RE:
Spruce Hill - Preliminary Plat
FILENO.:
405 (92.11)
The property is presently occupied by a home and three outbuildings. It is ZOI'led R-1A,
Single-Family Residential, as is all of the property surrounding it.
ANALYSIS/RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the proposed plat and the zoning and subdivision requirements of
Shorewood's ordinances, following is how the subdivision complies with City requirements:
, .
A. Lot Size. Although the preliminary plat shows all lots to be 40,000 square feet or
larger, calculations suggest that at least two of the lots (Lots 1 and 4) are slightly less
in area. The discrepancies are considered slight, however, and it appears that some
of the lots are slightly larger than 40,000 square feet in area. It is recommended that
the applicant's surveyor provide exact lot areas with a final plat, demonstrating that
the lots average no less than 40,000 square feet.

Re: Spruce Hill '
Preliminary Plat
31 May 1992
The buildable area of Lot 7 presents some concern. Although 55 feet of depth is
adequate to build a house, it is somewhat limiting. It appears that the depth of the
buildable area could possibly be enhanced if the street was shortened and the cul-de-
sac shifted to the east. Such a modification should result in slightly lower
improvement costs also.
Also, relative to buildable area, the setbacks for Lots 2 and 6 should be corrected.
The northerly boundary of Lot 2 constitutes the rear of that lot, while the west side of
the lot is a side yard. This results in more usable buildable area for the lot. The
northerly lot line for Lot 6 is also a rear yard with a 50 foot setback. The proper
setbacks for all the lots are shown on Exhibit C. "
B.
, -
Proposed Street. Spruce Court complies with the width and cul-de-sac diameter
requirements of Shorewood's Subdivision Ordinance. '
The existing grade at the south end of the proposed street is approximately 10
percent. The detailed grading plan to be provided with the fmal plat should achieve a
maximum street grade of six percent.
The construction plans for the street should also attempt to create as near to a 90
degree intersection with Yellowstone Trail as possible. Plans for the street will be
subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
It should be realized that the road in its proposed location can serve future
development to the east. At least one additional lot can be created on the parcel to
the east, and more if the road is extended.
C. Grading, Drainage and Utilities. Plans for these items are submitted with the final
plat. Preliminary plat approval should, therefore, be conditioned upon the City
Engineer's review and approval. One determination to be made is whether or not on-
'mIe ~ 1J1i1lllngrp4uirmhst also show proposed building pad elevations.
. /
D. Existing House. The developer proposes to build a new driveway to serve the
existing house. This should be shown on the detailed grading plan.
The developer has been advised that the outbuildings must be removed or moved onto
Lot 1, in compliance with zoning requirements.

preliminary plat. At that time the developer must submit an up-to-date title opinion
for review by the City Attorney.
-
2. The final plat should include lor sizes. The lots should average no less than 40,000
square feet in area.
3. The developer should consider shortening the street to increase the buildable depth of
Lot 7.'
4. Plans and specifications for the street, grading, drainage and utilities shall be subject
to the approval of the City Engineer.
5. Street plans should be designed with a maximum grade of six percent, and intersect
. with Yellowstone Trail as near to 90 degrees as possible.
6. A detailed grading plan showing building pad elevations must be provided with the
fmal plat. The grading plan should also show the new driveway for the existing
house.
7. The outbuildings must be removed or moved onto Lot 1 in compliance with
applicable zoning requirements.
8. Upon approval of a final plat the developer must pay $4500 in park dedication-fees
($750 x 6; credit is given for the existing house).
9. Upon approval of a final plat the developer must pay $6000 in local sanita.!'Y sewer
availability charges ($1000 x 6; credit is given for the existing house).
