The subject property is approximately 17 acres in area and located east of Grand Prairie Parkway, south of Ashworth Road. Access to the property will be provided off of Ashworth Road and Grans Prairie Parkway. Utilities will be extended to the property as part of the plat improvements. FISCAL IMPACT INCLUDING COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request on December 13, 2016 and recommended approval subject to remaining staff comments. Approval of a Revised Preliminary Plat for Ashworth South Plat 1 Senior Planner, Andy Kass, introduced the request made by the applicant, Ashworth Properties LLC, for approval of a revised preliminary plat. The subject property is located within the Kettlestone Corridor and includes approximately 17 acres located on the east side of Grand Prairie Parkway and south of Ashworth Road. The properties was rezoned and a preliminary plat was approved by the Commission earlier in 2016. The applicant has since revised the layout of the lots and added an access off of Grand Prairie Parkway. Mr. Kass explained that the revised preliminary plat includes 2 lots and 2 out lots. The lots range from 2.01 acres to 2.71 acres while the out lots range from 3.54 acres to 7.97 acres in area. All lots and outlots are intended for future commercial development. Mr. Kass stated that minimal street improvements are required for the developments as the only street improvement necessary at this time is a turn lane off of Ashworth Road. Access to the development would be from two right in right out access points from Grand Prairie parkway and a full access available off of Ashworth Road to the north of the site. Mr. Kass advised that the access drive off of Ashworth Road will eventually extend south to SE Kettlestone Boulevard. This access road would be a 26 foot wide private access road will be constructed in the former right-of-way of Vermillion Court which was vacated by the City in 2015. A five foot sidewalk is identified on the west and north side of the access drive and a 10 foot wide trail will be installed across the property as part of the Kettlestone greenbelt trail system. Mr. Kass stated that several easements are proposed within the plat based upon the location of proposed utilities, including but not limited to, easements for utilities and proposed ingress/egress easements to provide access to the lots. All utilities will be provided to lots 1 and 2 as part of plat improvements with Sanitary Sewer extended from Grand Prairie Parkway and Water service extended from Ashworth Road. The storm water in this plat will be detained in a temporary detention basin on the west side of the road on property which is also owned by the applicant until development allows detention in the future regional storm water retention basin. At this time Staff Feels Comfortable with the proposal and would recommend approval of the revised preliminary plat for Ashworth Road south plat 1 subject to remaining staff comments. Commissioner Schmidt questioned where the full access point was on the development. Mr. Kass advised that it would be on the north boundary off of Ashworth Road. Director of Development Services, Brad Deets, added that another full access would be available to the south once the proposed private street had been extended. Commissioner Hoifeldt asked for clarification on a dotted line depicted on the plat map. Mr. Kass advised it showed a utility easement on the property. Commissioner Streit asked for clarification of the lot changes. Mr. Kass advised that the site was being proposed as 2 lots and 2 out lots instead of the original submitted proposal for 4 lots and no out lots. Commissioner Schmidt clarified that until the road was fully developed, any traffic would have to route north to Ashworth Road in order to go south on Grand Prairie Parkway. Mr. Deets clarified that was correct. He also explained that there would be connecting ingress/egress easements making the flow of traffic similar to Mills Civic Parkway in West Des Moines once completed. Commissioner Schmidt moved to approve the revised preliminary plat for Ashworth South Plat 1, subject to remaining staff comments. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Shanks. Ayes: Nigro, Streit, Hoifeldt, Shanks, and Schmidt Nays: none. Motion Carries. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: At this time a majority of staff comments have been addressed.
