Community Development Department Memorandum
July 13, 2009
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Al Hulick, Development Specialist
SUBJECT: Final CSM 09007-C, Marklein Builders, 1 Lot along Newcastle Drive.
I. RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend that
the City Council support a motion to approve Final CSM 09007-C subject to the
following conditions:
1. Payment of land division assessments for storm sewer ($7,757.15) and street
light ($1,346.52) improvements.
2. The developer should contact the Engineering Department regarding the
scheduling of public works improvements and the City Clerk’s Office regarding
any outstanding taxes, special assessments, or other fees which must be paid.
Outstanding special assessments, deferred or active on parcels within this plat
or survey, are subject to a minimum $300 split paid prior to signing.
II. REQUEST
Marklein Builders has requested the approval of a 0.83 acre one-lot CSM located
along Newcastle Drive. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is
being surveyed in order to create a lot for single-family residential development.
III. ANALYSIS
A. The applicant proposes to create a 0.83 acre lot. The proposed lot is zoned
R1-Single and Two-Family Residence. The subject lot is being created in
order to be developed with a single family residence. The subject lot is
surrounded by existing single-family residences.
B. Newcastle Drive was previously constructed across the frontage of the
subject site to provide a connection to Huntington Court to the east.
C. The Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan adopted by the City Council on
14 January 2008 establishes an official sidewalk map that affects all streets
in the City of Janesville. The map identifies the subject portion of Newcastle
Drive as part of the “orange sidewalk” category which signifies future
unplanned, unfunded sidewalk. In accordance with the Sidewalk
Ordinance, future unplanned, unfunded sidewalk will only be constructed at
the request of a resident, or as determined by the Engineering Department.
Therefore, this survey is not subject to special assessments for the
construction of sidewalk improvements at this time.
However, sidewalks are planned along the south side of Newcastle Drive
directly across from the subject site.
D. The final survey includes all existing utility easements and additional utility
easements as requested by the utility companies having rights to serve the
area. Existing utility easements remain in effect unless specific action is
taken to release said easements.
E. The developer should contact the Engineering Department regarding the
scheduling of public works improvements and the City Clerk’s Office
regarding any outstanding taxes, special assessments, or other fees which
must be paid. Any plat or survey with requested and scheduled
improvements, must be recorded by the preliminary resolution date.
Outstanding special assessments, deferred or active on parcels within this
plat or survey, are subject to a minimum $300 split paid prior to signing.
IV. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 6 JULY 2009
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward this survey to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the conditions listed in Section
I.
