TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Robert Lewis, Senior Planner
THROUGH: Russell B. Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning Pr.%
SUBJECT: Remington Oaks(formerly known as Burnden Park)
Final Subdivision Plan
Project#96-007
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final Subdivision Plan for Remington
Oaks?
BACKGROUND:
Remington Oaks will include_a total of 140 single family residential lots, located roughly a quarter
of a mile east of Clarke Road, on both the north and south sides of Hackney Prairie Road: The
recreation area for the project and 21 of the total 140 lots are to be located south of Hackney
Prairie Road with the rest of the lots north of Hackney Prairie Road. The Preliminary Subdivision
Plan for.Remington Oaks was approved by the City Commission on August 19, 1997.
DISCUSSION:
The portion of Remington Oaks located north of Hackney Prairie Road will have three points of
access one from Hackney Prairie Road to the south, one from the adjacent Prairie Lake
Subdivision (Phase 2) to the north, and one from the Prairie Lake Subdivision (Phase 3) to the
west. The site is currently vacant and covered with a large number of trees (mostly oaks), some
of them rather large. During review of the Final Subdivision Plans, Staff has done everything
possible to ensure that as many trees as possible will be preserved in this subdivision. General
Note#v) on Sheet 22 clearly indicates that, except for trash trees, tree removal will be limited to
clearing of road right-of-way and retention areas. .

Tract A (9.5 acres) will be dedicated to the City within three months after Final Subdivision Plan
approval. This includes a portion of Lake Hackney and associated 100 year flood plain, and
approximately 4 acres of usable land for a park. Tract C, the large retention pond at the north end
of the site, will also be conveyed to the City because it will be receiving storm water run off from
Hackney Prairie Road. The pond in Tract C and this portion of Hackney Prairie Road (from the
western edge to the eastern edge of the subdivision) will be constructed by the developer in the
first phase of construction. •
The attached Final Subdivision Plan for Remington Oaks was reviewed by the Development
Review Committee (DRC) on February 4, 1998. The Committee voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan, subject to the appropriate amendments to the
Developer Agreement being provided in a form ready for adoption with the Final Subdivision Plan
by the City Commission. The First Amendment to Developer Agreement [Burnden Park, Phase I]
is a separate agenda item. All concerns of City Staff and our consultants have been satisfactorily
addressed in these plans.
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING AND RECOMMENDATION:
On February 10, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Final Subdivision
Plan for Remington Oaks on its Consent Agenda. During the proceedings the developer's
representative was present, but the Commission did not have any questions on this item. After a
very brief discussion on other items, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to
recommend approval of all items on the Consent Agenda, including the Final Subdivision Plan for
Remington Oaks, in accordance with sta$'s recommendation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the recommendation of the DRC and the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff
respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Final
Subdivision Plan for Remington Oaks as date stamped received by the City on February 5,
1998, subject to City Commission approval of the First Amendment to Developer
Agreement [Burnden Park, Phase I].
