JAN 61982 -I WK 48 FA,F489 Site plan approval for office/townhouse complex was recently granted for the property immediately west of the subject property and an office/warehouse facility is proposed to the south. Mobile homes and scattered commercial development is located to the west, across 43rd Avenue. Several single family subdivisions are located in the vicinity of this proposed subdivision. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The Technical Review Committee requested the following additions to the subdivision plan: 1) Cross drainage must be provided in any block which exceeds 600 feet. Side lot easements are needed to route some of the drainage through the side lots. 2) A ten foot right-of-way along 1st Street, S.W. was desig- nated to be dedicated to the County. This was not sufficient as 20 feet was needed in order to establish a-50 foot right- of-way. The developer agreed to both of these requests and amended the sub- division plan to reflect these changes. The proposed thoroughfare plan, which was developed after the TRC meeting, designates 1st Street, S.W. as a secondary collector which requires a minimum of 80 feet of right-of-way. The County staff requested that the applicant establish a 40 foot building setback line on the two lots which front on lst Street, S.W. The applicant did not agree to this request. The additional setback would allow for future right-of-way needs and provide for a 10 foot building setback if the right-of-way is required. - The procedure as outlined in the County's Subdivision Ordinance for preliminary plat approval does not require review by the County's legal staff. Generally, planning and engineering items are addressed at this point in the subdivision process. The request for final plat approval will include: a certificate -of -completion from the engineer of record; a waiver of liens; and any performance bonds and deed restrictions, which -may be required. RECOMMENDATION: Although the proposed subdivision is compatible with the nearby existing land uses and the -County's Subdivision Ordinance has been complied with, the staff recommends Preliminary Plat Approval be denied. The reason for this recommendation is that the preliminary plat does not conform to the proposed thoroughfare plan which recommends 80 feet of right-of-way on_lst Street, S.W. If future expansion of 1st Street, S.W. occurs it. is probable that the County would have to acquire two single family homes which may be located in the required right-of-way. 7=
