REQUEST: The Community Development Department- Planning Division requests that the
Commission consider the Final Subdivision / Engineering Plans for the proposed Talis Crossing
Subdivision.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to hear and review the proposed final
subdivision/engineering plans for the 4 lot single family residential subdivision on 9.03 acres
along the east side of Fisher Road, between the Tusca Trail easement and the Dunmar
subdivision.
APPLICABLE LAW:
Section 9-71. When final development plan is to be filed; extension.
Section 9-72. Processing of final plans.
Section 9-73. Form and contents of final development plans.
Section 9-74. Action on final development plan; expiration of approval.
Section 20-317. Application for construction.
CHRONOLOGY:
Dec. 13. 2005- First Submittal of Subdivision Plan Application Received
Apr. 5.2006- P&Z Board heard the request and recommended Approval
CONSIDERATIONS:
The wooded site with an existing 175 foot wide power line easement is bounded by Dunmar
Estates on the north, Fisher Road (a county roadway) on the west, and the Tusca Trail access
easement on the south and east. It has a Rural Residential Future Land Use (FLU) designation
and is within the RC-I zoning district. All lots are 2.00 acres or larger, consistent with the 1 acre
minimum lot size for both the FLU designation and the zoning district. All lots exceed the 120'
width at the building line requirement for the zoning district.
Central water will be extended south by the applicant from an existing 8" potable water main,
approximately 350' north of the property, within the Fisher Road right-of-way to each of the lots.
The individual lot owners will extend the water line from this water main into their lots when
they obtain the building permits and build their homes. Two new fire hydrants will be installed

to allow adequate fire protection for the subdivision. Sewer will be provided by individual septic
systems since no central sewer system is available.
The treed site contains no wetlands or floodplain area, but does contain a number of gopher
tortoises, an animal species listed by the state as a species of special concern. Most of these
gopher tortoises are presently located on the northern portion ofthe site. Gopher tortoises will be
addressed with the development of the individual lots before building permits are obtained or
clearing may occur.
No traffic study was required for the subdivision. Four single family lots can be expected to
generate 38 (4 x 9.57) average trips per day. A trip is a single or one-directional vehicle
movement with either the origin or the destination (exiting or entering) inside the subject area.
Three of the proposed lots will have driveway cuts onto Fisher Road (two will jointly use one
driveway), while the southern-most lot will have a driveway cut onto the 30' wide Tusca Trail
easement (the applicant states she has legal access to the southern section of Tusca Trail, but
does not have legal access to the portion of Tusca Trail located on the east side of the site). AS'
wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along the east side of Fisher Road, by the individual
lot owners, concurrent with the individual houses.
A general grading plan with a swale system is provided for the lots, to ensure adequate storm-
water management and keep individual lot owners from creating problems for their neighbors.
Each lot must maintain a minimum of 80 percent pervious area, pursuant to Section 20-147 of
the Code. The final plat will create the proposed drainage and utility easement depicted on the
engineering plans, along with the new lots. Each lot will be cleared commensurate with
obtaining a building permit. No clearing is proposed until the individual permits are approved.
FINDINGS:
1. The subdivision will connect to City potable water. The City has adequate capacity.
Individual septic systems will be utilized since sanitary sewer is not available to the site.
2. The site includes existing trees and gopher tortoises.
3. The 9.03 acre site is within the RC-I zoning district, has a Rural Residential Future Land Use
(FLU) designation.
4. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and City Code.
