Preliminary -plat of Bel Air `Addition, Part 6 located -west ofr'First Avenue and north ofCity ',High School; date filed: 4/23/75; 45 -day. - limitation: 6/7/75. STAFF The subject 22 lot subdivision ANALYSIS: submitted by City Development Company contains 8.5 acres. All -the lots within the subject addition are over 10,000, square feet 'in area, well in - excess of the required minimum lot size of 61000 square feet in the R1B Zone. The subjectaddition is the last'of the Bel, Air additions located west of First Avenue, :north _of Court Street, south of Rochester, Avenue, and east of Seventh Avenue and encompassesone of the few remaining undeveloped parcels within the neighborhood characterized by high quality homes. Unfortunately, that which should occur in the last.phase of a development plan like the placement of the last piece in a puzzle doesn't because of the lack of"foresight or perhaps poor basic planning. `Undoubtedly there had been some misconception' ,of the function of-a"collector street as one might observe in analyzing a'dilemma regarding' the easterly, extension_ of Glendale Road to intersect with First Avenue. The subdivider has indicated a reluctance to provide for the intersection of GlendaleRoad with First Avenue as ;planned since the -easterly extension of Glendale Road from -Seventh Avenue, because of -the -inevitable high volume, of vehicular traffic from origins and destinations beyond the immediate area through= a tranquil residential area. His concern becomes more apparent` if one considersthata motorist from Coralville could cross on the`rIowa-Avenue bridge,turn onto Jefferson Street from Madison `Street, -.and -travel east to First Avenue`- without negotiating a`. turn in an approximate two-mile distance. Glendale Road, a`31 -foot street, would be expected to carry a volume of traffic equivalent `- to=- arterial :street proportions. The -main function of a collector street is to filter traffic from local streets before their capacity is exceeded and then conduct it -to -arterials. It is not desirable for collectors to form a-continuous-network,<since 'there -may =then be.a:_tendency for traffic to use'.-the-�collector--as an arterial, -_thus- violating ;. one of the basic principles of residential planning -- to keep < through'; traffic out. It becomes apparent that GlendaleRoad should have been offset at Seventh Avenue. To augment the problem, thereisvirtually-no access from Glen- dales Road to Court Street between;_Se.venth_Avenue.and_First------ Avenue. irst --Avenue. If Glendale Road was not connected to -First Avenue, a resident in the subject addition must travel an approximate 1.2 miles -via -Seventh Avenue and _Court Street to _reach the intersection of Court Street with First Avenue. That which may be considered an inconvenience to the residents of the Bel Air Additions, however, does not effectuate their living environ- ment. There is no amenable solution short of redirecting traffic from Jefferson Street to -the arterial streets, Rochester Avenue and Court Street, at tremendous expense,- but inview of the alter- natives and their effects, a°majority of the staff members recommend that Glendale -Road -not intersect with First Avenue. It should be noted that Lots 15 -through 21 of the subject ------addition are double frontage `lots 'to`the desire of the'sub- divider --and the staff. --First Avenue is an -arterial street onto which access should be discouraged to; permit the free flow of traffic. It should also be .noted that to the north between the subject addition and the Montclair apartment complex, there is a parcel of undeveloped land with`an`approximate depth of -.447 feet and an approximate "frontage along, First Avenue of 212 feet. There are few alternatives to its development for single family,.use'including: utilization.of the entire parcel for a single family residence, division of 'the parcel into as many as three 71 by 447 foot :lots with frontage on ,First Avenue, or _division of_ -the parcel into four or more lots with access via a private drive fromFirstAvenue or Heather Circle or from Heather Circle extended north to the north property line _of 'the subject addition. _Approval of the subdivision as submitted would -limit-the alternativeslto the first two, neitherofwhich are unacceptable_ except that very deep lots have been dis- couraged. Irrespective of the design elements noted above, the staff finds -the -subdivision acceptable subject to the following additions and corrections: -_ 1. The easterly boundary line of the subdivision should be extended; to the existing westerly -right-of-way line of First.Avenue. 2. Thirteen feet of the easterly portion of the subdivision should be designated: -"13 'feet dedicated to the City of Iowa City for street purposes". 3. Location of the-paved'surface of each street should be illustrated and dimensioned. - PIks 11 z
