The following information was provided at the TAC meeting of 02/01/01.

 

Staff Recommendation:

GENERAL

The site is located north of Pine and east of Peoria between it and the Cherokee Expressway. Reading Street bounds the property on the north.  The site was previously platted and developed, being parts of the Hunter, Broadview and Dickson Additions. It was previously used for residential and commercial purposes.

 

The areas to the west side of Peoria and north of Reading are of mixed density residential use. CS zoning is present at the northeast corner of Reading and Peoria and to the east at Queen Street.

 

This will be the site of an Albertson’s.

 

STREETS

No internal streets are required; the plat indicates one access point off of Pine, two access points off of Peoria and three access points off of Reading.

 

Proposed dedications are indicated on Peoria and Pine.

 

SEWER

Atlas sheet 78 indicates that sanitary sewer is present onsite, as would be expected given the previous development.  Sanitary sewer easements are shown in the western portion of the site.

 

Previous easements should be shown with information regarding improvements to be vacated.

 

WATER

Atlas sheet 78 indicates that water is present onsite, as would be expected given the previous development.  Restricted water line easements are shown.

 

Previous easements should be shown with information regarding improvements to be vacated.

 

STORM DRAIN

A note on Lot 5 indicates that detention will be required and Lot 1 shows a D/E running along the west property line.

 

To what does the Lot 1 easement connect?

 

UTILITIES

Utility easements of 17.5’ are shown.

 

Staff provides the following information from TAC.

 

STREETS:

Somdecerff, Traffic: A PFPI will be required for improvements along Reading Street from Peoria Avenue to the area of the easternmost drive as shown on the plat. A 50’ right of way will be allowed along Reading with an expanded paved section. Subdivision regulations waivers for reduction in the return radius at Peoria /Reading and the reduced right-of-way along Reading and Peoria should be allowed. 

 

French: Streets: No access will be allowed from Lot 5 onto Reading Avenue without additional improvement on Reading. The southernmost access point onto Peoria should be right-turn only. Access onto Pine should be clearly located and will be subject to Traffic Engineering. The length of the right-turn bay should be verified.

 

SEWER:

Payne, PW: Existing sewer lines will need to be abandoned; therefore, new lines should be installed and operational prior to abandonment.  Manholes in areas of drainage easements should have a rim elevation of one-foot above the expected flow.

 

WATER:

Holdman, PW: An existing six-inch waterline is present in the northwest corner of the site – it should be abandoned.

 

STORM DRAIN:

McCormick, PW: Detention will be required.  Public storm sewer will be required to serve Lot 5.

 

FIRE:

Calkins. Fire: No comment.

 

UTILITIES:

PSO: The existing overhead lines will need to be relocated.

Montereau In Warren Woods (PUD-641)           (CD-18) (CD-7)

¼ mile west of the northwest corner of 71st Street and Sheridan

 

Staff Recommendation:

GENERAL

The site sits on the north side of 71st Street, across from the Irving Avenue intersection.  It is in an area that includes a mix of office uses, multifamily development and zoning and single-family residences.  The area to the east and north is vacant and significantly vegetated.  The areas to the east and west are zoned RS-3 and OL.  RS-3 zoning is to the north with PUDs, and multifamily/seniors housing development to the south across 71st Street.

 

The proposed use is seniors housing.

 

The site has significant topography, which will be a factor in the development of the site, particularly regarding access and the relationship between the parking areas and the individual units. Grading plans will be important, particularly as they relate to the amount of material being moved. Soils tests will be important if structures are to be placed in areas of fill.

 

STREETS

The plat shows two lots, one along the 71st Street frontage, the other over the remainder of the property. The southern lot will have access off of 71st Street. The remainder will have access off of South Granite Avenue.

 

Significant discussion regarding access occurred during the PUD hearing. The discussion revolved around the use of Granite Avenue as the primary access point. Granite is shown as a residential collector on the MSHP; however, the topography in the area may make it infeasible to tie to the north (at the Laureate Clinic) as indicated on the MSHP.

 

At the Commission, issues regarding dedication, paving, grade and alignment were touched upon. The plat shows access to Granite.  The details of access are not clear from the plat.

 

Some determination of the ultimate grade at the Granite/project intersection should be accomplished so that the Montereau access road does not have to be rebuilt in the future. The feasibility of the connection of Granite Avenue to the Laureate Clinic should be explored so that an ultimate grade can be estimated. The plat should provide information for Granite Avenue from the project area south to 71st Street so that the access route can be reviewed.

 

Emergency access to Lot 1 is currently shown through Lot 2.

 

SEWER

The utility plan indicates that sanitary sewer will tie in to an 8” VCP on the west.

 

WATER

Water will be served by tying in to an 8’ line running to the east and into a 12” DIP running to the south.

 

STORM DRAIN

Detention is not clear. A reserve area is indicated to the west of the western boundary.

 

UTILITIES

The site appears to be bounded by a proposed utility easement.

 

Staff provides the following information from TAC.

 

STREETS:

Somdecerff, Traffic:  Book and page reference for right-of-way along 71st Street should be shown (4915/2033).

 

French: Streets:  Existing median breaks should be shown.  Access will be allowed at existing breaks.  The utility easement along Granite Avenue should be outside the proposed right-of-way.  The ultimate alignment of Granite Avenue should be studied – the proposed location of Reserve A will, in effect, cut off all potential for connecting the street to the north. At a minimum, Reserve A should be located to allow for the potential of a future connection. Should a connection not be feasible, the need for the existing traffic light at Granite Avenue/71st Street should be reviewed.

 

SEWER:

Payne, PW:  It is not clear from the plat how Lot 2 will be sewered.  Appropriate easement should be shown.

 

WATER:

Holdman, PW: A restricted 20’ water line easement will be shown.  A main line extension will be required (20” line cannot be tapped).

STORM DRAIN:

McCormick, PW:  Existing flow paths shall be maintained (zero transfer of water into new drainage areas).

 

FIRE:

Calkins. Fire: No comment.

 

UTILITIES:

ONG:  Standard language should be used.

 

Staff recommends APPROVAL of the preliminary plat subject to the following:

 

WAIVER OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS:

None.

 

SPECIAL CONDITIONS:

 

1.

Reserve area should be located so as to not impede a future Granite Avenue connection to the north. In the alternative, engineering

2.

studies should be accomplished which show the feasibility of the connection. If it is determined by the City that connection is not feasible, Reserve A may be located as shown.

3.

Utility easements to be dedicated by this plat should be outside the Granite Avenue right-of-way.

4.

Median openings on 71st Street should be shown – access into lot 2 should line up with those openings.

5.

Book and page references for dedications should be shown.

6.

Sewer and water easements to serve Lot 2 should be shown to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.

7.

Mainline water line extension will be required.

Flow characteristics should be maintained – no transfer of flows into other drainage areas will be permitted.

9.

Standard covenant language should be included to satisfaction of utilities.
