Title
CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR NORTH POINT ADDITION. (GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH INTERSTATE DRIVE APPROXIMATELY ONE-HALF MILE NORTH OF INDIAN HILLS ROAD).
body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for North Point Addition and is generally located approximately ½ mile north of Indian Hills Road on the east side of Interstate Drive. The property consists of approximately 11 acres and two (2) lots. Lot 1 is an existing industrial development with an existing private sanitary sewer system. There are no proposed changes for Lot 1.
City Council, on May 14, 1963 adopted Ordinance No. 1487 placing a portion of this property in I-2, Heavy Industrial District and removing it from A-2, Rural Agricultural District. City Council, on March 24, 1964 adopted Ordinance No. 1709 placing the remainder of this property in I-2, Heavy Industrial District and removing it from A-2, Rural Agricultural District. The property was never platted.
Planning Commission, on May 14, 2015, recommended to City Council that the preliminary plat for North Point Addition be approved.
DISCUSSION: The North Point Addition, which is an office/warehouse development along the east side of North Interstate Drive, will contain one new building and one existing building totaling 13,420 square feet of light industrial (office/warehouse) use. All access will be existing to and from North Interstate Drive. This Addition is expected to generate approximately 94 trips per day or 13 PM peak hour trips. As such, the trip generation potential for this development is well below the threshold for when a traffic impact study is required. The traffic capacity on the affected roadways exceeds the demand for existing and proposed trips, as a result of this development. No negative traffic impacts are anticipated on these facilities.
The additional PM peak hour trips generated by this Addition will be used to determine traffic impact fees for signalization of the Indian Hill Road intersections with 36th Avenue NW, the southbound I-35 ramps, and the northbound I-35 ramps. The fees for these improvements were calculated in a previous traffic study of the area to be $66.05 per PM peak hour trip. Based upon the pre-determined fee, the total to be collected with the filing of the Final Plat for this Addition is $858.65 ($66.05 per PM peak hour trip times 13 PM peak hour trips = $858.65).
Public improvements for this property consist of the following:
1. Paving: Interstate Drive is existing.
2. Sanitary Sewer: Lot 1 will utilize an existing private sanitary sewer system. Lot 2 will utilize the City of Moore sanitary sewer system. The City of Moore has acknowledged approval of the connection.
3. Storm Water: There are no changes in the existing impervious area for Lot 1. Lot 2 will use a proposed privately maintained detention facility.
4. Traffic Signals: Traffic impact fees associated with this development will contribute toward the future need to signalize the intersections of Indian Hills Road with 36th Avenue NW, North Interstate Drive and Interstate Drive. The total proportional share for this development is $858.65 and will be collected prior to the filing of a final plat.
5. Fire Protection: There is an existing fire hydrant to serve the existing facility. A fire hydrant will be installed to serve the proposed structure for Lot 2.
6. Water: There is an existing 12-inch (12”) water line adjacent to North Interstate Drive.
7. Public Dedications: All rights-of-way and easements will be dedicated to the City with final platting.
8. WQPZ and Flood Plain: There is WQPZ (Water Quality Protection Zone) and flood plain on the southern portion of the property. There are no plans to build structures within this area. Covenants will be required with a final plat protecting the WQPZ.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above information, staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat for the North Point Addition.
