FROM: Planning Commission
DATE: January 21, 2016
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Approving a Final Plat on Lots 5A, 6A, 7A and 10 for Phase 1 of the Resubdivision of Deerpath Commerce Center Subdivision Unit 2 (Conor Commercial Real Estate - L15-01146 / SG01/4-15.249-Fsd/Fpn/R - AM - Ward 5)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Conor Commercial Real Estate, is requesting approval of a Final Plat for Lots 5A, 6A, 7A and 10 of the Resubdivision of the Deerpath Commerce Center Subdivision Unit 2 which is a revision to the approved Final Plat which maintains the original number of lots (4) but adjusts the lot lines for the three detention lots.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is located along the south side of Orchard Gateway Road just west of Deerpath Road and is currently vacant with ORI(S) Office, Research, and Light Industrial zoning. Additional information on the legislative history of the property can be found in the attached Property Information Sheet.
The details of the Final Plat proposal include the revision of the subdivision plat to accurately delineate the three stormwater facilities pursuant to the revised Final Engineering Plans.
Concurrently with this proposal, the Petitioner is also proposing a Final Plan Revision the details of which include the redesign of the stormwater facilities to provide enough suitable soils to balance out the grading for the project and provide the necessary buildable footprint for the development of lot 7A. The stormwater facility on Lot 5A was expanded in size and redesigned to a deeper depth to provide more stormwater storage and suitable soils for mass grading. The stormwater facility on Lot 10 remains the same size but was redesigned from a wet bottom pond to a dry bottom with natural plantings. The Final Plan and the Final Engineering Plans have been revised to reflect these changes.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has reviewed the Final Plat petition and have sent comments back to the petitioner on those submittals. The petitioner has made the requested revisions to these documents and they now meet the applicable codes and ordinances.
POLICIES AND GUIDELINES:
The Staff’s Evaluation and Recommendation are based on the following Physical Development Policies:
11.1 (5) To guide and promote development to areas where public utilities, public roads and municipal services are either available or planned.
40.1 (1) To attract and encourage industrial, office and office-research development to planned sites where requisite public facilities are either present or proposed.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission recommends APPROVAL of the Resolution Approving a Final Plat on Lots 5A, 6A, 7A and 10 for Phase 1 of the Resubdivision of Deerpath Commerce Center Subdivision Unit 2,
