BACKGROUND: The developers of Grand Aspen Subdivision are requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat, consisting of one lot and one outlot, located in a RH (Residential High Density) district. The acreage for the lot is 2.07 acres, and the remainder of the site is being platted as a 36.34 acre outlot. The site is currently undeveloped. Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). This proposed subdivision is consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan designation of High-Density Residential. The known uses on this site are a school on Lot 1 and a golf course on part of the remainder of the site. These uses are consistent with the type of uses that could be expected in the Residential High Density area. Zoning. This property is zoned RH, Residential High Density, which is consistent with the intended use of this property. Both a school and a golf course are permitted uses in the zone. Lot 1 meets the minimum lot size and minimum width requirements in the zone. The remaining portion of the property is designated as Outlot A, which cannot be built upon unless it is replatted into one or more lots. Utilities. The utilities, a 12-inch water main and an 8-inch sanitary sewer main, located adjacent to this site in the South 16th Street right-of-way, are adequate to serve the needs of this future development. The developer must pay the front foot connection fee for the 12-inch water main prior to filing the Final Plat. All storm water will be channeled to the proposed retention area, located on Outlot A, and to the low areas on the site, where the storm water will be filtered prior to discharging into the Squaw Creek basin. Street and Vehicular Access. Access to the subdivision will come from South 161h Street. One driveway access will be permitted near the western edge of Lot 1, and a second driveway will be permitted into Outlot A opposite Fountain View Drive. No other driveways will be permitted from South 161h Street into this subdivision. The driveway access to Outlot A can also serve Lot 1, if an easement is extended to the west from the driveway to the east property line of Lot 1. The two driveway locations shall be noted on the Final Plat with station numbers. .. i South 16th Street is being widened to four lanes as development occurs. The developer of this subdivision is responsible for the cost of constructing a 12-foot wide lane on the north side of South 16th Street adjacent to Lot 1, because it is the only buildable lot in the subdivision. A bicycle path is planned along the north side of South 16th Street. The developer is also responsible for the construction of the eight-foot wide bicycle path where it abuts Lot 1. The bicycle path will be constructed in lieu of a sidewalk and will serve both pedestrians and bicyclists. Cy-Ride will be extending a route along South 16th Street next year. A Cy-ride stop is planned on the north side of South 16th Street west of where Creekside Drive intersects with South 16th Street. The developer shall be responsible for paving the gap between the bicycle path and the curb for a distance of 30 feet to serve as a transit stop. The following stipulations should be placed on the approval of the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision to assure that it will be developed consistent with the intent of the Subdivision Ordinance and other ordinances, adopted plans, and policies of the City of Ames: 1. That the developer shall pay the front foot connection fee for the water main that is located in the South 16th Street right-of-way prior to filing the Final Plat. 2. That the two driveway access locations shall be noted on the Final Plat with station numbers. 3. That the developer shall be responsible for the construction of a 12-foot wide lane on the north side of South 16th Street adjacent to Lot 1. 4. That the developer shall be responsible for the construction of an 8-foot wide bicycle path adjacent to Lot 1. 5. That the developer shall be responsible for the construction of a transit stop. 6. A Development Agreement shall be signed prior to the submittal of the Final Plat, documenting the responsibilities of the developer and the City in development of this site. RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION: The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this request at their meeting of March 21, 2001. The developer appeared at the meeting and requested that the Commission consider modifying Stipulations 1, 4, and 5. He requested that additional language be added to Stipulation 1 to require that the water connection fee be applicable to the frontage adjacent to Lot 1 only and not to the full width of the Subdivision along South 16th Street. 2 He also requested that Stipulation 4 be modified to state that the "developer will provide (a) bike path in conjunction with the city's installation of(a) bike path on their property to the west". In addition, he requested that Stipulation 5, which stated that the developer shall be responsible for the installation of a Cy-Ride stop adjacent to Lot 1, be deleted. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the proposed amendments to the stipulations presented by the developer, and then recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision with the six stipulations, as presented by staff. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council can approve the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision with the six stipulations above. 2. The City Council can deny the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision. 3. The City Council can modify this request and approve the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision. 4. Action on this request can be postponed and referred back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is recommended that Alternative #1 be adopted. Alternative #1 is an approval of the Preliminary Plat for Grand Aspen Subdivision with the six stipulations. This one-lot subdivision is consistent with the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and the adopted plans and policies of the City, provided that the "stipulations listed above are incorporated into the approval. 3 ---------------- Om,W�Rr•TLPmx,. --� SHEET IND X / PRELIMINARY PUT..................... t�d 1 PRELIMINARY PUT A AERIAL LAYOUT....................................x P I PUT Of SURVEY............_...................................„.....................3 Ar/ �`.
