COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: DEERY SUBDIVISION, PLAT 2, MINOR FINAL PLAT FOR 1810 SE 16TH
STREET
BACKGROUND:
The property owners of 1810 SE 16th Street, AmKin18, LLC and Ambrose Properties, LC
are requesting approval of a Final Plat for Deery Subdivision Plat 2, which is a Minor
Subdivision of 4.55 acres. A minor subdivision includes three, or fewer, lots and does not
require additional public improvements. A minor subdivision does not require a
Preliminary Plat, and may be approved by the City Council as a Final Plat, only, subject
to the applicant completing the necessary requirements.
The proposed Final Plat divides Parcel A into two new buildable lots. Deery Subdivision
is generally located between Southeast 16th Street and Highway 30 and west of the
interchange of Highway 30 and S. Dayton Avenue and is located within the "HOC"
(Highway-Oriented Commercial) Zoning District (see Attachment A — Location & Zoning
Map)
Parcel A includes approximately 4.55 acres and is proposed to be divided into Lot 1 (2.96
acres), and Lot 2 (1.59 acres). Parcel A is located at 1810 SE 16th Street, and was recently
received site plan approval for a new Spring Hill Suites Hotel. The hotel is to be located
on the area identified as the new Lot 1. Construction has not yet begun. The future
development of Lot 2 is yet to be determined.
Both Lot 1 and 2 will each have access off of SE 16th Street. An internal drive may also
connect the two lots to allow internal circulation. However, no cross access is required
with the proposed plat. A shared access easement does exist along the east property line
of proposed Lot 2 that was required with the prior subdivision approval. Public utilities
serve both proposed lots. Sidewalk has not yet been constructed along the frontage of
SE 16th Street.
The applicant has provided an agreement for the installation of street trees and sidewalks.
The agreement requires street tree planting and sidewalk installation on the south side of
the S.E. 16th Street right-of-way prior to occupancy of structures on each lot as they
develop. No financial security is required. The proposed lots are also subject to the
original Deery Subdivision and Master Plan requirements for public improvements,
common area, and easements.
After reviewing the proposed Final Plat of Deery Subdivision, Plat 2, staff finds that it
complies with all relevant and applicable design and improvement standards of the
Subdivision Regulations, to the City's Land Use Policy Plan, to other adopted City plans,
ordinances and standards, and to the City's Zoning Ordinance.
I
ALTERNATIVES:
1 .Approve the Final Plat of Deery Subdivision, Plat 2 based upon the findings and
conclusions stated above.
2. Deny the Final Plat of Deery Subdivision, Plat 2 and find that the proposed
subdivision does not comply with applicable ordinances, standards or plans.
3. Refer this request back to staff or the applicant for additional information.
CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City staff has evaluated the proposed Final Plat of Deery Subdivision, Plat 2, and
determined that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Municipal Code.
The applicant has provided an agreement for the installation of street trees and sidewalks.
The agreement requires street tree planting and sidewalk installation on the south side of
the S.E. 16'h Street right-of-way prior to occupancy of structures on each lot as they
develop. No financial security is required. Other public improvements required by the
original Deery Subdivision and Master Plan requirements have either been completed or
deferred.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt
Alternative #1 as described above.
