Request for Final Plat Approval of Seventy-five (75) Single-Family
Residential Lots and Eleven (11) Common Lots on 22.16 Acres in an R-8
Zone for Champion Park Subdivision No. 2, by Hillview Development
Corporation (Fide No. FP-04-OIS).

APPLICATION SUMMARY & LOCATION
The applicant, Hillview Development Corporation, has requested final plat approval of the
second phase of Champion Park Subdivision (preliminary platted under the name Parkstone
Subdivision). This phase of the subdivision consists of 75 single-family residential lots and 1 I
common lots on 22.16 acres and is located approximately '/2 mile west of N. Eagle Road and
approximately'/4 mile north of E. Ustick Road, in the south 'h of Section 32, T.4N., R.LE. The
gross density of the subdivision is 3.38 d.lu. per acre. The net density is 4.53 d./u. per acre.
Although the proposed subdivision is located in an R-8 zone, a Conditional Use Permit for a
Planned Development (File No. CUP-02-049) has been approved for the subdivision that allows
a portion of the subdivision to be developed in a commercial manner. The CUP also allowed for
reductions to the from & side setbacks, min. lot size, min. street frontage, min. house size, and
allowance for block lengths to exceed 1,000-feet.
Staff recommends that the Council not require the applicant to complete condition No. 2.A.7.
from the Preliminary Plat Findings. The condition requires that the applicant construct a
micropath between Lots 48 and 49, Block 12 as shown on the preliminary plat. As a result of

discussion at the City Council public hearing, this requirement should have been removed as
there is not a connection to Setter Cove Subdivision to the west. Staff has removed this
requirement as a condition of approval.
Staff fords that the proposed final plat substantially complies with the approved Preliminary
Plat. An additional common area lot (Lot 14) to be used for drainage was added to Block 17. No
building lots were lost due to this change.

comments and conditions stated in this report.
