lh. Docket No. 42-'02 PP; Sedgwick Subdivision (primary Plat)
The applicant seeks approval to plat a 27-10t residential subdivision on 33.161 acres. The

Filed by David Warshauer for GWZ Development-I, LLC.
The applicant is proposing a 27-10t subdivision on approximately 33 acres. The site is located
off of West 131 st Street between the recently approved Lakes at Hayden Run and Shelboume
Park Subdivisions (please see the connectivity exhibit provided by the applicant at the back of
their information packet).
Please see the informational packet provided by the applicant to view the layout of the lots and
the areas provided as open space. The applicant has laid out the subdivision to address all of the
issues discussed by the Plan Commission over the last few months regarding the other
subdivisions in the area. As noted earlier the applicant has provided a connectivity plan that
shows the other subdivisions in the area. They have included a main roadway serving the
subdivision to stub to the west and east prov. iding for the connection of the roadway that will
ili Th
connect 126 Street to the south, to 146 Street to the north between Towne and Shelbourne
Roads in the future. The Thoroughfare Plan supports the connection. As we have previously
discussed, this is one of those other subdivisions planned for the area that is providing for the
construction ofthe connections. To that end and in an effort to ensure that new developments are
complying with all applicable standards, as with other subdivisions in the area, the applicant has
memorialized road improvements by commitment. A draft has been submitted to the Department
and a signed agreement should be available by the meeting date. The subdivision has some
frontage on 131 st Street and the commitment will be in a similar format to other recently
approved subdivisions. The primary plat conforms to the requirements of the Subdivision
Control Ordinance with one exception. A Subdivision Waivers is being requested to reduce the
minimum curve radius of 150 feet. The Department is in support of this request and no objection
has been made by the County Highway Department regarding the request.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded to the Subdivision Committee on
June 4th for further discussion.
However, if there are no concerns raised by the public or comments from Plan Commission
members that may be resolved in committee, the Department would recommend that the
Plan Commission suspend its rules and move to approve both the Subdivision Waiver and
Primary Plat at this meeting subject to final landscape plan approval by Scott Brewer,
DOCS Urban Forester. .
Additional Note: As a Subdivision Waiver and Primary Plat, written findings are required for
action on both items.
