According to the applicant’s park letter, this subdivision is intended to have private park land as required by the 2018 ordinance. Parks staff will review proposed improvements for compliance with code requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval as it will meet all requirements of the Platting Ordinance and ZH-A development standards with the following:
1. TIA Report, Recommendation #4 - All-way stop shall be based on traffic volumes and not on sight distance. The road network shall be designed with all adequate sight distance requirements. A roundabout may be the appropriate at this location given the network. Remove “all way stop control” from Pg. 42 of TIA Report narrative. Revise report accordingly and submit to the City prior to submittal of any preliminary plats.
2. Note: Per Sec. 118-46 temporary turnarounds shall be required if the stub street is longer than the depth of one lot or 250 feet, whichever is less. Temporary turnaround shall be required for Street A. This will need to be incorporated into the preliminary plat.
