• • • Outlots. A number of outlots are being proposed as part of the subdivision. These outlots contain wetland areas and drainage swales. Determination as to future ownership and use of the outlots must be defined as part of the preliminary plat and a determination is needed regarding if they should be dedicated to the City as green space or held in private ownership by the homeowners' association. Carl Street. Carl Street right -of -way traverses the proposed plat. A portion of Carl Street will require vacation with the platting of the new Carl Street alignment. The vacation of this right -of -way will have to be done through a public hearing held by the City Council. The Planning Commission will need to make a finding that the vacation of this right -of -way is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that there is no current or future anticipated public need to return the right -of -way. In review of the proposed street alignments, we feel that with the platting of the new Carl Street alignment, the old right -of -way is no longer necessary for either street or utility purposes and vacation would be appropriate. PDO. The applicant has shown an area of the plat intended for the construction of accessory buildings that would be used as hanger space for residents who wish to purchase a lot and still have access to the airport. The hanger space is located on Lot 16, Block 6 of the 2nd Addition. The hangars are located in an area that is encumbered by the William Brothers pipeline, a gas line easement. In consideration of the land use, the proposed hangar space may be a more appropriate use in this location rather than introducing single family homes in close proximity to a major gas pipeline. Access to the hangars would be provided through the airport. If this were to proceed ahead, we would ask that a detail of the hangar construction, including elevations, be provided to insure that the hangars would be designed in a manner that is compatible and complementary to the surrounding single family homes. Additionally, we would like to see an association established for the hangars that would outline the terms under which maintenance and ownership would be established. Access into the hangar area should also be provided via Carl Street for emergency vehicles, as well as general user consideration. CONCLUSION Staff has determined that the application is incomplete. Initially, the submittal was reviewed in July of 2002. At that time, issues of concern, comments, and an outline of the submittals needed to complete application were provided. To date, not all the information has been received. The City staff recommends that the City open the public hearing at the August Planning and Zoning meeting, take public comment, and then continue the public hearing to the September meeting and direct the applicant to provide the following information: 1. Grading and drainage plans for the entire preliminary plat. 4
