Filed by Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth & Associates for Glenn E. Christian.
The following report has not changed significantly from last month (prior to the last committee
meeting). The applicant has not yet provided additional information to the Department for
review as requested.
The Department Report for the above two items has been consolidated into this single report.
The two items relate to a request to plat 23 lots on approximately 28 acres at the northwest comer
of 106th Street and Ditch Road.
The public hearing for the proposed Crooked Stick Sanctuary Subdivision was held in
November. The ~ublic hearing for the amendment to Spring Rum Estates, Section 1 was held at
the December 18 meeting. The Crooked Stick Sanctuary item was continued at the December
Subdivision Committee meeting to provide time for the applicant to explore access onto 106th
Street and report back to the committee after the public hearing on the amendment to the Spring
Run plat. The petitions were continued at the January Committee meeting at the request of the
applicant.
Briefly, the applicant is proposing to plat a 23-1ot subdivision on approximately 24 acres in an S-
1 zone. The subdivision lies on the west side of Ditch Road and north side of 106th Street
adjacent to the Spring Run Subdivision. To derive access onto Crooked Stick Lane it is
necessary to amend Block "A" of the Spring Run Primary Plat (see attached exhibits). Block

"A" in Spring Run Estates is the block identified as Block "A" in the proposed Primary Plat of
Crooked Stick Sanctuary. The requirement to file the Primary Plat Amendment will allow it to
be removed from the Spring Run Subdivision and included in the proposed subdivision. The
Department is in support of the request, as it will reduce the number of drive cuts onto 106th
Street within the short proximity to the intersection of Ditch Road.
In addition, in order to gain approval of both the proposed subdivision and the amendment to the
Spring Run plat the developer should be re~uired to make necessary improvements to the
intersection of Crooked Stick Lane and 106 Street. This matter is of primary importance and
should be discussed at this meeting. The applicant should have additional information to share
with the Committee. To date no new information has been submitted to the Department.
The applicant is also seeking the approval of four subdivision waivers related to the following:
1. Forego the installation of a stub street to the property to the north.
2. Construct both cul-de-sacs exceeding the Ordinance maximum 600-foot length.
3. Orient the front of homes toward the interior street as opposed to 106th and Ditch as
required by Ordinance.
4. Provide access to the subdivision from only one point of access.
The requests for the subdivision waivers justifies the need to see improvements in the way of
landscaping and treatment along 106th and Ditch in excess of what is traditionally seen in these
situations as well as improvements to the intersection of 106th and Crooked Stick.
The Department recommends that this item be continued to the March 5th committee
meeting at which time the proposed improvements to Crooked Stick and 106th Street may
be reviewed. In addition, the applicant should provide the committee with a copy of the
following for review:
1. Detailed landscape plan identifying existing, proposed landscaping, and the
plantings to be removed.
2. Detailed plan identifying construction of proposed wall.
3. Copy of proposed written commitments concerning the above-mentioned items as
they relate to consideration for granting of the necessary subdivision waivers.
4. Details on the existing and proposed condition of the intersection of 106th and
Crooked Stick.
Specifically, the Department is in support of the necessary subdivision waivers only if the
applicant is providing written commitment to the improvements (both on site and within
the right-of-way) to offset the negative impact associated with the approval of the
subdivision waivers.
If the applicant is unwilling to make the necessary improvements the Department
recommends the Committee forward the Primary Plat and Primary Plat Amendment
requests back to the full Plan Commission with negative recommendations. At that time
the Department would recommend that the Plan Commission deny the subject waivers and
