FILE # 18-3994 16 Jan 2018 Page 5 of 6 Stormwater and Drainage Improvements The City's consulting engineer has provided comments regarding this proposed plat with regard to stormwater management and drainage concerns, some requiring additional action or plan revisions by the developer. However, the developer should contact MCWD and provide confirmation regarding the permits or approvals they will require for this subdivision. Rain gardens/filtration basins are shown adjacent to the defined wetland buffer. The development is subject to the 2018 Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee of $6,050 per acre. For the 1/2 -acre zoning districts, any lot exceeding 0.5 gross acres, including wetland, shall be charged a maximum trunk fee equal to the trunk fee for a 0.5 acre parcel. Therefore $6,050 x 1.5 [3 lots x 0.5 = 1.5 total acres] = $9,075.00. Utility Locations and Availability The subject property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The property was served with City water in both Togo Road and Northern Avenue as part of the 1970 -LW -1 project which was assessed on both a front footage and unit basis. According to the as -built record plan, the property has one stub on Togo Road (presumably in use by the existing house) and two stubs at Northern Avenue. However, while the property was fully assessed for 294 feet of front footage, which includes both Togo and Northern frontages, it was only assessed for two units. Additionally, one additional water unit is due with the creation of two additional lots as the plat is proposed. That 3rd water unit charge would be $4,240.00 per the 2018 Fee Schedule. PRD/CUP Section 78-348(6) The developer is requesting flexibility to accomplish their development goals. The flexibility is able to be accomplished via the creation of a Planned Residential District (PRD) overlay. The mechanism for establishing a PRD is the conditional use permit process which establishes an overlay district accommodating the desired flexibility. The PRD process could provide the framework for development of the lots which meet the half acre standard albeit with noncontiguous acreage, and the requested reduced front setbacks with conditions. Planning Commission should discuss the merits of platting as a PRD based on the requests for front yard setback reductions and noncontiguous lot area minimums for Lots 2 and 3; as well as the proposed right-of-way width to be dedicated on Northern Avenue. Planning Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval in accordance with the current and going recommendation of the City Engineer as well as the requirements of the MCWD. The Planning Commission's options for action are: • Recommend approval with appropriate conditions; • Recommend denial, stating reasons; or • Table the application providing direction and guidance to the developer.
