Docket No. PZ-2020-00223 PP: Jackson’s Grant Village Primary Plat. The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 19 lots on 22 acres. The site is located at the NW corner of 116th Street and Springmill Road. It is zoned Jackson’s Grant Village PUD (Ordinance Z-653-20). Filed by Douglas Wagner with Republic Development LLC. *Updates to the Dept. Report are in blue. Project Overview: This proposed primary plat seeks to create Section 1 in the Jackson’s Grant Village, which will consist of 19 single-family homes. There will be a minimum of 30% open space for the whole of Jackson’s Grant Village, per the PUD. The property was recently re-zoned to the Jackson’s Grant Village PUD, Ordinance Z-653-20. Future phases of Jackson’s Grant Village will require DP/ADLS approval from the Plan Commission for the townhome and neighborhood commercial sections of the PUD. Please see the Petitioner’s Information Packet for more details. PUD Standards this project MEETS: - Min. Lot widths - Min. Lot areas - Maximum number of single-family lots - 30% Minimum Common Area - Perimeter Landscaping - Tree Preservation Site Plan and Engineering: The site plan is in line with the Concept Plan that was submitted with the PUD. There will be entrances from 116th Street and Springmill Road. The neighborhood will also connect to the stub street to the north in Jackson’s Grant. Tree preservation and common areas are located throughout the subdivision. There will be a retention pond in the northern portion of the subdivision, and it will be planted with native grasses to help clean stormwater runoff, provide natural habitat, and give the pond a more natural appearance. The proposed street cross section for the subdivision will be 52 ft. wide, except for Otto Lane which will be 50 ft. wide to match the existing width for Otto Lane to the north. The 52 ft. width allows for 5 ft. sidewalks and 6 ft. tree lawns on both sides of the street, as well as parking on both sides of the street. Active Transportation: 5 ft. sidewalks are proposed on both sides of all streets as is required. A 10 ft. wide asphalt path already exists along Springmill Rd. and the petitioner will install path along 116th St. Architectural Design: This is a proposal for just the primary plat for the single-family portion of the neighborhood. Architectural standards have already been reviewed and approved as a part of the PUD requirements. The architectural standards will be enforced during the building permit phase of the project for the single-family homes. Lighting: Street lights are proposed per the PUD and will be limited to 15 ft. tall in the residential areas and 18 ft. tall in the commercial parking areas. Petitioner, please confirm these heights will be met and label this on the lighting plan. The character and design of the street lighting will be decorative and similar to the existing Jackson’s Grant lighting. Landscaping: The PUD requires a 40 ft. perimeter landscaping area along 116th to help buffer the views of sides and rears of homes. There is also a bufferyard easement shown along the west boundary of the property and tree preservation in the northwest corner. Per the Conditions of Enactment of the PUD Ordinance which were approved by the Council, there should be a 25 ft. wide bufferyard easement along a portion of the west boundary. Petitioner, please update the plans to show this as only 20 ft. is currently shown. Open space is shown on the Primary Plat and matches the concept plan in the PUD. A minimum of 30% of the site is to be Open Space and there are several neighborhood amenities provided in the common areas like covered pergola areas, and a pond overlook. Signage: There will be an entrance sign at the 116th Street entrance which will match the design of the other entry signs for the Jackson’s Grant neighborhood to the north. There is also a location for signage proposed at the entrance off of Springmill Rd., which will come through for review later. All signage is required to follow the standards in the UDO. 4 February 16, 2021 Public Hearing Recap: Petitioner presented the site plan which is only for the single-family residential portion of the PUD, and they updated the common area plan to show the extension of the tree preservation area. The approval is for the public roads as well and some of the parking along the roads will go in. None of the shaded areas are a part of this phase. 2 letters were submitted for the Public Hearing and concerned the extension of the Tree Preservation Area on the northern border. The Plan Commission asked about the details of the no construction signs, details of the perimeters of the pond, and the angled parking along the street and if westbound traffic would be able to turn into the angled parking. The project was sent to the Residential Committee with the Plan Commission having final approval. DOCS Remaining Comments: 1. Increase the portion of the western bufferyard easement to 25 ft. per the Conditions of the PUD. 2. Label the maximum heights for the street lighting. 3. Please ensure that No Construction signage will be posted per the requirements in the PUD. 4. Updated plans will need to be resubmitted for review once changes have been made. Recommendation: If all comments and concerns can be addressed, the Department of Community Services recommends the Committee votes to forward this item back to the Plan Commission with a Favorable Recommendation.
