HomeMy WebLinkAboutA001 - Council Action Form dated October 13, 2026ITEM #:39 DATE:10-13-26 DEPT:P&H SUBJECT:SUNSET RIDGE NORTH SECOND ADDITION FINAL PLAT COUNCIL ACTION FORM BACKGROUND: Hunziker Land Development, LLC has submitted a final subdivision plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition. The plat will create 15 lots for residential development, one street lot (Lot A) for the extension of Greene Street and Ellston Avenue to serve the lots, and one outlot (Outlot WW) for future development to the west. Of the 15 lots, eight will be for attached single-family dwellings. These will be on the north side of Greene Street. The remaining lots will be for detached single-family dwellings. The development is located immediately north of the Sunset Ridge Subdivision. All proposed lots will front on Greene Street. Ellston Avenue will be extended north to intersect with Greene Street as part of the development. PRELIMINARY PLAT CONDITIONS: The preliminary plat was approved on June 27, 2023, with two conditions: 1. The first condition required that a sidewalk be designed within the private open space of Outlot C of the first addition that would connect Greene Street with a future City park to the north. The sidewalk was required due to the length of Greene Street exceeding City standards for maximum block length and to address the usable open space requirement of FS-RL zoning. A decision regarding the sidewalk design was deferred with the first addition to the second addition to allow the City to complete a Park Master Plan to identify an appropriate connection point. Although the master planning process for the park is anticipated to begin in spring 2027, Parks and Recreation staff has determined that the Outlot C sidewalk will stub to the park boundary at the optimal connection point. This sidewalk stub will be built within 36 months consistent with the standard for an Agreement for Sidewalks and Street Trees. 2. The second condition required a street tree planting plan be provided prior to final plat approval. The plan must coordinate utility and driveway locations for single-family attached homes. Staff has reviewed and approved the plan. 1 SIDEWALK DEFERRAL OF OUTLOT WW: The applicant proposes to complete construction of sidewalks within Outlot WW to make sidewalk connections to the south and east. The improvement will extend partially along the frontage to connect an accessible ramp on the east side of Ellston. Frontage of Outlot WW along Ellston will also be completed to connect south to Sunset Ridge. The remaining frontage of Outlot WW will be deferred until future development occurs. FINANCIAL SECURITY OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS: The developer has provided a letter of credit in the amount of $90,917 for the completion of public improvements for utility extensions, sidewalks, paving, street trees, etc., which the City Council is asked to accept. All improvements are required to be completed within three years. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Final Plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition, accept the Public Improvements Agreement, and find that the Final Plat conforms to relevant and applicable design standards, ordinances, policies, and plans. 2. Deny the Final Plat for Sunset Ridge North Subdivision, Second Addition based upon consistency with the approved preliminary plat or on the basis that the development creates a burden on existing public improvements or creates a need for new public improvements that have not yet been installed. 3. Defer action on this request and refer it back to City staff and/or the applicant for additional information. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION: The proposed second addition includes phasing of improvements, easements, and right-of-way dedication to address installed and planned utility infrastructure coordinated with the establishment of developable lots. The conditions from the 2023 preliminary plat approval have been fulfilled with this Addition. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1, as described above.
