FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request on July 25, 2017, and recommended approval subject to remaining staff comments. Approval of a Final Plat from Clayton Estates Plat 1 City Planner, Melissa DeBoer, introduced the request for approval of a final plat made by the Applicant, Jerry’s Homes, Inc. The subject property is located to the west side of 6th Street and southwest of the 8th Street/ Northview Drive intersection and contains approximately 12.18 acres. The final plat includes a total of 37 single family lots ranging in size from approximately 8500 to 13000 square feet, which is consistent with the R-2 zoning district. The parkland dedication required for this plat is satisfied with the 0.64 acre parcel known as Out lot Z. Mrs. DeBoer advised that the existing street of Northview Drive will be extended into this plat as a major collector street that will be 31 feet wide with a 70 foot right-of-way. Five foot sidewalks will be constructed on both sides of the streets as each lot is developed. Mrs. DeBoer also explained that all utilities will be extended throughout the plat to provide access to all proposed lots and storm water detention is being accommodated for in the regional detention basin that has been constructed as part of the Waukee School District Transportation and Logistics Center. This pond is located on City Owned property and will be maintained by the City. At this time staff feels comfortable with the proposal and would recommend approval of the Final Plat for Clayton Estates Plat 1 subject to remaining staff comments, review of the legal documents by the City Attorney, and Completion of Public improvements.  Commissioner Hoifeldt clarified that the green space marked on the map over 8th street is just an error. Mrs. DeBoer advised that was correct- the school entrance on 8th street will remain the same and the update does not alter the size of the out lot proposed.  Commissioner Streit questioned what the long term plan was for the park space. City Staff advised that the long term plan is to work with the school to utilize the green area to create something similar to the Fox Creek Park area.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned if there was a reason for the slight misalignment in Northview Drive. City Staff advised that the slight curve was more than likely needed to maintain the depths of the bordering lots.  Commissioner Shanks questioned what the width of the new addition and the existing portions of Northview Drive were. Mrs. DeBoer advised that the new portion would be 31 feet wide, and that the existing portion was approximately 29 feet.  Commissioner Shanks also questioned of there would be a controlled intersection. City Staff advised that the area is one that will be monitored for traffic control needs, but that there are no current plans to change the traffic control in the area. Commissioner Hoifeldt moved to approve the final plat for Clayton Estates Plat 1, which was seconded by Commissioner Streit. Ayes: Stonebrook, Streit, Hoifeldt, Shanks, and Schmidt.. Nays: None.
