IT IS A REPLAT OF LOT 1 OF PETE COOPER SUBDIVISION. ACTION FORM SUMMARY: This is a request to waive a sidewalk requirement and approve the Preliminary Plat for the East Lincolnway Development Subdivision, which is a replat of Lot 1, Pete Cooper Subdivision.AT1ft, W9 ive-o ubd'iVis'o� ocate on %29 a��gs��etween�E�s�I: �V11::aa�a�cLSoutfSe�stF�iftl�Str�et' Staff recommends a partial waiver of the sidewalk requirement. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat with stipulations. BACKGROUND: The developers are requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat for a five-lot subdivision, located in the General Industrial (GI) zoning district. This site includes16.29 acres that is currently platted as Lot 1 of the Pete Cooper Subdivision. There are four existing principal buildings on this property, and Lots 1-4 have been created so that each principal building is on an individual lot. These four lots range in size from .26 acre to 1.26 acres. Lot 5 is an undeveloped lot that is 14.01 acres in size. ANALYSIS: Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). This proposed subdivision is consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan designation for this area, which is designated as General Industrial. The existing and previous development on this site is and has been consistent with the type of uses that are intended under a General Industrial designation. It is the intention of the developers to continue to use this property for industrial type uses or uses consistent with an industrial designation. Zoning. This property is zoned GI; General Industrial, which is consistent with the existing and intended use of this property. The proposed lots meet the minimum width requirements in the zone, and there are no minimum size requirements. Utilities. The utilities adjacent to this site are adequate to serve the needs of this future development. Depending upon the type of use that occupies the principal building on Lot 4, an 8-inch water main and hydrant and/or a sprinkler system may be required due to the distance from the existing hydrant at the northeast corner of Lot 2. The following note should be placed on the Final Plat regarding Lot 4: "Medium and high hazardous uses shall require a hydrant and/or sprinkler system". Storm water management is being taken care of through an area wide system that was designed as part of the Pete Cooper Subdivision. Additional 20-foot wide drainage easements are needed along the north side of Lot 5, and along the east and west sides of Lot 5 to the north of the existing drainage easements shown on the Preliminary Plat. These drainage easements shall be shown on the Final Plat. Street and Vehicular Access. Access to Lots 1-4 comes from the frontage road along the south side of East Lincoln Way, and access to Lot 5 will come from Southeast Fifth Street. Lots 2, 3, and 4 will need cross easements among these lots for fire access and access to existing parking. The cross easement area should be a minimum of 25 feet wide and it shall include the 25-foot wide "stem" of Lot 4 and the north 25 feet of main on part of Lot 4. Such cross easements shall be submitted as part of the Final Plat documents for this subdivision.

At the present time there are no bicycle paths along East Lincoln Way or Southeast Fifth Street. A bicycle path is planned in the future along the south side of East Lincoln Way as part of the future widening of that street. Such construction will not be the responsibility of adjacent development. At this time there is no Cy-Ride route adjacent to this property. 2 Other Considerations. Sometime in the past, paving was installed in the right-of-way between the edge of the frontage road and the property line adjacent to Lots 2 and 3 for the purpose of accessing head-in parking. An encroachment permit is needed from the City Council to continue to use this area for maneuvering for parking. Such encroachment permit shall be requested by the applicant and received prior to the approval of the Final Plat. In the event that the City Council does not approve the encroachment permit, the owners of the property of proposed Lots 2 and 3 could be required to remove the 'maneuvering.area and parking spaces that currently encroach within the public right-of-way. Also private cross easements are needed for any utility service lines that cross lot lines. Since this site was all one lot originally, it is likely that water service lines and sanitary service lines are not entirely on the proposed platted lots with the principal buildings that they serve. Such easements shall be included with the Final Plat documents when they are filed with the City. Although the Preliminary Plat documents include the name "East Lincolnway Development Corporation Subdivision", the developer has indicated that they intend to drop the word "Corporation" from the subdivision name. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff believes that this Preliminary Plat for East Lincolnway Development Subdivision is consistent with the intent and provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and the policies of the City. The proposed subdivision would be consistent provided the City Council makes a decision with respect to the request to waive the sidewalk requirement for this subdivision. The staff recommends that the following stipulations be placed on the approval of the Preliminary Plat: 1. That a note shall be placed on the Final Plat regarding Lot 4 stating that "Medium and high hazardous uses shall require a hydrant and/or sprinkler system". 2. That on the Final Plat, 20-foot wide drainage easements shall be added to the north, east, and west sides of Lot 5 to the north of the existing drainage-easements. 3. That the developers shall provide cross easements among Lots 2, 3, and 4 for fire access and access to parking. Such easements shall be a minimum of 25 feet wide and include,the "stem" of Lot 4 and the north 25 feet of the main portion of Lot 4. 4. That the developers shall seek and receive an Encroachment Permit for the use of the paved portion of the right-of-way adjacent to Lots 2 and 3 for maneuvering for head-in parking. This shall be done prior to approval of the Final Plat. 5. That private cross easements shall be provided for all service lines that cross lot lines. Such easements shall be submitted with Final Plat documents at the time they are filed with the City. - 3 RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of December 61 2000, and approval of this Preliminary Plat is recommended with the following stipulations: 1. That a note shall be placed on the Final Plat regarding Lot 4 stating that "Medium and high hazardous uses shall require a hydrant and/or sprinkler system". 2. That on the Final Plat, 20-foot wide drainage easements shall be added to the north, east, and west sides of Lot 5 to the north of the existing drainage easements. 3. That the developers shall provide cross easements among Lots 2, 3, and 4 for fire access and access to parking. Such easements shall be a minimum of 25 feet wide and include the "stem" of Lot 4 and the north 25 feet of the main portion of Lot 4. 4. That the developers shall seek and receive an Encroachment Permit for the use of the paved portion of the right-of-way adjacent to Lots 2 and 3 for maneuvering for head-in parking. This shall be done prior to approval of the Final Plat. 5. That private cross easements shall be provided for all service lines that cross lot lines. Such easements shall be submitted with Final Plat documents at the time they are filed with the City. Approval is also recommended for a waiver of the sidewalk requirement for Lots 2, 3, and 4 and requires that the sidewalks be installed adjacent to Lots 1 and 5. ALTERNATIVES. 1. The City Council can approve the Preliminary Plat for East Lincolnway Development Subdivision with the five stipulations and agree to waive the sidewalk requirement. 2. The City Council can approve the Preliminary Plat for East Lincolnway Development Subdivision with the five stipulations and direct that the sidewalks be installed for all proposed lots. 3.
