Ten (10) of the proposed lots located south of the RRVT are intended for light industrial development. One (1) lot is intended for multi-family residential development located north of the RRVT.

NW Sunrise Drive is considered a collector street and has a 70-foot right-of-way and is a 31-foot wide street. NW Sunrise Drive crosses the Raccoon River Valley Trail. City staff has worked with Dallas County to create a safe crossing at this point. Along NW Sunrise Drive, automated signals will notify oncoming vehicular traffic that a pedestrian/cyclist is approaching on the trail. Vehicular traffic will have to stop for the pedestrians/cyclists at the crossing when the signals are activated. In addition, the crossing will be a raised crossing so that vehicular traffic will need to slow down even if a pedestrian is not approaching. Additional signage will be placed on the trail in each direction notifying trail users of the upcoming crossing. Two additional streets have been constructed, NW Gettysburg Lane and NW Shiloh Circle. Both of these streets are 60-foot right-of-way and 29 feet wide. No trails are planned as part of this development. Five foot wide sidewalks will be installed as each lot is developed. UTILITIES Utilities have been extended to service the proposed plat as part of the public improvements. Sanitary sewer and public water main were extended from the north to service the individual lots. Each lot will be required to provide its own storm water management as development occurs. EASEMENTS All proposed easements have been indicated on the final plat. In addition to the typical easement s for public utilities the preliminary plat identifies landscape buffer easements along the north side of Lot 1, 7, 8, 10, and 11 to provide screening from adjacent uses. STAFF RECOMMENDATION All proposed lots meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the final plat is in general conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance, and the proposed land use of the property is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to remaining staff comments.
