IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
The final plat approval for Caven Ridge Estates West Subdivision No. 1 included a condition of
approval (site specific #4c) for the plat to be revised to relocate the common lot with the pathway
depicted between Lots 3 and 5, Block 1 to align with the pathway depicted on the south side of E.
Sicily Dr. within Lot 6, Block 3 (either between Lots 7 and 8 or Lots 8 and 9, Block 1; and a
condition of approval (site specific #5d) for the landscape plan to be revised to relocate the common
lot with the pathway depicted between Lots 3 and 5, Block 1 to align with the pathway depicted on
the south side of E. Sicily Dr. within Lot 6, Block 3 (either between Lots 7 and 8 or Lots 8 and 9,
Block 1). See plat and landscape plan below in Section VI.A.
The applicant proposes to modify this entitlement to shift the pathway on the north side of E. Sicily
Dr. approximately 200’ to the east between Lots 3 and 5, Block 1 to align with the sidewalk on S.
Natural Way. The pathway has already been constructed in this location along with the infrastructure
and streets for the subdivision. Relocation of the pathway to the west would result in the shifting of 4
residential lots and relocation of previously constructed water and sewer services for those lots. Eight
(8) cuts would also need to be made in the newly constructed street and sidewalks to relocate the
services. Due to weather conditions, it’s unlikely the cut areas could be repaved until Spring.
The purpose of the condition was so that the micro-path connections on the north and south sides of
Sicily Dr. would align for a more direct and clear connection to the multi-use pathway. As proposed,
the pathway on the north side of Sicily jogs approximately 200’ to the east. Although not ideal, it’s
Staff’s opinion the location of the pathway as constructed meets the intent of the conditions of
approval in providing a micro-path connection to the multi-use pathway along the Ridenbaugh Canal.
Therefore, Staff is in support of the Applicant’s request.
In the future, if improvements are constructed prior to obtaining the City Engineer’s signature
on the final plat, the Applicant should take extra care in reviewing the conditions of approval
prior to construction to ensure improvements are constructed as required. As an extra
precaution, revised plans can be submitted for review and approval prior to submittal of the
final plat for signature to ensure compliance with previous conditions of approval.
V. DECISION
A. Staff:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat modification as requested by the Applicant.
