DEPARTMENT REPORT
JANUARY 19, 2011
5. Docket No. 10120002 PP Amend: Replat of North Augusta, lots 20 29A
The applicant seeks primary plat amendment approval to create 5 lots from 2, on 3.14 acres. The sites are
located at 3802 W 96` St. and 9640 N. Augusta Dr. They are zoned B -5 and B -7 /Business, within the US
421 Michigan Rd. Overlay Zone. Filed by William Niemier for Sand Capital IX, LLC.
The applicant seeks approval to create 5 commercial lots from 2. A total of 3.14 acres is affected. The site is
known as Majestic Corner Plaza. The street is currently undergoing improvements by the County as it will be
connected north to Commerce Drive. Please view the petitioner's latest information packet for further detail.
Staff's outstanding comments for the petitioner:
1. Petitioner needs to work with the Building Permits Department on getting several final inspections (such as
final landscape plan inspection and final fire dept. inspection) and acquiring final Certificates of Occupancy.
2. The Hamilton County Surveyor's Office has no major concerns with this Primary Plat Amendment petition.
3. Please provide a copy of the current recorded plat for lot 29A.
4. Please rename the replat lot numbers to 20a, 20b, 30a, 3la, 32a, etc.
5. Please show /label the 5 -ft wide sidewalk, as required by the Comprehensive Plan Bicycle Pedestrian Plan
Map, along the north property line, and show /label an 8 -ft wide path along the east property lines.
6. The approved use for `lot 4' is to be future parking. If you deviate from that approved layout/use, you will
most likely need Plan Commission approval of a Development Plan Amendment petition.
7. The US 421 Overlay regulations require a 15 -ft side yard and rear yard building setback, when next to a
business zone. Please show /label this on the plat.
8. Please show /label the bufferyard setbacks, as required in zoning ordinance chapter 26.04.
9. Please show a front yard setback of 40 -ft in the B7 district and 15 -ft in B5. (We can discuss this further, due
to the taking of road right of way.)
10. 3802 W 96t St: there is a question about the 20 -ft front BSL along Augusta Drive, rather than a 40 -ft front
BSL.
11. If needed, we can meet to discuss these items, since there have been takings for road right of way, which
affect the prior building setback lines.
12. Engineering Dept: is concerned if the plan includes development of the presently undeveloped parcel. I am
not certain if the lot being created has adequate room for the detention and water quality systems that will be
required to develop this ground. It does not appear that such systems were master planned and are in place
for this lot to utilize. Also, is the City agreeable to what I assume would be an additional curb cut to serve
the undeveloped lot. If access is to be provided from the developed lot to the south; then no issue.
Recommendation: The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that the Plan Commission sends
this item to the Feb. 1 Special Studies Committee meeting for further review and discussion.
