On June 6, 2002, Mr. Gray submitted a Final Plat for Fairmont Park East Section 5. Analysis: Staff used criteria in the City's Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan to review this subdivision Land Use — The subdivision's proposed residential use conforms to the character of the surrounding land uses and the R 1 zoning district. Properties adjacent to the site are overwhelmingly residential with.some commercial properties along Fairmont Parkway. Reserve "F" (0.4586 acre), at the southwest comer of the subdivision along Driftwood Drive, is restricted for commercial use. This Reserve is appropriately zoned GC. Transportation/Interior Circulation — The proposed project is situated approximately 200' north of Fairmont Parkway and south of the detention pond along Driftwood Drive. The main access to the proposed subdivision is along Driftwood Drive, which has 80' of right-of-way (ROW). Fairmont Parkway, a major four -lane thoroughfare with 250' of ROW, should accommodate the traffic generated by this development. The proposed subdivision will have internal streets with 50' of ROW. The layout creates two points of access off Driftwood Drive. Sidewalks - As a condition in the General Plan, the developer agreed to construct sidewalks along both sides of all public streets within the subdivision. A sidewalk shall be installed along the east side of Driftwood Drive going north from the proposed Section 5, across the detention pond and connecting with Section 6. A sidewalk shall also be installed along the east side of Driftwood Drive going south from the proposed section 5 to the end of the subdivision line. Staff noted the statement on the face of the Final Plat. Parks and Recreation — Section 12.0 of the City's Development Ordinance requires the developer to provide on -site open space and recreational space or fees in lieu of parkland to the City. In accordance with the Development Ordinance, Reserve `H' (19,602 s.f. or 0.45 ac.) will be dedicated to the City to be developed as parkland. In addition, if the detention pond is developed into a park, the contemplated primary use of this reserve will be parking. Utilities — There are sufficient water and sewer facilities in the vicinity to provide services to this proposed development. The developer is responsible for providing all necessary public infrastructure to accommodate the subdivision's water and sanitary sewer needs. The design and construction of all water and sewer systems shall be in conformance with the City's Development Ordinance. Fairmont Park East, Section Five Final Plat Page 3 of 3 Drainage — During the development of Fairmont Park East Sections 5-9, an 8-acre detention pond was created to accommodate storm water drainage from all 77 -acres of Fairmont Park East Subdivision. The proposed Section 5 is designed so that all storm drainage flows directly into the detention pond. The City's detention criteria requires that a minimum 12-foot . wide maintenance berm is provided around the perimeter of the detention facility. Any direct drainage onto Driftwood Drive is prohibited. Staff will ensure that the drainage structures shall be constructed in such locations and of such size and dimensions to adequately serve the development and the contributing drainage area. However, the developer shall provide all the necessary easements required for proper drainage, including storm water inlets. Conclusion and Recommendation: The Final Plat is in accordance with the City's development regulations. Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat, but notes that the following must occur prior to plat recordation: 1. Covenants, conditions and restrictions will be filed along with the Final Plat. 2. - Payment shall be made to the City for installation of streetlights and electrical service cost for one year. The money will be deposited with the City in an escrow account until such time as construction /installation is complete. 3. Payment shall be made to the City for installation of street signs within Section 5. Options available to the Commission are as follows: Approve the Final Plat as filed. This will authorize the developer to begin construction of subdivision improvements within one year. • Disapprove the Final Plat and supporting documents as filed. This will require the developer to file a new Final Plat with the required documents.
