Title
CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR TURTLE CROSSING, A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. (GENERALLY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST LINDSEY STREET APPROXIMATELY ONE-FOURTH MILE EAST OF 24TH AVENUE S.E)
Body
BACKGROUND: This item is a preliminary plat for Turtle Crossing Addition, a Planned Unit Development that is generally located on the south side of East Lindsey Street approximately 1/4 mile east of 24th Avenue S.E. The owners/developers propose 43 single-family lots within a Planned Unit Development on 10.51 acres. Due to the topography, the area proposed within the PUD is the only designed area for development. The preliminary plat contains 28.35 acres with a large amount of Water Quality Protection Zone (WQPZ). The WQPZ area will be left undisturbed.
Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 13, 2020, recommended to City Council placing a portion of this property in a Planned Unit Development. In addition, Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Turtle Crossing Addition, a Planned Unit Development.
DISCUSSION: The proposed 43 single-family residential lots in this addition are expected to generate approximately 484 trips per day, 40 AM peak hour trips, and 49 PM peak hour trips. Obviously being below the threshold for when a traffic impact study is required (>100 peak hour trips is the threshold, no traffic impact information was collected with this application. The development is proposed for location along the south side of Lindsey Street just east of 24th Avenue SE. (See traffic table)
The proposed addition will access Lindsey Street between 24th Avenue SE and 36th Avenue SE. In addition, the addition will include stub-outs for future connections to future developments to the south. Capacity clearly exceeds demand in this area. As such, no off-site improvements are anticipated.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
