BACKGROUND: Subdivision Proposal. The Developer is requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat for South Fork Townhomes Subdivision (a replat of Lots 27, 28, 29, and 30 of South Fork Subdivision, First Addition), including approximately 19,424 square feet. The purpose for the subdivision is to take the four existing platted lots and divide these lots into six total lots for the construction of single-family attached dwellings. The Preliminary Plat divides the subject property, which consists of four existing lots, into six lots. The size of each lot is described as follows: Lot 1: 5,984 sq. ft. Lot 2: 2,520 sq. ft. Lot 3: 2,520 sq. ft. Lot 4: 2,520 sq. ft. Lot 5: 2,520 sq. ft. Lot 6: 3,360 sq. ft. Total Sq. Ft.: 19,424 sq. ft. (.45 acres) Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). The Preliminary Plat is consistent with the Land Use Policy Plan Map designation of"Village/Suburban Residential'. Zoning. The subject property is zoned as "FS-RM" (Suburban Residential Medium Density). The minimum lot area for single-family attached dwellings in the"FS-RM"zone is 2,400 square feet for exterior units and 1,200 square feet for interior units. The minimum lot frontage on a public street is 24 feet. Land uses proposed for the lots in this subdivision must receive approval of a Major Site Development Plan by the City Council, prior to the issuance of a building permit. Density. The Zoning Ordinance requires the minimum density in areas zoned as"FS-RM" to be 10.0 dwelling units per net acre. The density proposed for this subdivision is 13.33 dwelling units per net acre. This subdivision proposal meets the minimum density requirements in the approved Master Plan for South Fork Subdivision. Existing Land Uses. The existing platted lots are undeveloped, at this time. Surrounding land to the south, east, and west is also undeveloped as part of the South Fork Subdivision. Utilities.The municipal utilities in the area are adequate and can be extended to serve the proposed subdivision. Storm Water Management. A storm water management plan has been previously completed for the South Fork Subdivision, of which these parcels are included. The rate of run-off from the development is not allowed to increase above the pre-development level of run-off. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access. Vehicular access to the subdivision is from Dotson Drive and Marigold Drive (existing streets in the South Fork Subdivision), and from the alley along the south boundary of the lots in the proposed subdivision. At the time of development, driveway access to each lot must be from the alley, not from Marigold Drive. Fire. The estimated fire response time to the subject area ranges from three to four minutes. This is-well within the maximum response time of five (5) minutes. It is the City Council's goal to have a minimum of 85% of the land area in Ames within a maximum fire department response time of five (5) minutes. Stipulations.
