PRE2005-00036 - Corey/Legacy Estates
From:
. Subject:
This is follow-up to our Pre-submittal meeting on 6/3/05 where there were unresolved issues
about the street system proposed for Legacy Estates. After discussing this matter with Ken
V ogeney and Brian Barnett, I am providing this statement of the staff position so that you may
. forward it to the applicant.
The Conceptual Local Street Map depicts Vera Street to be extended and connected to Hayden
Bridge Road in a manner that is not feasible due to existing platted subdivision streets in Grand
View Estates east of the Legacy site. The section of Vera Street to the west of the Legacy site
ends in an alignment that, if extended eastward, would require removal of existing structures on
Tax Lot 200. Thus, a clear plan for extending Vera Street to provided needed corinectivity is not
available.
Given these facts, Transportation Division staffis comfortable that the basic street layout
presented in the Pre-submittal documents would provide for future neighborhood street
J;.onnectivity. However, the following elements ofthe proposed layout need to be addressed for
completeness and SDC compliance:
1) The 50-foot centerline radii ofthe two curves through the partial cul-de-sacs do not meet
the 100-foot minimum for local streets established in SDC 32.020 (7).
2) Full development of the proposed partial cul-de-sac in the northwest corner of the site
would conflict with an existing residential structure on adjacent property (Tax Lot 100).
3) Additional information is required to completely depict what is being proposed at end of
16th Street. If access is being proposed at this point, .it appears that the width of 16th
Street would not be adequate for two-way traffic. 1fno access is proposed, then some
form of emergency vehicle turn-around would be needed.
