Background The property is zoned R, Rural. The developer intends to change the zoning to SR, Suburban Residential at the time he applies for the final plat and annexation. The area will likely be final platted in phases. The area to the north and to the west is zoned R, Rural. The area to the east is zoned SR, Suburban Residential. The area to the southeast is zoned AR, Auto-urban Residential. The area to the southwest is zoned SR Suburban Residential. The proposal is consistent with the Future Land Use map of the Comprehensive Plan which shows the area as Residential. Staff from Planning and Public Works held a pre-application meeting with the applicant on October 18, 2018. There were no significant issues identified with the proposed preliminary plat at that time. The preliminary plat application was submitted October 19, 2018/ The Preliminary Plat proposes 97 residential lots. Previous preliminary plats of County Club Estates 3rd, 4th and 5th Additions and Washington Heights platted residential lots in this area. Those plats expired without being developed. The proposed preliminary plat has one outlet to the west to Ridge Road. The previous preliminary plats had two outlets to Ridge Road. One connection is proposed given the existence of a drainage ditch adjacent to the west side of the property on roughly the north half. The Public Works director does not have an issue with this. The northwest portion of the plat ends in a cul-de-sac. A connection to the north is inhibited by the ditch and by acreage development to the north. The proposed preliminary plat is located in the flood zone AO. Dwellings are required to be elevated 3 feet above the existing grade. Street names must be provided for all streets. The Public Works Director’s comments are attached.  Memo To: Jennifer Dam Director of Planning From: David Goedeken, P.E. Director of Public Works Topic: Engineering Review Country Club Estates 6th, Preliminary Plat Dated: November 19, 2018 I have reviewed the submittals for Preliminary on this Addition. The preliminary plat is for the tract of land bordered by Ridge Road on the West, Washington Heights and Country Club Estates on the East and South. The Plans submitted were the Preliminary Plat Documents, Grading Plans, Utility and Public Improvement Layouts, and Drainage Plans and Calculations. Plans were distributed from the Public Works Department to the Utilities Department for their review and comment. It is my understanding that Mr. Dodd has been in contact with the various DU departments for comments and input. Preliminary Plat Review • The plat is entirely outside, but contiguous to city limits. It is my understanding this subdivision will be final platted in phases. My recommendation is to annex the final plats as they are submitted. • The entire preliminary plat is located in the AO-2 Flood Zone. A floodplain development permit, and compliance with all federal and/or floodplain laws will be required prior to physical development of the site. • The interior streets in the development will be required to be paved in accordance of the UDC. The recommended width of streets will be 28 feet for the streets other than Jones Street and the connector streets to the adjacent subdivision, as shown on the public improvement plans. The streets in the abutting neighborhoods are paved at 32 feet in width, as required by previous Subdivision Code. The adjacent exterior street is Ridge Road. The UDC does not specifically address exterior roadways adjacent to a subdivision, other than in general transportation terms and needs. As stated earlier the subdivision will be developed in phases, and my understanding is the first phase will be interior to, and not connected to Ridge Road. As the development moves closer to Ridge Road decisions will need to be made on the future status of this road. Presently, Ridge Road is gravel adjacent to, and beyond the limits of this subdivision. • At this time I am not recommending the need for a traffic study as the subdivision does not front onto a major roadway and I do not anticipate traffic issues significant enough to warrant a need for a study. • Storm sewer and drainage plans have been submitted and reviewed. Preliminary review indicates the proposed layout to be satisfactory to city policy and good engineering practice. A significant portion of this site has been rerouted to drain into the  drainageway adjacent to Ridge Road and then East into the existing drainage way north of and adjacent to Washington Heights. This portion of the site ultimately flows into the Rawhide Creek. The Southern portion of the sight drains in the existing drainageway in Washington Height and flows easterly generally parallel to Dakota Street. This drainageway also drains into the Rawhide Creek. • Water and Sanitary Sewer layout plans have been submitted and reviewed by the DU. Comments have been received by Mr. Dodd from the DU. • Plans were also routed to the Electric and Gas departments for their review. Comments were submitted directly to Mr. Dodd from these departments. • Due to the proximity of this sight to the Fremont Airport certain height restrictions may apply. (Example no cell towers) Normal heights required for building of single family residences are not likely to trigger any restrictions. By City Code all construction within 2000 feet of the runway require that height restrictions be verified. Final Comments: • The submittals received comply with the requirements of the UDC. The subdivision has been laid out by a Licensed Engineer and reviewed by City Staff in numerous departments. The submittal package exceeds the requirements of the UDC in content as related to that which is required for a preliminary plat. Information such as public improvements, grading and drainage layouts and design are not required until Final Plat. The applicant has provided the information at this time, which significantly helps in the review process by City Staff.  Zoning in vicinity of proposed “Country Club Estates 6th and future additions Preliminary Plat” Area of Application Vicinity Map: Proposed Country Club Estates 6th aand Future Additions Preliminary Plat” Area of Proposed Application  PRELIMINARY PLAT OF OWNER/DEVELOPER: RAWHIDE LAND PARTNERSHIP COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES 6TH EXISTING ZONING: AG AND FUTURE ADDITIONS PROPOSED ZONING: SR (TO BE DONE AT TIME OF FINAL PLATTING) 23 FREMONT, DODGE COUNTY, NEBRASKA 3 2 1 FLOOD ZONE: AO 22 PART OF THE SW1/4 OF THE NW1/4 AND THE NW1/4 OF THE ENGINEER/SURVEYOR: 24 SW1/4 OF SECTION 10, TOWNSHIP 17 NORTH, RANGE 8 EAST STEPHEN W.
