Background
The preliminary plat, Gardenwood Addition was approved in April 2006. The preliminary plat approval included approval for 118 single family lots. The applicant is requesting approval to final plat 24 lots that were a part of the original preliminary plat that was approved in 2006.
The final plat also includes two outlots for future development and an open space area.
The single-family product will be custom built homes. The single-family lots for these homes are proposed to be typically 85 feet in width, with several being wider and a couple being under this width. The typical depth is 150 feet, with most of the lots being much larger than this in depth. These homes will be enhanced with impressive exterior architectural details. The homes will include brick, stone, stucco, and varying gables and hip rooflines.
It will be necessary to extend Woodland Parkway with this plat. It is proposed that the Parkway be extended to the northern most limits of the platted right-of-way rather than the north end of the current plat. This will eliminate a "patchwork" of street construction and provide for a more contiguous roadway. It is also proposed that 121st Avenue be constructed to the west of Woodland Parkway (prior to July 2014) to provide the connection into the City's future Lexington Avenue athletic complex.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 06-91.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
