The property is located north of NW Douglas Parkway and east of NW 10th Street. The preliminary plat includes 38 lots. All lots meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the R-2 zoning district. Three public streets are shown being extended through the development. All lots will be served by public utilities. Outlot Z is 6.61-acres in area and is intended to be dedicated to the City to satisfy parkland dedication requirements for Ashley Acres Plat 1, 2, and 3. COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the request at their meeting on September 28, 2021, and recommended approval subject to remaining staff comments. Approval of a Preliminary Plat for Ashley Acres Plat 3 Planning Coordinator, Andy Kass, introduced the request for approval of a preliminary plat as made by the applicant, Ashley Acres, LLC, for a single family residential subdivision. The subject property is generally located north of NW Douglas parkway and east of NW 10h Street, containing approximately 24.29 acres. Mr. Kass advised that the preliminary plat identifies a total of 38 lots ranging in size from 9,403 square feet to 26,749 square feet in size and following the Standard R-2 Bulk Zoning Regulations. Outlots U,V,W and X are intended to be future buildable lots, however these Outlots currently include portions of either the 100-year or 500-year flood plain according to the most recent FEMA maps. The applicant will need to submit a petition to FEMA to request a Letter of map Revision prior to building on these lots. Without the revision, the lots will not be buildable. Three public streets are extended for this development, and no public trails are proposed as part of the plat. Public utilities will serve the development and storm water retention is identified within Outlot Y. Approximately 0.82 acres of parkland is identified for dedication to the city within Outlot Z where the lot size total of 6.61 acres satisfies requirements for Plats 1,2, and 3. J4 At this time staff would recommend approval of the preliminary plat for Ashley Acres Plat 3 subject to remaining staff comments.  Commissioner Broderick questioned if the extension of Outlot Z to the north would merge with any future or existing parkland. Mr. Kass advised that the intent is to acquire the area around the drainage way to the north of this development.  Commissioner Hoifeldt questioned about the future of the Outlots in the event that the applicant was denied the request for a map revision. Mr. Kass advised that there could be some re platting of the area to get the most buildable land while still maintaining the required easements, but the areas within the flood plains would be un-buildable. Calling these out now is a protection for instances of change in developer and future owners. Commissioner Inman moved to approve the preliminary plat for Ashley Acres Plat 3 subject to any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Ward seconded the motion. Ayes: Streit, Broderick, Hoifeldt, Inman, Ward, and Conley. Nays: none. Motion Carried. STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: The applicant has addressed nearly all staff comments. The remaining comments are minor in nature. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution subject to remaining staff comments. ATTACHMENTS: I. Resolution II. Staff Report III.

The applicant intends to submit a petition to FEMA to request a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to revise the flood elevations around these outlots. If the LOMR is approved by FEMA, the applicant will be able to plat these outlots as buildable lots. Outlots U, V, W, and X all meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the R-2 district.
