Background
This parcel was originally preliminary platted in the fall of 2010 and received Final Plat approval in 2013 but the plat was never recorded. Because the final plat was not recorded in a timely fashion the City Council is being asked to re-issue Final Plat approval. Notice has been sent to notify property owners within 350 feet of the proposed plat.
The applicant owns a parcel that is approximately .49 acres. The applicant’s proposal is to subdivide the parcels into two single-family lots, consistent with the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district standards. The proposed parcels will exceed the 10,000 square foot lot size minimum in the R-1 zoning district. Also, the parcels would have lot depths meeting the 125-foot minimum lot width requirement in the R-1 zoning district The corner lot will be 85-feet in width, which is 5-feet narrower that standard 90-foot wide R-1 corner lot. The plat and proposed lots are however consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development Guide Plan, how the lots were serviced with utilities and consistent with a number of other plats with small deviations in lot widths or depths in this in-fill area.
The development of the lots adjacent to proposed Dunkirk Street are waiting for the additional 30 feet of right-of-way (east side) to allow the completion of Dunkirk Street. The east side of the Dunkirk Street right-of-way is proposed to be constructed with the development of St. Clair Park 7th Addition.
The development will require that custom grading be accomplished to preserve existing trees. Grading of infiltration basins/rain gardens will be required, and must be constructed prior to any Certificates of Occupancy being issued in the plat. The developer will be required to maintain the plantings and landscaping in the infiltration basins/rain gardens for a minimum of three years after the project construction work is accepted by the City.
With platting, trunk sanitary sewer and truck storm sewer become due for the 0.49 acres in the plat. The current rate for trunk sanitary sewer is $6,410 per acre for a charge of $3,141. The current rate for truck storm sewer is $7,998 per acre for a charge of $3,919.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 10-124.

By motion, approve the Resolution.
