There is approximately 250 feet of street frontage along Timberline Road. To
improve this frontage, the applicant would be responsible for the "local street
portion" of the full arterial improvement. At the current estimate of $35 per lineal
foot, the escrow is estimated to be $10,500. This escrow amount has been
reviewed by the Director of Engineering and found acceptable. The escrow
amount will be presented to the Engineering Department upon Final Compliance.
4. Findings of Fact/Conclusion:
In evaluating the request, Staff makes the following findings of fact:
A. The requested use is defined as a "public facility" and is permitted as a Type One
use in the L-M-N zone district.
B. There is minimal land development associated with the request. There would be
no structure, building permit or plat. There is only an underground pump facility
with groundcover to replace disturbed areas.
C. The P.D.P. is on a parcel with approximately 250 feet of frontage along
Timberline Road which is classified as a standard arterial street.
D. The pump station is not open to the public. There would be approximately one
trip per day by District staff to the facility.
E. The P.D.P. satisfies the applicable criterion relating to the "local street portion" of
the Timberline Road street improvements by escrowing an amount acceptable to
the Director of Engineering. This escrow will cover the cost of the applicant's
share of the roadway improvements at no risk to the traveling public.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Summitview Pump Station, P.D.P., 5-01, subject to the
following condition:
1. All signed easements and right-of-way dedication documents shall be
provided, along with the filing fees, prior to Final Compliance approval.
2. The escrow amount of $10,500 for the local street improvements shall be
submitted to the City prior to Final Compliance approval.
3. Final Compliance plans shall show and label the fixture sidewalk along
Timberline Road running along the back of the road right-of-way.
4. Final Compliance plans shall show and label the future street trees to be
located within the parkway strip of the Timberline Road right-of-way.
Such trees shall be placed on 30 to 40-foot intervals.
COMMENTS:
Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: L-M-N; Vacant
S: L-M-N; Vacant and Irrigation Canal
E: L-M-N; Vacant
W: L-M-N; Vacant
There has been no previous planning or land development activity on this parcel.
2. Land Use:
The proposed underground pump station is considered.a "public facility." This is a
Type One permitted land use in the L-M-N zone district.
3. General Development Standards:
The request is for a fully automated, unmanned water pumping facility placed
underground. There are no above -ground buildings. No building permit will be
issued. There is no plat. There is no fencing. The only landscaping is groundcover.
The access road is the existing ditch rider's road along the irrigation canal. The
P.D.P. satisfies the applicable General Development Standard as described below:
Section 3.3.2(E)(1) — Required Improvements Prior to Issuance of Certificate of
Occupancy:
This section requires an applicant, whose project is located adjacent to any
existing street right-of-way, to improve the street to the full local street standard.
Or, if located adjacent to a collector or standard arterial, the applicant shall
improve one-half of the width of such a street.
In cases where the strict interpretation of this provision would place undue
hardship upon the applicant, and the health, safety and welfare of the public
would not be placed at risk, the applicant may be permitted to establish an escrow
account, based on current cost estimates, which will cover the cost of completion
of the required street improvements.
The P.D.P. satisfies this requirement. It is anticipated that there will be
approximately one trip per day by District staff to the proposed facility. This
impact does not warrant construction of street improvements at this time and
establishment of an escrow is acceptable.
