Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5 Preliminary Subdivision Plan Project # 97-001 ISSUE: Should the Mayor and City Commission approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5? BACKGROUND: Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5 will include a total of 70 single family residential lots, located on the east side of Clarke Road,just north of Hackney Prairie Road. The subdivision will also include one commercial lot (4.36 acres) to be located at the northeast corner of Clarke Road and Hackney Prairie Road. Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5 will have three points of access - one from the adjacent Prairie Lake Subdivision (Phase 1) to the north, one from Hackney Prairie Road to the south, and one from the proposed Remington Oaks subdivision to the east. The site is currently vacant and covered with a large number of trees(mostly oaks). During review of the Final Subdivision Plans, Staff will do everything possible to ensure that as many trees as possible will be preserved in this subdivision. General Note # 11 clearly indicates that tree removal will be limited to clearing of road right-of-way and retention areas as detailed in the Final Subdivision Plans. The Honorable Mayor and City Commission August 14, 1997 Page 2 The land in Phase 5 of this subdivision currently has a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use designation of Commercial. During the next few months a Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be processed which, if approved, will change its designation from Commercial to Single Family Residential. A Zoning Map Amendment will also be processed which, if approved, will change its zoning from C-1 to R-1-A. General Note # 15 on Sheet 1 of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan indicates that the developer is aware that the approval of Phase 5 is subject to approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment for the subject property. DISCUSSION: The proposed Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5 was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) on July 24, 1997. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed Preliminary Subdivision Plan. All concerns of City Staff and our consultants have been satisfactorily addressed in these plans. However,the Commission is reminded that approval of Phase 5 is subject to approval of a Comp- rehensive Plan Amendment and a Zoning Map Amendment which will be processed during the next few months. Applications for those amendments have been submitted and at this point, we anticipate that they will be reviewed by the Commission in January 1998. If the necessary amendments are not approved, Phases 3 and 4 will be developed to stand alone. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION: On August 12, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a de novo public hearing on the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5. During the public hearing, the developer's representatives were present but did not speak because staff was able to answer all the questions asked by the Commission. There was no opposition to the proposed subdivision, but there was concern about saving as many trees as possible. Staff indicated that a note regarding tree protection was placed on the Preliminary Subdivision Plan and when the Final Subdivision Plan is reviewed, Staff will do everything possible to ensure that as many trees as possible will be preserved in this subdivision. After a brief discussion, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As indicated above, the Development Review Committee recommended approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5.The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommended approval of the proposed subdivision. Based on the The Honorable Mayor and City Commission August 14, 1997 Page 3 recommendation of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for Prairie Lake Subdivision, Phases 3, 4 & 5 as date stamped received by the City on July 31, 1997.
