HomeMy WebLinkAboutA022 - Council Action Form dated July 28, 1992 (large map not scanned) ITEM #: DATE:' 07/28/92 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: Resolution Approving a Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) for Meadow Lane Subdivision Located East of South Duff Avenue and North of South Sixteenth Street. ACTION FORM SUMMARY., This is a one (1) lot subdivision that involves the consolidation of all the property that is part of the Meadow Lane Mobile Home Park. The Planning__ and.Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of this CDP request. BACKGROUND: The property involved includes the current 163 unit Meadow Lane Mobile' Home Park,' containing 17.74 acres; a shop area, located on 2.01 acres; and a proposed 2.84 acre, 15 unit mobile home park expansion. This will be a one lot subdivision, which. will include all of the mobile home park property. Platting of this property is necessary because Section 29.9(5) states that not more than two buildings shall be permitted on any tract or parcel of land until the same has been platted in accordance with the laws of the State of Iowa, and the developer is intending to expand the mobile home park to add 15 additional mobile homes. (Note: A mobile home is consid- -ered a building under the definition in the zoning ordinance.) Concurrent , with this request for CDP approval, the developer is also requesting approval of an R-5 plan for 1.5 additional mobile home spaces. ANALYSIS: Land Use Policy Plan. The existing Land Use Policy Plan designates' this site as suitable for low-density residential. This designation was a recent change in the LUPP from a Commercial Service designation to low-density residential to allow the expansion of the mobile home. Zoning History. This property is currently zoned R-5 (Mobile Home) and G-C (General 'Commercial). The expansion area of the mobile home park -was rezoned from G-C to R-5 in February' of 1992. .The remainder of the mobile home park has been zoned RR-5 since at least 1983 and the shop area in the northeast corner has been zoned G-C since 1980. Utilities. Water: . 2 Y Existing 12-inch water main. in South 16th Street. 14-inch water main in South Duff Avenue. 6-inch water main extending north from South 16th Street. 3-inch water main extending east from South Duff Avenue. Proposed 6-inch. water main on the east side of Cardinal Avenue Sanitary Sewer: Existing 36-inch sanitary sewer main and a 54-inch sanitary sewer main extending in an easement through the east- portion of the site. 6-inch and 10-inch laterals extending off of the 36-inch main to serve the existing mobile home park. 8-inch sanitary sewer main in South 16th Street. Proposed 6-inch sanitary sewer main on both sides of' Cardinal Drive to serve the proposed 15 unit addition to the mobile home park. Storm Sewer: Existing 18-inch storm sewer in South 16th Street. Proposed 18-inch storm sewer along the east edge of the new 15 unit mobile home park expansion. A storm water management plan has been prepared for the expansion area of this mobile home park which has been ap- proved by the Municipal Engineer. Electric: There is adequate electric ;service to the area_to serve this subdivision. The utilities are adequate to meet the needs of this project, although some of the sizes of the mains in the -existing mobile home park no longer meet code requirements. 3 Streets and' Vehicular Access. Access to the mobile home park is from a private street that intersects with South Duff Avenue and from Wren Street and Lark Street, which are private streets, that intersect with South Sixteenth Street. Cardinal Road, a new private street, is planned to serve the new expansion area of the mobile home park. There is' a system of internal streets that serves each of the mobile home spaces on the site. A bicycle path will be installed along the .east side of South Duff Avenue as part of the Highway 69 improvement project. The funding for the installation will come from Iowa Department of Transportation monies. This path should be constructed within the next five years. This site is served by Cy-Ride from a stop on South Duff Avenue. The developer is requesting at this time, relief from the City Council from the requirement to install sidewalks along South Duff Avenue and South Sixteenth Street. At the present time no sidewalks exist in this area of the City. A waiver of sidewalks by the City Council does not, preclude the installation of sidewalks at a later date through an assessment process. Sidewalks will be provided on both sides of Cardinal Road, a private street in the expansion area of the mobile home park. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of July 1, 1992 and recommend approval. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City, Council can, approve of the CDP for Meadow Lane Subdivi- sion with the following stipulation as requested by the developer. (a) ' That the City Council waive the requirement for sidewalks along South Duff and South Sixteenth Street. 2. The City Council can approve of the CDP for Meadow Lane .Subdivi- sion with modifications or 'with other stipulations. 3. The City Council can deny this request for approval of the CDP of Meadow Lane Subdivision. 4. The City Council can table this request for additional information. from the developer or City staff. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1. This will allow the developer to proceed with the platting process. Attachment h\bpo\caf\meadow.728 July 21 , 1992 Honorable Mayor Curtis and Members of the City Council , Appearing on the agenda July 28 is a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding Sopers Meadow Subsivision located on Jewel Drive adjacent to Kate Mitchell Elementary School. This request is related to that item. Assuming that the Council approves the Conceptual Development Plan for this subdivision, I request that the Council initiate an assessment program for the construction of the water main, the sanitary sewer main, and the street paving for the portion of Jewel Drive three hundred feet immediately south of the existing Jewel Drive. This is shown on the Conceptual Development Plan as Phase I . Kate Mitchell School is adjacent to Jewel Drive on the west. The area to be assessed would be the School property to the west and the subdivision property to the east. The primary purpose for assessing the capital improvements in the subdivision is to obtain the participation of the School Board. On December 6 , 1967, the School Board purchased the parcel of land for Kate Mitchell from Schill and Hanson Builders, Inc. In Article 11 and Article 12 of the Real Estate Contract ( copy attached ) the School Board and Schill and Hanson agreed that when the " street running along the east line " of the property is constructed, "the Buyer (School Board) will pay one half of the costs of putting in this street and any other assessments or improvements that may be assessed thereto. " It was recognized at that time that the lots on one side of the street could not economically support 100% of the costs of the improvements and that these costs should be shared between the land on both sides of the street. In addition, the School Board property west of Jewel Drive does receive a benefit from the construction of the improvements in that utilities and street paving are made available to serve the property. Therefore I am requesting that the construction costs be assessed to both myself and the School Board. On June 5th of this year I wrote to Mr. Ron Rice, Superintendent, indicating my plan to subdivide the area to the east and to the south of Kate Mitchell School . I indicated that it was my intention to request an assessment program for the capital improvements . I will sign an appropriate waiver of the cost and the value of the school property is sufficient to carry the assessment on the west side. There will be no deficiencies. I will be present at the City Council meeting to answer any questions Russell Soper 1118 Kennedy Ames, Iowa !OW4 ST-V(E BAR ASSOCIATION II FOR THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THE USE Officlas Form No. 21.2 f y C, OF THIS FORM.
