Analysis
SUMMARY:
Consider a request to approve a Final Plat creating a two (2) lot residential subdivision. The property, zoned Planned Development 348 (PD-348) for detached residential purposes, is addressed as 4237 Matthew Road and is generally located south of Bardin Road and east of Matthew Road.
COMMENTS:
This Final Plat will create two (2) residential lots 2.055 acres. The property is being platted in conformance with the dimensional and other standards of the underlying zoning district, PD-348. This plat application was originally submitted under the plat name Donald D. Sherman Addition, but is now known as the Tom Hart Addition.
The Engineer has completed the technical revisions as requested by staff. Other than minor technical revisions and final submittal requirements prior to filing, this plat is recommended for conditional approval by the Commission.
Conditional approval of this plat by the Planning & Zoning Commission shall constitute approval subject to conformity with the prescribed conditions, but shall constitute disapproval until such conditions are met.
With the exception of the items listed as conditions of approval, this plat is in substantial compliance with the requirements of the Unified Development Code.

M. 1. Add the case number P150103 to the lower right corner of all new submittals.
I. 2. This plat must conform to the provisions of the approved PD-348.
I. 3. All utilities, within the platted area, shall be placed below ground, except for major high voltage transmission lines.
I. 4. The 15-foot utility easement shown on Lot 1 running perpendicular to Matthew Road and behind Lot 1 does not seem to have a purpose. Unless this utility easement is necessary to provide utilities to an adjacent lot, the proposed easement seems like an unnecessary encumbrance on Lot 1. Staff recommends that this proposed easement be removed. However, depending how utility services are planned to service the two proposed homes on Lot 2 per PD-348, a 15-foot utility easement should be considered along the northern boundary of Lot 1 for the benefit of Lot 2.
M. 5. Staff has identified the items necessary to continue the submittal process. Please make revisions, and corrections, and provide additional information as requested. The applicant may contact staff to schedule a meeting to discuss disputed issues or the review process. If revision issues are resolved, bring 3 copies of the revised plans to the December 11, 2014 Development Review Committee meeting. (Attendance is mandatory)
