MINUTES Planning Commission Meeting: Application: Location: Owner: Applicant: Staff Contact: PR-16-009: Revised Site Development Plan for Saddlewood Storage 15310 South Mahaffie Street Don Plowman/P9 Investments, L.L.C. Schlagle & Associates, Jeffrey T. Skidmore Dan Fernandez

Comments: The proposal is for a 4,550 square foot addition to Building E for Saddlewood Storage located at 15310 Mahaffie Street. The development is currently under construction. A rezoning and preliminary development plan (RZ-10-03) for self-storage was approved in May 2002. The original plan showed 52,937 square feet of building area with RV Parking along the western boundary. A plan review application (PR-15-014) was approved last year for 55,250 square feet of building area and no spaces for RV parking. The 2015 plan approval had a 4% increase in building area from the original approval in 2003. Since the increase in building area was less than 5% and the layout followed the approved plan, the plan review application was approved by staff. The 4,550 square foot addition requested with this application increases the total additional building square footage by more than 10% from what was originally approved in 2003. Due to this overall increase, Planning Commission approval is required. Staff supports the request since the impervious surface for the entire project has only increased 7 square feet from the 2003 approved plan. 2. Site Design Standards: a. Parking - The parking requirement for mini-storage is three (3) spaces. The development has 4 total parking spaces with one of the spaces being handicap accessible. b. Access/Streets The site has one access drive onto Mahaffie Street. c. Landscaping/Open Space A landscaping plan was submitted an approved with the previous plan review application. Landscaping is provided on all four property

There are no changes proposed for the existing drainage and detention. 3. Building Design/Materials: The addition, which is located towards the rear of the property, will match the existing building in design and materials. The siding and doors will be metal and the roof is to be constructed of standing seam metal. 4. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of PR-16-009 with the following stipulations: a. Per UDO requirements, all exterior ground or building mounted equipment, including but not limited to mechanical equipment, utility meter banks and coolers, shall be screened from public view with landscaping or an architectural treatment compatible with the building architecture. b. All on-site wiring and cables shall be placed underground. Motion by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Almeida, to approve PR- 16-009, with the following stipulations: a.

Comments: The following is a request for a final plat, Boulder Creek, First Plat, containing 43 singlefamily lots on 27.0940± acres. This property was annexed and rezoned to R-1 in 2005 (ANX-05-012 and RZ-05-027, respectively). A preliminary plat was also filed at that time, but later expired (P-05-091). A new preliminary plat was approved on February 22, 2016 (P-16-002, called Stonebrook Farm at that time); this application includes Phase 1 and part of Phase 2 from the preliminary plat s phasing plan. It is the first final plat for the subdivision. The applicant indicates that homes are anticipated to be priced within the $250,000 to $350,000 range to match surrounding home styles. This phase of the subdivision includes trails and open space, and additional amenities such as a pool and clubhouse are planned for future phases. 2. Final Plat Review: a. Lots/Tracts The proposed subdivision includes a total of 43 single-family lots and 4 tracts. The precise uses permitted within the four tracts are listed in the Dedications
P-16-010 PC Minutes continued Page 2 section of the plat, but a brief summary is outlined in this paragraph. Tract A includes a stream corridor, and will be used for drainage and post construction stormwater treatment. Tract A also includes a Public Recreation Easement to allow the City to construct a future trail. Tract B will be used for open space, landscaping, and bicycle/pedestrian access. Tracts C and D will be medians at key intersections. All four tracts will be owned and maintained by the subdivision/hoa. The proposed lots range from 8,400 square feet to more than 16,000 square feet, with all lots meeting the minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. Most of the lots are approximately 70 feet wide, and all exceed the minimum lot widths of 60 feet for typical lots and 70 feet for corner lots. A 30 foot front yard setback is provided, with the exception of lot 25, where the applicant has opted to require a 45 foot setback to maintain a more linear and even row of houses along the west side of Heatherwood Street. 20 foot corner side yard setbacks are provided in accordance with UDO requirements. Lots are also subject to interior side yard setbacks and rear yard setbacks as required by the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO); however, these types of setbacks are not typically indicated on plats. b. Transitional Lot Standards All parcels that are adjacent to the plat are currently undeveloped, so transitional lot standards are not applicable to this plat. c. Oil Wells The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) has records for three plugged wells within the plat area. Well locations as mapped by the KGS were indicated on the preliminary plat (P-16-002); however these locations are not necessarily 100% accurate. None of these three wells is mapped within the buildable area of a lot. d. Open Space and Trails There is no common open space requirement in Site Design Category 1. However, this plat includes open space tracts designed for stormwater management, trails, landscaping, and active open space. A 50-foot wide public recreation easement shall be granted within Tract A for a future public trail, and a private trail connection between Lots 9 and 20 is required to be installed by the developer in order to allow access to this trail from within the subdivision. This connection is not indicated on the landscape plan, and shall be added prior to the plat being recorded. The landscape plan does show private trail connections from both Laurelwood Street and 170 th Court to Britton Street / 169 th Place, which provide important pedestrian shortcuts from the cul-de-sacs to the collector street. An 8-foot wide sidewalk shall be constructed along Mur-Len for the entire length of the plat area. This sidewalk shall be installed with the road improvements for the subdivision. e. Public Utilities The property is located within the Johnson County Wastewater and WaterOne service areas. The development shall provide adequate public facilities in accordance with Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) 18.30.040. f. Stormwater Runoff from the development will be controlled by future regional detention for the Coffee Creek watershed. Tract A includes a stream corridor, floodplain area, and post construction water quality BMPs. A stream corridor maintenance agreement has been submitted, and notice on the plat is provided in accordance with Title 17. g. Streets This plat follows the street layout approved with the preliminary plat. This phase will take access from Mur-Len Road via a new collector street, W. 169 th Place, which changes names to S. Britton Street as it curves north. This new collector street
P-16-010 PC Minutes continued Page 3 will eventually connect to 167 th Street upon construction of future phases of the subdivision. Blocks and cul-de-sacs are less than or equal to the maximum length permitted. No lots front onto collector or arterial streets, and adequate right-of-way is provided for all streets in accordance with UDO requirements. h. Landscaping Master landscaping / screening is required along Mur-Len Road, Britton Street, and 169 th Place. A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted to show how the landscaping will be placed to avoid conflicts with a sanitary sewer easement along Mur-Len Road. The master landscaping/ screening shall be extended south to the trail to ensure all lots are adequately screened. Street trees will also be required along the local streets per UDO requirements. A revised landscape plan shall be submitted prior to recording the plat. 3. Excise Taxes: The entire plat area is within either the 167 th Street or Mur-Len Road benefit districts, and is therefore exempt from street excise tax. The final plat is subject to a traffic signal excise tax of $0.0037 per square foot of land area. Arterial street right-of-way is exempt from excise taxes. The applicant will need to provide the area of right-of-way for Mur-Len Road to determine the net plat area. The excise fees shall be submitted to the City Planning Division prior to recording the final plat. 4. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of P-16-010 with the following stipulations: a.
