LOCATION Rockingham Road
General
This is a request for final glat approval for Phase 1A of the Yorkshire Subdivision on
Rockingham Road. The proposed final plat contains 48 lots and creates 3 new roads. The
proposed subdivision is located in the city limits and is zoned RP-2. The property was annexed
into the city in 2002 with an approved concept plan. The concept plan was amended and
approved in 2022. A bond in the amount of $724,789.00 will need to be posted to cover a portion
of the cost of the incomplete work.
Zoning
The proposed lots are zoned RP-2, Planned Residential. The RP-2 district requires a minimum
lot size of 4,000 sq. feet and a minimum lot width of 40 feet. All 48 lots in the proposed
subdivision meet the minimum standards. None of the proposed lots are less than 6,700 square
feet with the largest lot exceeding 17,000 square feet.
The proposed subdivision is required to have 15% open space, where 7.5% shall be active open
space. The proposed subdivision meets these requirements. The following are the setback
requirements for the RP-2 zoning district:
Minimum Setbacks:
-Front: 10 feet. Front-facing garages shall have a minimum setback of 25 feet on
all streets.
-Side: 7.5 foot drainage and utility easement
-Rear: The rear yard setback on lots adjoining a non-RP District shall be the same
as the setback of the adjacent yard in the non-RP District, provided the rear yard
setback in the RP District shall not be required to be greater than 25 feet. All other
Page 2 of 8
Agenda Item #7.7.2
lots not adjoining a non-RP District shall maintain a rear yard setback for
drainage and utility easements where necessary.
The final plat includes sidewalks along the new public streets and on the bulb (turn-around)
portion of the cul-de-sacs as per Section 4-3 in the Subdivision regulations. The proposed final
plat meets the zoning and subdivision requirements as it pertains to minimum lot size, lot width,
open space, and sidewalks.
RP Zoning District Concept Plan Requirement
In accordance with section 6.10.1.3 (1) of the Zoning Code, each Planned Residential
development requires a concept plan to be approved by the Planning Commission and Board of
Commissioners, to ensure that the development is compatible with the surrounding area. The
concept plan was approved at the time of annexation in June of 2002, and an amendment to the
concept plan was approved in April of 2022. The final plat is consistent with the approved
Concept Plan.
Streets
The proposed subdivision creates 3 new roads to be constructed to the local street standards as
required by the Johnson City Subdivision Regulations.
Due to the increased density caused by the development, a traffic study was required. A traffic
study recommended additional right-of-way dedication at the entrance on Rockingham Road to
allow for a right turn lane. There are thirteen (13) rights-of-entry required for the improvements
along Rockingham Road. At this time, the developer lacks two (2) rights-of-entry.
Water and Sewer
City water and sewer are available to the subdivision.
Incomplete Items and Bond
Water and Sewer
All water and sewer lines have been tested and pass inspection. There are remaining
items on the final walkthrough punch list that need to be completed. An update of their
completion will be provided at the Planning Commission meeting.
Stormwater and Detention
The initial work on these items has commenced, but that work is not complete. The
Engineering Division and the developer have entered into an agreement and work plan to
finish the remaining items.

Agenda Item #7.7.2
Roadwork
The developer will post a bond of $724,789.00, which will cover the cost of the roadwork,
sidewalks, and curb and gutter. An update on the acquisition of the two (2) rights of entry will be
provided at the Planning Commission meeting.
Recommendation
The final plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plan and concept plan. There is site
work that remains incomplete. The Engineering Division and City Administration have worked
with the developer to ensure that the subdivision will be built to meet or exceed City Standards
and Subdivision Regulations. A critical need for the approval of this plat is the remaining rights-
of entry, which the developer will provide an update at the Planning Commission meeting.
