May 11, 2009
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Al Hulick, Development Specialist
SUBJECT: Action on a proposed resolution approving the Final Plat of Afton
Reserve (File Resolution No. 2009-598).
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend
that the City Council support a motion to approve Resolution No. 2009-598
approving the final plat of Afton Reserve.
SUGGESTED MOTION
To make a motion approving Resolution No. 2009-598 approving the Final Plat of
Afton Reserve.
REQUEST
Hendricks Land Development, LLC, has requested final plat approval of Afton
Reserve which will subdivide 24.16 acres into 12 rural residential lots located
outside the City within Rock Township. The subject plat area is located south of
Cemetery Road and west of County Highway D approximately 0.5 miles south of
the City limits. Since this survey is within the City’s extraterritorial plat review
area, Plan Commission review and approval is necessary.
BACKGROUND
The City Council previously reviewed and approved this final plat in October
2006. However, the Developer decided to not record the plat at that time.
Because the statutory timeframe of 24 months required for recording of the plat
has expired, the final plat of Afton Reserve has been resubmitted for review and
approval by the Plan Commission and City Council.
ANALYSIS
A. The property is currently vacant crop land with agricultural land to the
west, rural residential homes to the north and east and a combination
of rural residential and agricultural uses to the south.
B. On 6 February 2006, the Plan Commission reviewed and conditionally
approved the preliminary plat. The final plat has been prepared in
compliance with those conditions of preliminary plat approval.
C. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Single-Family
Exurban which allows for rural residential development.
D. The plat proposes to create12 rural residential lots, including 2 outlots,
ranging from 0.9 acres to 10.5 acres in size. The plat expands upon
an existing rural residential development adjoining to the south. The
lots comply with the subdivision ordinance standards and are generally
consistent with the size and character of other lots within this area.
E. Since the plat is outside of the City limits and beyond an area expected
to be served by the City in the future, no sidewalks, streetlights, or
sewer service is planned.
F. The necessary drainage and utility easements are shown on the plat,
including the requisite notes regarding the use of those facilities.
IV. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 20 APRIL 2009
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward the final plat of
Afton Reserve to the City Council with a favorable recommendation.
