Right of Way shall be dedicated to the public: <br /> Cul-de-Sac 68 ft.radius(turnaround) <br /> City Collector Street 66' <br /> City Minor Street 66' <br /> Staff Findings: Staff has reviewed the application and proposes the following findings for the <br /> Commission to consider. <br /> 1. The land falls in the Medium Density Residential zoning district,which is not described <br /> by the previous Ordinance.The previous zoning map includes a description of the <br /> Medium Density Residential zone and sets a minimum lot size. <br /> 2. The land is suitable for development in its natural state for residential use with minimum <br /> alterations as the land is generally flat and does not contain any natural features that <br /> would limit development. <br /> 3. Each lot has adequate space for the placement oftwo standard sewage treatment systems. <br /> The soil survey indicates that this area has soils that are"Very Suitable"for septic tank <br /> and drainfield applications,however soil borings were not provided and would need to be <br /> completed prior to septic installation. <br /> 4. The governing Ordinance does not provide lot use or dimension standards for a Medium <br /> Density Residential zone.However the zoning map indicates that the minimum lot size <br /> for this zone is 20,000 square feet.Each of the lots meets this requirement as they all are <br /> approximately 31,078 square feet.Setbacks are also indicated on the plat and each lot still <br /> provides adequate space for development. <br /> 5. Each lot has at least thirty-three feet of frontage on right-of-way for the proposed Josh <br /> Court. <br /> 6. The proposed Josh Court will not have a gradient in excess of 15%as this area is <br /> relatively flat and would not require any gradients near that high. <br /> 7. The right-of--way for Josh Court has been extended through the property to provide public <br /> access to the adjacent property to the north should this property be developed in the <br /> future. <br /> July 2005 Staff Report 1-2 <br />
