Stonecreek Subdivision Lots 5-12, 14, 15/Young Cove Stonecreek Drive Major Subdivision Plat Background A major subdivision plat has been submitted on behalf of multiple owners to create 9 lots and plat two streets, Young Cove and Stone Creek Drive. The properties can be further identified as Parcels 16.10, 16.11, 16.12, 16.13, 16.14 and 16.15 on Dyer County Tax Map 063. The property is zoned FAR (Forestry, Agriculture, Residential) District. A portion of the properties appear to be located in a Zone A flood hazard area according to FIRM #47045C0205E, effective on 10/16/2008. Analysis The plat is not showing the platted right of way for Stonecreek Drive. Staff has advised the developers that this road must be platted in accordance with Dyersburg’s Subdivision Regulations. In lieu of a construction plat, the plat contains a signature block for acceptance by the Dyer County Street Superintendent as these roads have been completed and now require inspection by the county for acceptance. In the original plat submission, staff noted the following deficiencies:  - the easement shown to provide access for Lot 12 does not meet the minimum 50 foot width for access easements, - lot 9 does not appear to have adequate road frontage according to the submitted plat, but may have road frontage after Stonecreek Drive is platted and shown, and - the plat is missing a flood note. Recommendation Staff noted the deficiencies of the plat have been corrected and recommended: therefore, approval was recommended as presented. Staff requested that the TDEC approve the plat prior to final signature of the Planning Commission secretary. Chairman Burks called for any questions or further discussion. Commissioner Sherry Guthrie motioned to approve the plat as presented. A second was made by Commissioner Tony Dement. The motion passed. B.
