Setbacks Lot Lot Area Width Front Side Side Rear Corner 11,000 s ft. 85 ft 30 ft. 10 ft. 30 ft. 30 ft. The proposed lots are consistent with the lot requirements of the R-1 District. However, Section 1006.020.D of the Subdivision Ordinance states that side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines. The proposed subdivision contains two side lot lines, one between Lots 2 and 3 and one between Lots 4 and 5 that are not at right angles to Edgerton Street. City staff would advise that these side lot lines be redrawn to be located perpendicular to Edgerton Street. At issue in this plat is the grade between much of the site and Edgerton, the primary access street. Access to Edgerton can only be achieved at the northern- or southern- most portions of the property. Access. The subject site abuts two collector roads -Little Canada Road (County Road 21) to the south and Edgerton Street (County Road 58) to the east. Section 1006.020.K of the Subdivision Ordinance recommends that lots platted along collector streets be platted in a manner that provides for turn-around access and egress on each lot. The ordinance further provides that all lots must be designed so that access can be provided from the street on which the lot has its frontage. In this case, driveways are shown to provide access, although for a few of the lots, the driveways are sharply skewed to comply with this requirement. As a part of the plan, a new lot will be platted along Little Canada Road, and a portion of the existing driveway will be abandoned in that area. The access to the existing home is proposed to remain from Edgerton Street. Construction Plans. The applicant has submitted preliminary construction plans for the proposed preliminary plat. These plans address grading and utility construction. These plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Easements. The preliminary plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of each lot as required by Section 1006.040 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Drainage and utility easements must also be designated over the two proposed ponding areas. All easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Sidewalks. The proposed plans do not indicate the addition of any sidewalks. The City's proposed Trail System Plan shows trails along both Little Canada Road and Edgerton Street. Park and Trail Dedication. Section 1007 of the Subdivision Ordinance outlines the City's park and trail dedication requirements. The applicant is not proposing to dedicate any land for park and trail use as a part of this plat. The Park Commission should make a recommendation related to cash or land dedication for this plat. 2
