Ken Young stated that Mr. Donnie Suits of Capital Communities, LLC has submitted for approval a Preliminary Plat of Redbud Subdivision Phase lI, a2l lot single family residential development of property located at Buck Mountain Road and Redbud Drive. The property proposed for development is identified on Tax Map 52 as Parcel 10.00 and consists-of approximately 15.31&acres. This parcel is zoned as RS-10, Single Family Residential as are the lanis adjacent to the east and south. The land west of the property is zonedPRD, Planned Residential Development and the property to the north is outside the corporate limits. COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 2 APRrL 22,2013 A new cul-de-sac is proposed that will extend the existing Redbud Drive in order to serve the new building tots. ttre developer has submitted a written request for a variance to allow the length of the street to exceed the 1200 feet length maximum allowed by the Subdivision Regulations by 230 feet for a total length of 1430 feet. In addition, the developer also iequests a variance to exceed the 20 lot maximum requirement for new streets with one way in and out to allow 21 lots. A new four foot wide sidewalk will be installed along the west side of the new street. A new six (6) inch waterline will be installed connecting to the existing waterline located in the right-oi-*uy of Redbud Drive. A proposed eight (8) inch sewer line will connect to the existing sewer in the same right-of way. The property is encumbered by three intertwined environmental and topographical features. First, a USGS blue line stream transverses the property from approximately north to south on the eastem portion of the parcel. Secondly, the area encompassing the stream has been identified by br. Evan Hart at the Department of Earth Sciences at TTU as a section of a drainagi *"u connecting the Burton Branch FEMA Special Flood Haznd Area to the north aid draining into a 100 year sinkhole floodplain identified in the 2009 TTU Sinkhole Study as sinkhole #157 located east of Dry Valley Road. Finally, a larger area containing both the drainage area and blue line stream has been identified by TTU Research Specialist Ken Morgan with the TTU Center of Management, Utilization and protection of Wuter Resources as a delineated wetland area. The plat shows a wetland buffer 30 feet in width within which no structures are to be built. Public works Engineer Tracy Meggs has advised that this buffer width is appropriate due to the fact that the stream this drains into (Falling Water River) is not considered impaired' Staff recommended approval of variances to allow 21 lots and to increase the length of the proposed street extenii,on to 1430 feet based on the fact that the new street will only serve ihe plaued lots and cannot be used for future access to other existing streets.

Since it has not been reviewed, Mr. Young siated that the request will not be voted on at tonight's meeting and that the name changeswill be considered when the Final Plat is reviewed.
