#3 Approve final plat of Willow Glade (File Res. #2009-588)Community Development Department Memorandum
May 1, 2009
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Duane Cherek, Planning Services Manager
SUBJECT: Action on a proposed resolution approving the final plat of Willow
Glade (File Resolution No. 2009-588).
RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTED MOTION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend
that the City Council support a motion to approve Resolution No. 2009-588
subject to the following conditions:
1. Assessments will be levied for the installation of sidewalk ($12,983.54), storm
sewer ($21,599.25), and street light ($5,077.50) improvements.
2. A municipal utility easement must be granted across the adjoining property to
the east to serve the plat area with sanitary sewer. A storm sewer and
drainage easement must also be granted to the City to convey stormwater
runoff across the property to the east.
3. The developer should contact, respectively, the Engineering Department and
City Clerk’s Office for information regarding the scheduling of public works
improvements and for information on any outstanding taxes, special
assessments, or other fees which must be satisfied.
REQUEST
Jack Willow Investments requests approval of a final plat for Willow Glade
subdividing approximately 2.5 acres of land into single-family lots on the City’s
north side. The plat is located along Castlemoor Drive north of Stonemoor Drive.
The property is currently zoned R1-Single and Two-Family Residence.
ANALYSIS
A. The applicant proposes to subdivide approximately 2.5 acres of land on the
City’s north side into six single-family lots. In the future, Outlot-1 will be
further subdivided into single-family residential lots when Castlemoor Drive is
extended north and the adjoining land owner proposes to subdivide that
property. At that time, transfers of land between the owners will be necessary
to create uniform-shaped lots.
B. The property is zoned R1 Single and Two-Family Residence. The R1 zone
district is consistent with the applicant’s desire to create single-family home
lots in this area. Additionally, the final plat complies with the requirements of
the Subdivision Ordinance except as otherwise noted in the recommendation
section of the report.
C. In order to accommodate stormwater run-off created by this development,
conveyance of a storm water and drainage easement on adjoining property to
the east must be granted. Construction of storm water improvements will be
installed by the City within this future greenbelt area. Additionally, a sanitary
sewer easement across the adjoining property to the east will be required to
serve the plat area with sanitary sewer service.
D. In accordance with the City’s sidewalk Ordinance, sidewalks are to be
constructed along the Castlemoor Drive frontage of Lots 1-4 and Outlot-1 and
along the Willow Run frontage of Lot 5. A note to this affect has been added
to the final plat.
E. No parkland will be dedicated with this plat since those requirements have
been previously satisfied through significant greenbelt dedications in earlier
phases of platting activity in this area. However, all future residential
development that occurs on the balance of the applicant’s undeveloped
landholding will be subject to parkland dedication requirements or payment of
monies in lieu of dedication specified under the Subdivision Ordinance.
F. Utility, street light, and storm sewer easements, as requested by the
Engineering Department and utility companies serving the area, must be
included on the final plat.
G. The City’s recently adopted Comprehensive Plan identifies this property as
appropriate for planned neighborhood development, and is therefore
consistent with the applicant’s desire to create five single-family home sites.
H. The developer should contact the Engineering Department regarding the
scheduling of public works improvements and the City Clerk’s Office
regarding any outstanding taxes, assessments, or other fees which must be
paid.
PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – MARCH 16, 2009
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward the final plat of Willow
Glade to the City Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the
conditions listed in Section I.
