REQUEST SUBMITTED BY CROSSLIN BUILDERS. James Mills stated that the developer Crosslin Builders has submitted for approval a Revised Final Plat of the Clark Springs Subdivision, a four (4) lot residential subdivision located off Brown Avenue, Clark Avenue and East 6th Street currently owned by Bonnie Nell Clark. No preliminary plat was required for this development because it contains less than ten building lots and no new public infrastructure is proposed or needed. The original Final Plat of the Clark Springs Subdivision was approved as a three (3) lot development by the Planning Commission on April 27, 2009. The property proposed for the revised subdivision is identified on Tax Map 053D Group A as Parcel 013.00 and consists of approximately 3.44 acres. The property is zoned as RS15, single family residential. All lots exceed the minimum lot size and width requirements and all lot frontage boundaries are 25’ from the center line of the streets. New sidewalks are not required as these are both existing public roads. Lot 2 contains an existing single family structure and the remaining lots are undeveloped. Portions of all the lots are within the 100 year flood plain and the plat denotes the estimated base flood elevation on each lot. Before the lots can be built on a pre-construction Elevation Certificate will have to be completed and submitted by a surveyor. A post-construction Elevation Certificate must be submitted as well prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Codes Department upon completion. All of the lots will be served by the existing six-inch water line and eight-inch sewer line located within COOKEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 2 MAY 19, 2014 the right-of-way of Brown Avenue. In addition, there are two (2) existing hydrants also within the right-of-way of Brown Avenue that provide coverage for fire protection as required by the Subdivision Regulations. Staff recommended conditional final plat approval subject to completion of corrections or additions to the plat as determined necessary by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Joe Bertram, property owner at 760 Brown Avenue, was concerned about the drainage due to the addition of smaller lots to the neighborhood. James Mills replied that the lot sizes are significantly larger than what is required by the zoning code and should not have an impact on the drainage. Dr. Roy Loutzenheiser made the motion to grant conditional final plat approval subject to completion of corrections or additions to the plat as determined necessary by the Planning Department and/or other appropriate city departments. Adam Ryan seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. CONDITIONAL FINAL PLAT APPROVAL. Leslie Sullins made the motion to take the following items for study.
