Agenda Item Summary:
The petitioner applied for an exception request to waive the requirements to provide additional pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, handicap ramps, street light conduit and water main in Creek Drive, which would to allow for an industrial/commercial development to occur adjacent to Creek Drive without improvements to the road. Staff denied the exception request based on the following. Subdivision improvements including pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street light conduit, water main and sewer main are triggered during the platting process for all adjacent roadways. The proposed Market Square Subdivision plat (City File 18PL038) has frontage to Creek Drive for approximately 635’. The existing Creek Drive roadway consists of 20’ wide rural pavement section with inadequate drainage facilities, an 8” sewer main and 12” water main in a portion of the road. Approximately 300’ of adjacent Creek Drive is void of water main. An extension of the 12” water in Creek Drive from its current terminus to connect to the water main in East St. Patrick Street is required to eliminate a long dead end water main which is approximately 1700’ today. Water main looping will provide redundancy within the water system and additional domestic and fire flows for the proposed development Creek Drive is an arterial street identified on the City’s major street plan requiring a minimum 36’ wide pavement with curb, gutter, sidewalk, street light conduit, water and sewer. The alignment of Creek Drive may need to be adjusted at the East St. Patrick Street intersection and this is something the City would work with the developer to achieve. Subdivision improvements should be installed at the time of plat, as required by Ordinance to support the proposed development. The petitioner is appealing the Staff denial to the City Council. Please note that Staff did approve of an exception for this project to not construct a dual water main in adjacent Creek Drive (City File 18EX069).
