BACKGROUND
The replat has been reviewed against the criteria of the Plat Standards under
Section 3.3.1, Plat Standards, of the Land Use Code. The request to replat
aforementioned lots satisfies the following standards:
A. Section 3.3.1 (B) (1) — "Lots"
This criterion requires that lot sizes shall exceed the required minimum size
specified in the applicable zone district. Each lot must have vehicular access to
a public street.
The lots are located in the R-L, Low Density Residential Zone District. This
District requires that lots shall not be less than 6,000 square feet. All of the
replatted lots exceed this required minimum.
B. Section 3.3.1 (B) (2) — "Lots"
This criterion requires that the general layout of lots, roads, driveways, utilities,
drainage facilities and other services within the proposed development shall be
designed in a way that enhances an interconnected street system within and
between neighborhoods, preserves the natural areas and features, and
otherwise accomplishes the purposes and intent of the Land Use Code.
The proposed replat satisfies this criterion. All lots front on public streets
(Rollingate, Centergate and Cedargate) which connect to the existing general
layout of roads in the surrounding neighborhood.
• •
C. Section 3.3.1 [C] (1) — "Public Sites, Reservations and Dedications"
This criterion requires that a subdivision dedicate rights-of-way for public streets,
drainage easements and utility easements as needed to serve the area being
platted.
The proposed replat satisfies this criterion by dedicating additional land for
stormwater detention ponds. Additional street right-of-way is not needed. All
new lots dedicate the appropriate front and rear yard utility easements that is
customary for single family lots.
