ANALYSIS Lots. Costa Estates now is proposed to consist of 44 lots on three blocks. The original proposal consisted of 48 lots. All lots as proposed meet minimum lot size requirements for both lot width and square footage. Access. As previously stated, access to this site is a concern for the interior lots as Noel Drive needs additional right -of -way width at the north and south ends of the Costa property to become a through street. The new plat submitted follows guidelines suggested by the City Council. The proposed Noel Drive has now been renamed Costa Lane. Costa Lane is proposed to intersect Allen Avenue to the north, run south through Costa Estates and then west to intersect DeSoto Street. In order for Costa Lane to join Alien Avenue, 20 feet of additional right -of -way must be acquired from the three property owners whose lots abut the existing 30 foot right -of- way; these properties being the Bruhn, Wright, and Plessel properties. These property owners seem to be in favor of Costa Lane continuing to Allen Avenue. At the City Council hearing regarding this matter on 22 August, Mr. Clarence Bruhn indicated that he would sell his entire back lot. The purchaser could then dedicate the additional right -of -way that is needed. Mr. DeBace reported that Mr. Wright is willing to dedicate his 20 feet of right -of -way for Costa Lane. DeSoto Street, which will be used by Costa Estates, has only a 33 foot right -of -way. Fifty feet is required and must be obtained before final approval. The Costas have proposed that the additional right -of -way width be acquired from the City park across the street. All property acquisitions and dedications must occur prior to final plat approval. Grading and Drainage. A grading and drainage plan has not yet been submitted to this office. These plans must also be submitted to and reviewed by the City Engineer. Preliminary plat approval will be contingent upon his review and comments. 2 Page 33
