Highland Meadows West 2nd Addn. November 8, 2000 page 2 a different name as part of the first plat. This 2nd Addn. plat will change it to Arlo Lane to coincide with the street on the southern border of Bluebill Ponds. Lots, Blocks The required minimum lot area is 10,800 sf of buildable land per lot in the R -1 zone. Three of the four lots meet this requirement. Lot 1 Block 1 is large enough to have the required buildable area even though part of the lot includes a pond. However, Lot 3 Block 1 may not have enough land above the pond elevation. As a condition of approval, staff is recommending that this lot be increased in size to meet the minimum lot area. This can be done on an amended plat drawing before going to City Council for approval. All lots meet the minimum width and depth requirements, of 80 ft. and 135 ft., respectively. The blocks being created are small and are well within the maximum length of 1500 ft. Future development will be reviewed to ensure compliance. This 2nd Addn. plat is being created from Outlot E, Highland Meadows West. The remainder of that outlot will be renamed Outlot A, Highland Meadows West 2nd Addn. The submitted plans show a small Outlot B. There is nothing gained by creating this separate lot. It should be part of the larger Outlot A. Transportation, Roads, Access, Circulation The existing roads were created with the Highland Meadows West plat. Marilyn Drive will be extended about 50 feet to provide full frontage for the new lots in the 2nd Addn. The road shown as Arlo Lane was named Elizabeth Lane in the previous plat. It will be renamed Arlo Lane with the new plat. This renaming results from the new east -west street along the south edge of Bluebill Ponds. In the future, that street will connect to this plat. The street in Bluebill Ponds was named Arlo Lane, and the developer of Highland Meadows West has agreed to rename Elizabeth Lane for consistency. This small, four -lot plat does not create any concern about additional traffic and circulation as it is only adding two house lots. However, before any additional development can occur in the large outlot, circulation in the area, including access to Main St. and the Bluebill Ponds neighborhood, must be resolved. This will be a condition of approval for this preliminary plat of the 2nd Addn. Utilities Stormwater Management and Wetlands: No wetlands exist on this location. A pond is proposed that will cover a portion of Lot 1 and Lot 3 of Block 1, as noted above. As can be seen by the City Engineer memo (attached), several pieces of information are lacking. This information will be required, with revised plans, before City Council approval. The relevant condition of approval is intended to provide enough time for staff to review the revised plans. • • • A
