. Casey: That's fine. They need to be there. The collector street will need to have a 6' sidewalk located at the right of way. We are recommending improvements for Salem 14' from centerline with curb and gutter on the south side. The north side will be brought up to county standards. That is the same as our recommendation at the time of rezoning and annexation. West Salem Road will need to be widened to a minimum of 20' of pavement from the project to the intersection with Deane Solomon. Jefcoat: Right of way issues for the property to the south there are in the city limits? Casey: Yes. Sanitary sewer services can only enter the manholes if the manhole is at the end of the line. The sewer line will need to be extended to serve lots 133 and 51. Sanitary sewer will also need to be extended to the north project boundary for future extension. We will need to get with RJN about where the sanitary sewer easements may need to run through this property for our new wastewater treatment plant. Jefcoat: Are there easements along the south of Crystal Springs III? Casey: There may be additional required. Pate: Parks? Allison Brady — Parks Department Brady: We will need to work with you with the lot number change and the parkland dedication. Technical Plat Review July 14, 2004 Page 5 Jefcoat: I don't know if you were privy to the conversation that occurred yesterday or not but I did call Rebecca and Connie and brought some letters today. The 120 acres to the east is a project we are looking at. For that development we are looking at doing some reverse land banking. That park may not be there at the time of final plat. Mike Phipps — Ozark Electric Coop, Phipps: Tom, any relocation of existing facilities will be at the developer's expense. We will need 20' UE's and all utility crossings will need to be six 4". This is a drawing you can have to put those in. Things may change if that street goes through. Pate: The last item is trees. Based on this calculation there is 2.5% existing and 1.7% preserved. Are you looking at doing some onsite mitigation? Jefcoat: Probably what we will do is the island in the middle we'll do our tree mitigation in there. Pate: Ok, so you would prefer to do onsite mitigation instead of paying into the tree fund? Jefcoat: Yes, and we will probably plant in those island areas. Pate: We'll need to show the canopy on there. Jefcoat There are no important trees, they are just all fence line shrub trees. Pate: Ok, just show the areas that have existing canopy and in a table. The revisions are due on the 21st by 10:00 a.m.
