STAFF REPORT, January 30, 2014 PROJECT INFORMATION Applicant Joe Kozimor Representative Sakura Engineering Date of Application December 12, 2013 Requested Action Preliminary Plan approval Location 4.80 acres west of Little Creek Subdivision, Phase I and south of Piedras Street. Existing Land Use Vacant Existing Zoning SF-5 Single-family Residential District. Surrounding Zoning North: SF-7 Single-family Residential – Vacant & Land Use South: IND Industrial – Commercial with outside storage.

Utilities Sewer: Per City standards Electric: Per Electrical Engineering The subdivision connects to the existing road network by extending Access & Circulation Piedras Street to the west, with a new road south along the west side of the subdivision, and a new loop street where the lots take access.

The property was recently annexed into the city and has SF-5 zoning. This zoning requires a minimum 5,000 square-foot lot. ISSUES Parks Recreation and Cultural Affairs: Roger Drayer – 599-1405 • PRCA still has the expectation that there will be a park within one of their subdivisions. Traffic Engineering Administrator: Steve Krest – 599-8201 • Street lighting required. City Engineer: Nica Westerling – 599-1316 • A drainage plan was not supplied with the construction drawings and is required. The submittal is still not complete. The rest of the construction drawings have been reviewed and comments will be provided to the petitioner’s engineer. • I am agreeable to postponing the requirement for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for this phase pending the completion of the land acquisition which would allow Joe Kozimor, developer, to relocate the future collector street further west to the top of the hill. This would insure good sight distance and adequate spacing to allow for a future signal when it becomes warranted. If the acquisition cannot be completed in a timely manner (30-60 days) then a TIA for the existing access point needs to be completed. The Developer has agreed to block the existing access to insure this phase utilizes the existing street network, Piedras in particular, as its main access point. Water and Wastewater O&M Manager: Ruben Salcido – 599-1284 • There are existing 8-inch water and 8-inch sewer utilities present within Piedras Street, and within Soaring Eagle Drive and Little Rabbit Drive to extend north and west for future development. Associate Planner: Fran Fillerup – 599-1282 • Street names need to be proposed. A theme should be followed as with other phases of the development or a new theme which can be followed in surrounding phases. The new road running north-south will have a suffix of Avenue or Road. The looped road will have the suffix Circle. • Street signs area required to be paid for by the developer at the time of the final plat submittal. • The setbacks are not recommended to be placed on the plat. • Please address the treatment of rear and street side yards of lots along streets with a plat note identifying if fences are planned along streets. A plat note allowing access for the lots only on the loop street is already shown. • Safe sight triangles must be addressed and anticipated at all intersection pursuant to Section 5.3.6 of the UDC. • According to the petitioner, the north-south road is to be blocked at the south line of the subdivision as shown in the construction drawings (see City Engineer’s 26  comment). The termination of the north-south road needs to be reflected on the plat. The eventual plan for the road, however, needs to be a connection to the south. • Mail service for the subdivision must be accounted for and a Neighborhood Box Unit must be arranged as required by USPS. If an easement is needed within this subdivision phase, it must be shown on the plat. • Addresses will be provided to the surveyor for inclusion on the final plat. • Staff has informed the petitioner’s representative that the drainage plan is still required and is needed to complete the review of this petition. Sherry with Sakura Engineering told staff that her firm has not contracted to prepare the drainage plan. A voicemail message was left for the petitioner regarding the drainage plan on January 22, 2014. STAFF CONCLUSION Staff concludes that the possible postponement of consideration Petition PP 13-03, Little Creek Subdivision, Phase IV, is appropriate to allow for the review of the drainage plan. Additionally, street names also need to be submitted for review. Postponing the petition will allow the petitioner time to provide these items, and for staff to complete the review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department cannot develop a recommendation until the drainage plan and street name proposal has been submitted and reviewed. Unless this occurs prior to the Commission’s meeting, staff is recommending postponing consideration of Petition PP 13-03, a request from Joe Kozimor, represented by Sakura Engineering, for the Preliminary Plan for the Little Creek Subdivision, Phase IV, a 24-lot subdivision on 4.80 acres located west of on Little Creek Subdivision, Phase I and south of Piedras Street. 27 Approx. location of Little Creek Subd., Ph.
