SUBJECT: FP -11-008 — Spurwing Grove No. 2 Final Plat
I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
E IDIAN,
IDAHO
The applicant, SWG Brighton, LLC, has applied for final plat approval for ten (10) residential lots and
one (1) common lot on approximately 3.03 acres of land. This is the second final plat proposed for the
Spurwing Greens Subdivision. The proposed subdivision is zoned R-8 (Medium -density Residential
District). The gross density proposed with this phase is 3.03 dwelling units to the acre with an average lot
size of 10,100 square feet.
The site is located near the northwest corner of N. Jayker Way and W. Magic Spruce Drive in the
northeast'/ of southeast % of Section 22, Township 4 North, Range 1 West..
The City Council approved the Spurwing Greens preliminary plat (PP -10-001) on October 12, 2010. The
approved preliminary plat consists of 214 buildable lots and 16 common lots on 86.66 acres. The first
phase approved by Council on August 9, 2011 was phase platted with 3 residential lots and one common
lot on 0.80 acres. The first phase received City Engineer's signature on August 30, 2011.
The applicant is proposing to construct a planter island in the center of the proposed cul-de-sac. ACHD
would prefer that the planter island remain part of the right-of-way, not as a common lot and would be
approved through a license agreement with the District. The proposed planter island was not a
requirement of the preliminary plat, thus staff is supportive of the planter island remaining part of the
right-of-way for the home owners association to maintain.
Per UDC 11 -6B -3C, a final plat should be reviewed for substantial compliance with the approved
preliminary plat. The following changes are allowed by UDC to grant approval of a final plat in order to
determine substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat:
• The number of buildable lots is the same or fewer;
• The amount of common open space has increased;
• The amount of open space is relocated with no reduction in the total amount;
• The number of open space lots has increased and
• The transportation authority has required minor changes.
Staff finds the proposed final plat to be in substantial conformance per UDC 11 -6B -3C and the approved
preliminary plat attached as Exhibit B. If approved, the applicant has until August 30, 2013 to obtain the
City Engineer's signature on the final plat or apply for time extension in accord with UDC 11-6B-7.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Spurwing Grove Subdivision No. 2 final plat subject to the conditions
