IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the preliminary plat as
required by UDC 11-6B-3C.2. There is one (1) additional building lot and there are seven (7) more
common lots shown on the proposed final plat than were depicted on the preliminary plat. Although
the number of building lots has increased, the amount of common open space was shifted and is
consistent with the overall development. Additionally, there have been fewer building lots proposed
in previous phases of the Oaks North development. As such, staff finds the proposed plat is in
substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plat per the standards listed in UDC 11-6B-
3C.2.
Open space planned for this phase consists of ten (10) common lots which includes the City’s ten-foot
multi-use pathway along the Creason Lateral, micropathways connecting to other phases of the Oaks
North development. This phase contains 1.47 acres, or 8.3%, qualified open space and complies with
the overall open space and site amenities approved with the Oaks North development.
A. Dimensional Standards (UDC 11-2):
The minimum lot size required per dwelling unit is 8,000 square feet in the R-4 zoning district;
the minimum proposed property size for this phase is 9,148 square feet, with an average lot size
of 11,964 square feet, in compliance with the dimensional standards for the R-4 zoning district.
B. Access (UDC 11-3A-3, 11-3H-4):
Access points are proposed via stub street connections to future phases of the Oaks North via W.
Doublerock Dr., N. Mallorca Way, N. Fawnridge Way, and N. Aldrich Way.
C. Pathways (UDC 11-3A-8):
Landscaping is required along pathways in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-12C.
A minimum five-foot wide landscape strip is required along each side of the pathway consisting
of a mix of trees, shrubs, lawn and/or other vegetative groundcover. A minimum of one (1) tree is
required per 100 linear feet of pathway. The 10-foot multi-use pathway located within Lot 10,
Block 10; Lot 17, Block 6; Lot 10, Block 13; and Lot 2, Block 15 in the proposed landscape plan
does not include one (1) tree per 100 linear feet and shall be revised to comply with these
standards.
D. Sidewalks and Parkways (UDC 11-3A-17):
Five-foot detached sidewalks with 8-foot wide parkways are proposed along both sides of all
local streets and adjacent to common lots, in accord with UDC standards. Parkways are required
to be landscaped per the standards listed in UDC 11-3A-17 and UDC 11-3G-3B.5, in accord with
the submitted landscape plan.

E. Landscaping (UDC 11-3B):
Common open space areas are required to be landscaped with lawn (either seed or sod) and a
minimum of one (1) deciduous shade tree per 8,000 square feet as set forth in UDC 11-3G-3E.
Lot 3, Block 13 as submitted with the landscape plan does not meet UDC requirements and shall
be modified accordingly.
F. Fencing (UDC 11-3A-6, 11-3A-7):
Proposed fencing within the subdivision includes six-foot vinyl adjacent to property lines in
accord with UDC 11-3A-7b. Four-foot vinyl privacy fencing is proposed adjacent to common
open space and is in accord with UDC 11-3A-7b. Details have been submitted with the landscape
plan and are included in Exhibit VI.C.
