45-day limitation period: October 1,2000
60-day limitation period: October 16, 2000
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Walden Wood Partners II, LLP, is requesting a final plat for a Resubdivision of Lot
52, Walden Hills, located on the west side of Shannon Drive, south of Willow Creek. This parcel
contains approximately 4.89 acres and is zoned Sensitive Areas Overlay - Medium Density
Residential (OSA-8).
The rezoning and sensitive areas development plan for the Walden Hills development was
approved in 1997. At that time, Lot 52 was approved for the development of eight four-unit
townhouse buildings arranged around a pedestrian open space in the center of the property.
Earlier this year, an application was filed to amend that plan to replace the proposed townhouses
with 19 detached single-family dwellings on individual lots arranged around a cul-de-sac. A
preliminary plat was submitted at that time also. That application is currently pending before City
Council.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed final plat appears to be in general conformance with the City's subdivision
regulations and the preliminary plat. Approval of legal papers and construction drawings will be
needed prior to consideration of the plat by the City Council. Approval of this plat should also be
subject to the approval of the revised sensitive areas development plan and preliminary plat
currently pending before Council.
When this property was rezoned along with the rest of the 40+ acre Walden Hills property in 1997,
a conditional zoning agreement was adopted that contained conditions that apply to the
development of Lot 52. -To ensure that there was an incentive for the developer to construct
Shannon Drive to the north property line, the agreement specifies that this will occur along with
the development of Lot 52. In addition to the conditional zoning agreement, the sensitive areas
development plan included the planting and maintenance of evergreen trees along the west
property line, including the west line of Lot 52, to help buffer the development from Highway 218.
The trees that were planted along this frontage should be maintained within this development. A
proposed conditional zoning agreement in association with the revised development plan currently
pending before Council reiterates both of these requirements to ensure that they are carried
through with the development of the property. The legal papers should reflect these
requirements, as well. However, neither is addressed in the current draft of the legal papers.
The proposed plat illustrates one new public street, Andtea Court. Along the new street a total of
19 lots are to be platted. Consistent with the City's policy regarding access to corner and double-
frontage lots, a note has been added to the plat that prohibits direct vehicular access to Lots 1, 16
and 19 from Shannon Drive, a collector street, as noted on the preliminary plat. This should be
carried over into the legal papers for this subdivision as well. Instead, all vehicular access should
come from the local street, Andrea Court. An 8-foot sidewalk is planned for the west side of
Shannon Drive to connect Rohret Road and the Willow Creek Trail, for which the City will pay the
oversize paving costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB00-0018, a request for a final plat for the Resubdivision of Lot 52,
Walden Hills, a 4.89 acre, 19-1ot residential subdivision located on the west side of Shannon
Drive, south of Willow Creek, be approved, subject to the approval of legal papers and
construction drawings prior to City Council consideration of the plat, and subject to the approval of
the revised sensitive areas development plan and preliminary plat currently pending before the
City Council.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Steve Kohli Construction, LC, is requesting a final plat of South Pointe Addition,
Pad 7, a resubdivision of podions of Pads 2 and 3 of South Pointe Addition. The subject property
is located at the west end of Langenberg Avenue and Hemingway Lane, and includes
approximately 8.08 acres. The original Pads 2 and 3 have been final platted but have not yet
been developed. As noted during the preliminary plat review of Pad 7, approval of this plat will
result in a decrease in the number of lots previously approved for this property from 37 down to
25.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed final plat is in general conformance with the City's subdivision regulations and the
approved preliminary plat, although there are a few deficiencies that will need to be corrected as
noted below. Public Works has not yet completed its review of the most recent revised plat. Staff
recommends deferral pending the resolution of these items. Construction drawings and legal
papers have been submitted and are under review. Both the construction drawings and legal
papers will have to be approved prior to City Council consideration of the plat.
The proposed final plat includes the extension of Langenberg Avenue and the construction of
Russell Drive as previously approved on the final plat for South Pointe Addition, Pads 1-6.
However, a cul~de-sac previously proposed at the end of Hemingway Lane, west of Russell Drive,
is to be eliminated to accommodate a storm water management basin. This larger basin will be
maintained by a homeowners association, and will replace the two smaller basins previously
approved. In total, 25 building lots and two outlots are being proposed to replace 37 approved lots
that included storm water management basins in many of the rear yards.
Due to the presence of hydric soils, a drainable base and drain tiles will be incorporated into the
street design of both Langenberg Avenue and Russell Drive. The preliminary plat also contained
notes indicating that homes with basements will have foundation tile and sump pits, as required
for Pads 1-6 of this subdivision, and specifying minimum low opening elevations for several of the
lots. These notes should be carried over to the final plat as well.
The preliminary plat for this property illustrated a temporary turnaround located at the end of
Langenberg Avenue on Lot 143. Due to the length of this stub street, a turnaround is needed for
service and emergency response vehicles. The final plat should contain an easement for this
turnaround.
Neighborhood Open Space fees were paid for this property at the time of the platting of South
Pointe, Pads 1-6. No additional open space requirements apply for this property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB00-0017 be deferred pending the resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies listed below. Upon resolution of these items, staff recommends that the request for
a final plat of South Pointe Addition, Pad 7, an 8.08 acre, 25-1ot residential subdivision located at
the west end of Langenberg Avenue and Hemingway Lane, be approved, subject to the approval
of construction drawings and legal papers prior to City Council consideration of the plat.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. An error of closure statement is needed, as required by the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. Temporary turnaround easement missing on Lot 143.
3. The off-site easements to the south of the subject property should be labeled as existing.
4. Notes 4 and 10 from the preliminary plat, regarding minimum low opening elevations and
the requirement for homes with basements to have foundation tile and sump pits, should be
included on the plat.
5. Public Works review of the most recent revised plat is not yet complete.

SITE INFORMATION:
Public utilities: City sewer and water are not available to

2
individual wells or one or more common

Public services: Police protection would be provided by
Johnson County. Fire protection would
be provided by Solon.
Transportation: There are no regular transit routes
serving this area.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance: The Sensitive Areas Ordinance does not
apply on this property since it is not within
the City limits. The properly contains
areas that would be classified as
protected and critical slopes and
woodlands if the property were covered
by the ordinance, as well as a pond. The
proposed development plan appears to
generally avoid disturbance of these
areas.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Westcott Partners II, L.L.P., is requesting a preliminary plat of Westcott Heights,
Part Three, a 102.6 acre, 53-1ot residential subdivision located on the west side of Prairie du
Chien Road, south of Newport Road. The property is located within Fringe Area A, and a portion
was recently rezoned by the County to allow residential development to take place. The City
reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed rezoning. The proposed plat will have to
demonstrate compliance with both the subdivision regulations and the Fringe Area Agreement.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary plat appears to be generally consistent with the City's subdivision
regulations and the Fringe Area Agreement. There are a few deficiencies that remain, which are
listed at the end of this report, and Public Works' review of the plat is not yet complete. Staff
recommends deferral pending the resolution of these items and the completion of a full review of
the plat to ensure technical compliance with the subdivision regulations. It is anticipated that
these items will be taken care of prior to the Commission's October 5 meeting. A grading plan is
also required due to slopes on the property that exceed 25 percent. The grading plan must be
approved prior to City Council consideration of the plat.
The Fringe Area Agreement states that rezonings to RS, Suburban Residential, can occur within
Area A provided that 50 percent of the property is set aside as open space or for agriculture. The
intent is to encourage cluster or conservation subdivision design when development occurs in the
unincorporated area. Because the western portion of the property was zoned RS prior to the
adoption of the Agreement, only the eastern 43.17 acres is subject to this provision. However, it
appears that the applicant has chosen to apply this "cluster" development principle to the entire
property. In staff's opinion, the proposed street and lot layout represents a good example of a
cluster subdivision, with development generally planned to occur outside of wooded and sloped
areas, and a substantial portion of the property set aside as common open space.
3
The proposed plat contains a total of 53 building lots ranging in size from .57 to 1.34 acres,
arranged along several new streets, along with four outlots totaling 53.5 acres. Access is
proposed via a new street intersecting with Prairie du Chien Road at the southeast corner of the
property, as well as a street extension from Westcott Drive, a road within the original Westcott
Heights subdivision located immediately to the north of this property. Prairie du Chien Road has
recently been improved in this area and should be able to accommodate the additional traffic
generated by this development. The Westcott Drive street connection was reserved when that
area was platted as a means of addressing secondary access concerns. This connection will
provide secondary access to both this subdivision and earlier portions of Westcott Heights,
improving neighborhood circulation and emergency vehicle access for both developments.
The timing of the connection to Westcott Drive also needs to be considered. When the Westcott
Heights plat was discussed, it was noted that development of the property to the south should not
be permitted to simply build out along the drive leading south from Westcott Drive. This would
exacerbate the single access situation that currently exists within Westcott Heights. Rather,
development of the subject property should not proceed until a street connection is made to
Prairie du Chien Road. Conversely, to ensure that the street connection between the two
developments is actually constructed, plat approval should also be conditioned upon a
requirement that this connection be made prior to building construction on lots 1-22. This would
provide enough incentive to ensure that this street connection is made. At staff's request, notes
have been added to the plat to address this issue, but are in need of some adjustments. When
the final plat is submitted for this property, these provisions should be incorporated into the legal
papers as well.
A third potential street connection is shown to the property to the south. The south end of Lyle
Drive is a stub street that contains a temporary cul-de-sac, with an easement to permit the future
extension of the roadway to the south. This connection could provide benefits similar to the
connection that was reserved within Westcott Heights previously.
The street system being proposed generally meets or exceeds City Rural Design Standards, the
standards in place for review of plats within the two-mile fringe area, but outside of the City's
growth area. One exception is Anita Circle, which is proposed as a 14-foot wide loop street that
would provide access to 8 or 9 lots. The wide median is due to a 100-foot wide pipe-line
easement that crosses the property. Streets can cross the easement, but apparently cannot run
parallel to or over the pipeline within the easement area. Given the unique situation, low density,
and the low probability that cars will be parked along the street in this area, staff feels that this
street design is reasonable. As noted above, Public Works has yet to submit comments on this
plat.
The Rural Design Standards require a letter of approval from the appropriate fire department prior
to plat approval. In this case, the Solon Fire Department will be the primary provider of fire
protection. This is a submittal requirement and the letter should be provided at the time the plat is
filed, but responses are often delayed due to the volunteer nature of the town fire departments.
Therefore, staff recommends that this plat be conditioned upon a letter from the Solon department
being received prior to City Council approval of the plat.
The applicant is proposing the installation of two community septic mounds to serve the lots within
this development. The Johnson County Health Department will have to approve the system
before the County can approve the plat. Staff has not yet heard from the Health Department
regarding the proposed septic mounds.
Two of the proposed streets contain substantial medians or islands within the proposed rights-of-
way, Outlots E and F. If well maintained, these features have the potential to be attractive
amenities within the subdivision. The plat indicates that these areas will be maintained by a
homeowners association.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB00-00022 be deferred pending the resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies listed below and the completion of the review of the plat by Public Works. Upon
resolution of these items, staff recommends that the request for a preliminary plat of Westcott
Heights, Part Three, a 102.6 acre, 53-1ot residential subdivision located on the west side of Prairie
du Chien Road, south of Newport Road, be approved, subject to the approval of a grading plan
and the receipt of a letter of approval from the Solon Fire Department prior to Council
consideration of the preliminary plat;
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The note regarding the timing of the connection to Prairie du Chien Road should reference all
lots, not just Lots 24-53.
2. Per the Fringe Area Agreement, a fire rating must be established for the proposed subdivision,
and a letter of approval is needed from the Solon Fire Department.
3. Public Works' review of the plat is not yet complete.
