Keating, 'A'15 77 Community Development THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Platming Director FROM: Eric Blad 15, Staff Planner, Curren Development SUBJECT: Frank Hooper's Request for Final Plat Approval for a Private Road Right -of -Way (45th Avenue Private Cul -de -Sac) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 27, 1998. DESCRIPTION AND CONDMONS: At its regular meeting of January 8, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the proposed preliminary plat for a private road right-of-way for a segment of 45th Avenue. Carter Associates, Inc., on behalf of Frank Hooper, is now requesting final plat approval for a private road right-of-way to be known as 45th Avenue. The subject roadway will be a private cul-de-sac segment of45th Avenue approximately 588' in length, located perpendicular to and on the south side of 8th Street, 775' west of 43rd Avenue. The requested private road plat will create right-of-way frontage for 5 large lots proposed by the applicant under a special affidavit of exemption request. The affidavit of exemption request submitted by the applicant proposes the creation of five 5+ acre parcels from a single 29f acre parcel (see attachment #4). Affidavits of exemption, which are approved at a staff level, allow the creation of parcels without platting lots and constructing formal subdivision improvements (eg. paved roads) provided each proposed parcel contains at least 200,000 square feet and satisfies minimum road frontage and access standards. All 5 proposed parcels are larger than 200,000 square feet and will be accessed from the proposed 45th Avenue roadway. Prior to staff approval of the applicant's affidavit of exemption request, the applicant must plat a private road right-of-way, such as the one now requested, to create legal road frontage for each proposed lot. The Board of County Commissioners is now to consider granting final plat approval for the private ANALYSIS• The County's land development regulations allow for the platting of unimproved private road right-of- way if such right-of-way does not serve a formal subdivision. Such is the case with this request. Under these provisions, platted private right-of-way roadways are exempt from road and drainage improvements, but must satisfy county standards in regard to access, alignment, dimensional requirements and environmental issues. The proposed final plat satisfies applicable regulations for creation of a private road right-of-way plat, and can be approved independent of the affidavit of exemption request now being processed by staff. Since the submitted final plat is in conformance with the approved preliminary plat and no improvements or dedications are required, the final plat request satisfies all final plat prerequisites. Based upon analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for the proposed 45th Avenue private road right-of-way. JANUARY 27, 1998 0 -10- 0
