The project involves multiple planning applications, including a request for Preliminary Plat approval. Discussion As -is, the project consists of three parcels, divided by Greenwood Ave. The Developer is proposing that the City vacate the street and all city easements, and combine the properties into one lot. Greenfield Avenue would terminate as a Hammerhead dead-end. There would be no access from Greenfield Avenue into the plat. All access from the plat would be from Edgewood Drive, as was directed by the City Council at its February 4, 2019 Work Session. Analysis A Preliminary Plat of a Major Subdivision involves the division of property in which more than one additional parcel or lot is created, or which is two acres or larger in size. The subject property is four acres (excluding right-of-way dedication). The property is zoned PUD Planned Unit Development, and guided as Mixed Use PUD in the Comprehensive Plan (2008). Minimum lot size and dimensions are to be determined by the City Council as subject to an approved PUD. The Developer has submitted a Survey, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Grading & Drainage Plan to the City. Staff disseminated plans to applicable departments and agencies for comments. The City has completed a Title Certificate, to be reviewed by the City Attorney. In general, the Preliminary Plat is consistent with the City Code, subject to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) permitting requirements, and any requirements of the County Surveyor. Approval of a Preliminary Plat provides direction from the City to the Developer to prepare Final Plat, to be approved at a later date.
