TECHNICAL ISSUES
1. A 20’ utility easement must be provided along the perimeter of all subdivisions when abutting unplatted property or a 10’ utility easement is required if accompanied by a 10’ off-site easement (40.2.3.B).
2. The ’Statistical Data’ chart should clarify as to what items B-F and H are referring.
3. “Limits-of-no-Access” is required on the frontages of Lot 1 on Wolverine Road.
4. Surrounding owners and abutting subdivisions must be identified on the Preliminary Plat.
5. A note listing any approved variances must be placed on the Preliminary Plat
6. A street name is needed for the proposed public street.
7. 100 foot right of way plus 50' private property strip: The Plat should clearly show the 50’ strip on the east of the new public street is private property and is a part of Lot 1, Block 1. This 50 foot strip can also have a utility easement over it, but physically must be part of Lot 1 in order to put a sign on it at Wolverine Road.
8. SIGN: The Preliminary Plat shows a 'sign' located in the public right-of-way on Wolverine Road. The sign must be located in the 50' private property strip, east of the r-o-w. An application for a sign permit must be submitted to the building department for review and approval for size, location, height, etc.
9. Public Improvement Plans must be submitted for review.
10. Proposed “T’ turnaround: The turn-around pavement area should only go (east) up to the right-of-way line - at the 100 foot mark and not into private property - the 50' strip.
11. A note listing any approved variances must be placed on the Preliminary Plat
12. A revised Preliminary Plat must be submitted for City files.
Variance request:
(1) The developer is requesting a variance to the Subdivision Regulations’ Sidewalk requirements, Section 40.2.8 of the Shawnee sidewalk ordinance that requires a six (6) foot sidewalk. Given the industrial nature of the area, the request is to not require sidewalks on the industrial street or on Wolverine Road.
(2) The developer is requesting a variance to Section 40.2.1.T: dead-end street length and cul-de-sac radius, terminus location, and design. Section 40.2.1.T limits a cul-de-sac to 500 feet in length, a radius of 40 feet at the curb line, and a terminus no closer than 100 feet from the right-of-way line. The new industrial road serving Vanguard and providing a second means of access to Wolverine Tube is 1300 feet in length. The developer proposes a variation of a ‘T’ turnaround at the end of the public road. The road would continue on into the Vanguard development with additional parking and turning areas provided. The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and has given verbal approval of the current plan. The Shawnee Fire Department will review the final improvement plans to identify if there are any issues for their fire fighting equipment.
Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to technical issue 1-12 being met and approval of the variances. Ms. McNayr asked that the variances be voted on separately before approving the preliminary plat.
There was a lengthy discussion between the Commission and Nancy McNayr. Skip Landes answered questions from the Commission.
Chairman Holt asked for a motion, Commissioner Jones made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Nickles to grant the variance to the sidewalk requirement.
