To: Planning Commission Members From: Justin Fortney, Associate Planner Date: July 23, 2012 Item: Final Plat – 2012-34 – South Oaks 3rd Addition -Greg Jablonske Planning Commission Action
Requested: Greg J Homes of Hastings seeks final plat approval for reconfiguration of 8 single-family lots on South Oaks Drive into 10 lots. Background Information: The 8 lots on South
Oaks Drive were approved in 2003 as 11 townhome lots, but were never recoded with the county. The applicant had them finalized in February this year for recording, but as single family
lots along with some on Bohlken Drive. The applicant would now like to increase the number of lots south of South Oaks drive from 8 to 10. Zoning The proposed 10 lots on South Oaks drive
are zoned R-3 PRD (medium–high density planned residential development) and are surrounded by undeveloped land, single family homes, and townhomes. The Comprehensive Plan guides the
area as medium density residential. Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat approval was granted as part of South Oaks of Hastings 2nd addition on August 4, 2003. The Final Plat is consistent
with the approved Preliminary Plat. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan The applicant is in the process of revising the original grading plan to account for the reduction in
lots along South Oaks Drive. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control plan approval must be obtained by the Public Works Director as a condition of plat approval. Utilities The utility
stubs are in place. Since the number of lots along South Oaks Drive have been reduced there will be extra utilities. Reconfiguration of the line would require digging up the relatively
new road and patching it, which would not be desirable. Unneeded utilities service lines must be capped or tied into adjoining lines to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Planning
Commission Memorandum
An agreement indicating property owner responsibility for unused/abandoned/interconnected utility services lines, and agreeing to pay additional future expenses in the event of failure
of the same unused/abandoned/interconnected utility service lines must be filed at the county with the associated property. All recording expenses for these agreements shall be paid
by the developer. Fees Park dedication and sewer interceptor fees were paid when the previous final plats were released. Landscape Plan The landscape plan identified boulevard tree plantings
every 50 lineal feet along right-of-way for the townhome development, planted at 2.0 caliper inches. The current requirement for single family lots it one boulevard tree and one front
yard tree per lot. Recommended Action: Approval of the final plat of SOUTH OAKS OF HASTINGS 3rd ADDITION to the City Council, subject to the following conditions: 1) Conformance with
the Planning Commission Staff Report and plans dated July 23rd 2012. 1) Adherence to the conditions of the South Oaks 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat 2) One front yard and boulevard tree
is required for each lot. 3) A revised grading plan must be approved by the City Engineer. 4) Unneeded utilities service lines must be capped or tied into adjoining lines to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer. 5) An agreement indicating property owner responsibility for unused/abandoned/interconnected utility services lines, and agreeing to pay additional future expenses
in the event of failure of the same unused/abandoned/interconnected utility service lines must be filed at the county with the associated property. All recording expenses for these agreements
shall be paid by the developer. 6) A mailbox grouping plan must be submitted and approved by the Public Works director. 7) Any uncompleted site work (including landscaping) must be escrowed
at 125 percent of the estimated value prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 8) Submission of an electronic copy of all plan sets (TIF, PDF, or similar format) prior to release
