CHRONOLOGY: December 13, 2005 - City received subdivision plan application package 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 April 5 2006 Regular Item 302 Page 2 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 ofthe 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 of the 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 (2 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 ofthe 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 utilitys 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. April 5 2006 Regular Item 302 Page 3 3.
