STAFF ANALYSIS A short plat is proposed consisting of two(2)building lots on 2.53-acres of land in the C-G zoning district. Staff has reviewed the proposed short plat for compliance with the criteria set forth in UDC 11-6B-5 and deems the short plat to be in compliance with said requirements. Access is proposed via S. Rackham Way, an existing local street at the west boundary of the site and via the drive aisle at the east boundary of the site.A 20-foot wide roadway easement(Inst. #2019- 112574) is depicted along the northern boundary of the site for Flatiron Ln., an existing private street. Pedestrian and vehicular access easements are depicted on the plat along the north,east and south boundaries of the site.A 25-foot wide cross-access easement is depicted along the shared lot line between Lots I and 2 for shared access between the two lots; Staff recommends this drive-aisle is constructed in its entirety with the first phase of development. Further, Staff recommends the site design is reconfigured so that vehicles aren't backing out from parking spaces into the main drive- aisle. ACHD is requiring pavement widening for S. Rackham Way and construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk—if a detached sidewalk is proposed, additional right-of-way(ROW)may be required to accommodate a permanent ROW easement. Curb and gutter exist along the northern boundary of the site along Flat Iron Ln.; a detached sidewalk is proposed. Curb, gutter and an attached sidewalk is proposed along the southern boundary of the site abutting the proposed drive aisle; and curb and gutter is proposed along the eastern boundary of the site adjacent to the existing drive aisle. A I0-foot wide street buffer is required along S. Rackham Way, a local street; an easement for such, approved with Oxygen Subdivision No. 3, is depicted on the plat(Inst. #2018-106281). A 10-foot wide irrigation easement(Inst. #2018-106281), a 10-foot wide sewer easement(Inst. #2018-106281) and a 5-foot wide Idaho Transportation Dept. ditch easement(Inst. #8913057) also lie along Rackham Page 2 within the street buffer easement. Landscaping is required to be installed within the buffer in accord with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-7C.A minimum of one(1)tree per 35 linear feet is required to be installed within the street buffer along with shrubs,lawn and other vegetative groundcover; a minimum of seven (7)trees are required,only four(4) are proposed—three(3) additional trees should be included in the street buffer(see allowed landscaping in clear vision triangles in UDC 11-3A-3B).If trees are not allowed within the existing easements, a minimum 5-foot wide area for planting trees and shrubs shall be provided outside of the easement area as set forth in UDC 11-3B-7C.1b. Internal parking lot landscaping is not required with this application and will be reviewed for compliance with the standards listed in UDC 11-3B-8C with lot development. Future development of the proposed lots should comply with the dimensional standards listed in UDC Table 11-2B-3 for the C-G zoning district. A 20-foot wide easement(Inst. #2019-112574)exists for Flatiron Ln., a private street, along the northern boundary of the site as depicted on the plat.A 50-foot wide permanent access easement (Inst. #2018-041517,Inst. #2021-116525) crosses the southwest corner of the site as depicted on the plat,recorded with Oxygen Subdivision No. 3. This easement should be amended in accord with the proposed plat. Underground stormwater storage is proposed within the parking lots on each lot. VI. DECISION Staff: Staff recommends approval of the proposed short plat with the conditions noted in Section VII of this report and in accord with the findings in Section VIII. Page 3 VII. EXHIBITS A.
