C Page Two, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning, November 18, 1980 400 I . CONSIDER PLATTING - FINAL PLATTING OF WOODCREEK ADDITION, LOCATED NORTH OF BLESSING BRANCH AND EAST OF NORTH MAIN STREET Mr. Steve Crim of L & N Land, Inc. presented the final plat of Woodcreek Addition and stated that at this time they are only platting 96 lots and all of the streets that will be developed in the single family attached area. The multi-family portion will not be platted for development at this time. He stated that a 98 foot wide parking area has been provided for in the park area. He presented two different parking proposals . One would be 60 feet wide, 54 feet deep, with 12 perpendicular parking spaces . An alternative would be a 98 foot wide parking lot, 54 feet deep , with two rows of angle parking which would provide 19 parking spaces . He further stated the parking lot could go up to 110 feet deep or more which would double the parking spaces for both proposals . He stated they would go with whichever design the City preferred. Mr. Tyson asked if the Park & Recreation Board has seen these proposals . Mr. Flynn stated the Park Board had been given the report that the Commission received at the last meeting; however, the parking design was not a part of that . He stated he would run the alternative parking layouts by the Park Board and let them make recommendations . He stated the City Council will act on this plat next Tuesday night . He further stated that the Park Board has tabled action on consideration of the report, and their next meeting will occur after the Council hears the plat. The Council could leave the parking design up to the Park Board or act on it next Tuesday. He suggested that since the location of the parking lot was more relevant to locational zoning considerations that the Commission might address the location and leave the determination of number of spaces to the Park Board and/or City Council. Mr. Crim stated they have a piece of land on the other side of the creek outside of the flood plain area (Lot 1, Block H) that is shown on the plat by mistake as part of the 7 . 511 acres of park land. He stated he would like to take that off of the plat and change the park area from 7 . 511 to 7 . 129 acres . He wants to retain that piece of property (Lot 1, Block H) as an unplatted block in this plat. He stated this piece.of land may be important to the development of the property to the south if they were to acquire it . Otherwise, they will donate the 411) land as part of the park site with subsequent final platting. Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning & Zoning, November 18, 1980 4111) Mr. Tyson asked if that was part of the corrections and additions that were to be made prior to the meeting as stated in the P & Z letter. Mr. Crim stated no, that he just discovered this on his way to the meeting. Mr. Flynn stated the corrections referred to in the letter pertain to the engineering plans for public improvements . He stated those have been submitted, and the project engineer has agreed to work with our City Engineer and comply with his requirements . He further stated that Staff does recommend approval of the subject plat and plans . Mr. Eden asked whether Staff had any problem with the layout of the parking area in the park. Mr. Flynn stated that Staff' s only concern was that it did not conform to the proposed general location on the CUD site plan as it had been shifted eastward 300 to 400 feet, and there were some members of the Staff that had some concern that it might be used as guest parking by the apartment dwellers . He pointed out , however, that it was in the multi-family area to begin with. Chairman Deithloff asked what standards would be used in the construction of the off-street parking. Mr. Crim stated they will probably do the streets with six inch subgrade and six inch asphalt and that the parking lot would probably be asphalt also. Chairman Deithloff asked whether the parking lot would be equal to or better than the streets . Mr. Crim stated they would if it is required. He stated he did not think that six inch subgrade and six inch asphalt would be necessary on a parking lot . Mr. Flynn stated Staff would require that it be an all-weather surface; either asphalt or concrete. Mr. Knight stated that since the developer would be doing lime work in the subdivision anyway that they use six inch subgrade and one and a half to two inches of asphalt. Mr. Eden made a motion to recommend approval of the final plat- ting of Woodcreek Addition subject to the P & Z letter dated November 14, 1980, with Lot 1, Block H not being platted for development at this time and also approving the location of the parking lot as shown on the plat .
