PROJECT DESCRIPTION The concept plan identifies a total of 12 lots for single family residential development. The lots range in size from 11,841 square feet to 60,629 square feet. The existing single family home on proposed Lot 1 will remain on the property. All other existing buildings are intended to be demolished as part of the plat improvements. Three outlots are proposed on the rear of three lots as these portions are located within the mapped floodplain of Little Walnut Creek. The outlots will be required to be owned by the respective owners of each lot. The bulk regulations for the R-2 zoning district are summarized below. Table 1: Standard R-2 requirements. Category Standard R-2 (minimum) Lot Area 8,000 square feet Lot Width 65 feet Front Yard Setback 30 feet Rear Yard Setback 30 feet Side Yard Setback 15 feet total (7 feet minimum) All streets within the development will be built to City of Waukee standards. NE Bobcat Drive will be extended from the east to the west and will end in a cul-de-sac. No trails are included as part of this street extension. Five-foot-wide sidewalks will be constructed as each lot is developed. May 24, 2019 3 of 3 PARKLAND Based on the number of lots a total of 0.234 acres of parkland is required to be dedicated. It is expected that Outlot X on the north side of the plat will be dedicated to the City for parkland. Outlot X is located within the floodplain of Little Walnut Creek. The intent in the future is to extend a greenbelt trail through the area.
