• ISSUES ANALYSIS • • Processing. To accommodate the proposed development, the following approvals will be necessary: 1. Rezone from R, Rural to R -1, Single Family. 2. Review and approval of the preliminary plat. 3. If the airplane hangars are found to be an acceptable use, a PDO will be required to accommodate the proposed airplane hangars and insure there will be proper maintenance associated with these accessory buildings. 4. There is a need to vacate a portion of Carl Street that would not be utilized if the subdivision is approved. Said vacation would be done as a condition of final plat approval. Rezoning. In review of the rezoning application, we find that the new land use plan guides this area for low density residential. The R -1, Single Family Residential District is consistent with this land use classification. Additionally, MUSA would need to be extended to this subdivision as final plats are reviewed and approved. In addition to consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, the extension of the R -1 zoning would be consistent with the zoning that is already in place on Behms Century Farms 1st through 5th Additions located to the south. The proposal appears to be the logical extension of the low density land use pattern. However, we have not had the opportunity to conduct a thorough review of the application to determine if the proposed plats meet the requirements for the R -1 District. Preliminary Plat. In review of the preliminary plat, the following issues need further attention: 1. The proximity to the Lino Airpark raises issue as to whether the plat has been fully designed in compliance with required airport safety zones to insure that flight patterns will not disturb the future residents of the single family lots. 2. The proposed Behms Century Farms 6th through 10th Additions surround a number of lot exceptions that contain unsewered residential properties. The application has not provided any type of conceptual plan that would illustrate future subdivision or extension of utilities into these areas. In accordance with the City's Subdivision Ordinance, where a plat abuts undeveloped properties. A concept plan can be required and extension of streets should be considered in conjunction with the plat design. 3. There is a need for a park in this area to accommodate the new subdivision and residents that would live within the plat. A detailed park proposal should be outlined for City staff and Planning and Zoning Board consideration. At this point, City staff has not seen any proposal in that regard. 2
