PRELIMINARY
PLAT:
Southeast corner of East 15th
Street and South Yale Avenue
Staff
Recommendation:
Note: This site received
preliminary plat approval in December of 1999. This is a new submittal, by a different
consultant, and does not include a site plan.
The site bounded on the north by 15th Street South, on the east by industrial zoning (IM) and uses, on the southeast by RD zoning with RS-2 beyond and along the remainder of the southern boundary by commercial zoning (CH) and uses (Target). The site is bounded on the west by Yale Avenue.
The site is currently unplatted, divided into a number of separate parcels and developed in a variety of industrial uses. The site plan submitted with the BOA case in 1999 indicated that the Lowe’s facility would be located on the western ¾ of the site with a separate facility on the eastern ¼. The plat will create five lots in two blocks, which may or may not complement the site plan. Approximately 135,000 square feet of structures were to have been located on the site.
It appears that railroad right-of-way ran through this area at one time.
STREETS
The site is bounded on the north by 15th Street and the west by Yale Avenue. The plat does not indicate access locations at this time. The previous plat indicated one point off of Yale, with three indicated off of 15th Street. There are currently seven lots with multiple points of access onto 15th Street. With five lots with multiple point of access front Yale Avenue.
The existing ROW along this side of 15th Street is 40’; the plat indicates expanded ROW along Yale Avenue and 15th Street, to 58’ and 50’ respectively.
·
Study regarding
the possibilities of creating mutual access to the Target site to the
south.
·
Access points as
shown on the site plan shown on the plat.
·
Standard
dedication language.
·
58’ of ROW along
Yale Avenue and 50’ on 15th Street (both are secondary arterials).
SEWER
A sanitary sewer easement runs north and south in the western third of the parcel. Another runs diagonally across the southeast corner.
A third runs to the west from the north/south line in the western third of the site.
WATER
Water is present on the east side of Yale Avenue and the south side of 15th Street.
The Commission approved the previous
preliminary plat with the following conditions:
·
An on-site water
line will be placed to the west of the proposed structure to provide hydrants
for fire protection.
A 15' storm sewer
easement runs diagonally across the southeast corner.
The Commission approved the previous
Preliminary Plat with the following conditions:
Easements will
be provided for the floodplain area and storm drain.
Compensatory
storage will be required for any fill placed in the
floodplain.
Existing 20’
utility easements are shown. It
does not appear that new easements are shown that relate to the new lot
configuration.
Staff provides the following information
from TAC.
STREETS:
Somdecerff, Traffic: the right-of-way
dedicated by this plat should be so indicated, with dimensions.
French: Streets: A limits-of-no-access
should be shown.
SEWER:
Bolding, PW: no
comment.
WATER:
Holdman, PW: no comment.
STORM DRAIN:
McCormick, PW: All underground and at-grade
drainage facilities should be in easement. Lot 4 should be indicated as a
drainage easement.
Discussion occurred
regarding access to the detention area in the southeast corner (lot 4). Easement
for access should be provided through the mini-storage area on the east side of
the site.
FIRE:
Calkins, Fire: no new comments.
UTILITIES:
Bryant, PSO: indicated that overhead lines
were existing on the south side of the property. Discussion ensued. Any easement to cover
the existing lines would overlap the drainage easement along the south
boundary. PSO indicated that no new
construction was planned; Stormwater indicated that a multi-use easement was
acceptable if PSO did not anticipate additional improvements.
Burns, SWBT: indicated that easement would
be required along the north boundary line to accommodate existing
infrastructure. The engineer indicated that a BOA case (18304) had reduced the
minimum setback. Discussion ensued regarding the setback, the request for
easement and the potential impact if the ROW was widened. Staff review indicates that the setback
is 62’ from the existing centerline for a maximum distance of 265’. The ROW will be widened to 50’ on this
side, leaving 12.5’ between it and the building face. This may be sufficient. The issue will have to be resolved
between the applicant and utility provider prior to final plat release.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the preliminary plat
subject to the following:
None.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
Right-of-way dedicated by this
plat should be labeled and dimensioned (total of 58’ on Yale and 50’on
15th, both are secondary arterials).
Limits-of-no-access should be
shown.
Mutual access to the Target site
to the south should be studied.
All underground and at-grade
drainage facilities should be in an easement. Lot 4 should be indicated as a
drainage easement, as should the area in floodplain.
Easement for access should be provided through the
mini-storage area on the east side of the site.
Compensatory storage is required for any fill place
in the floodplain.
An on-site water line will be placed on the west side
of the proposed structure to provide hydrants for fire
protection.
