It is also suggested that specific License. to Const.ruct of the form attached be authorized by amendment of the Commission's by laws and that no work be allowed to begin on any improvements until such license shall have been issued. RIVER OAKS S/D - UNIT ONE - Application of Dr. Barnes for Preliminary Plat Approval of 38 Lots and license to construct improvements. The property i@ located on the west side of Boothe Road between Twin Beech and Nichols. and is -zoned R-2 for Single Family Residential Use. The general plan of development indicates a total of §@m@ 171 lots to be developed in stages. The general plan is accepted to provide continuity of review but is not to be considered a preliminary master plat. Dr. Barnes owns all land abutting Unit One and there are no notices to other owners required. Except for one retention pond located adjacent to Boothe Road, all stormwater from this unit will outflow onto Barnes' property. Double frontage lots between Boothe Road and Oakwood should be provided with a ten -foot permanent planting easement to screen rear yards from Boothe Road. There should be required a tight evergreen hedge six feet in height for that purpose. Lot numbers should begin with one and be numbered in series, with each units numbers independent of other units Oakwood should be designated Oakwood Street since it runs north and south. Driftwood should be designated Driftwood Street since it begins in a north south direction and continues on a diagonal to the quadrant. Other suffices such as "drive", "court", "circle", "way", "place", "boulevard" and the like are acceptable without regard to direction of street since such are not indicated in the regulations to imply a sense of direction. ZOCOMM93 It is noted that the radius of curvature of 100 feet shown at two locations is at variance with the regulations, which would require a 300 foot radius with a right-of-way width of 60 feet. However, since the required radius of curvature is a function of design speed rather than width of street, that requirement should be waived. Further, as regulations are revised in the future, such design standards probably should be referenced to requirements of the AASHTO design manual. Section 20-5 of the Fairhope Code of Ordinances fixes the speed limit in residential districts generally at a maximum of 25 miles per hour. Preliminary Plat approval and License to Construct is recommended -subject to the following conditions: 1. Designation of planting easement and screening for double frontages on Boothe Road 2. Correction of lot numbers as set out above 3. Proper street suffices as set out above 4. Pre -construction conference among developer, his engineer, city personnel and contractor 5. Locations of gate valves and fire hydrants shall be subject to approval of fire department and water department at preconstruction conference. , 6. Sanitary sewer manholes shall be located at intervals not to exceed 400 feet. 7. Curb radii at block corners shall be minimum of 40 feet to front of curb and the radius point shall be common to that of the block corner. 8. Stormwater inlet and catch basin designs shall conform to city's standards. 9. Remove set back lines from plat; note on face of plat that "Building Setbacks shall conform to requirements of Zoning ordinance in effect at time of aPPI i cat.i on for Building Permit". 10. Furnish City two copies of corrected plat and plans with required changes thereon. CAMBRIDGE COURT - Application of Barrie -Chapman Development, Inc. for Preliminary Plat approval and License to Construct Improvements for 17 Lots on the west side of Bon Secour north of Forster Avenue: This plat is recommended for Preliminary Approval and ZOCOMM93 License to Construct subject to the following conditions: 1. Completion of Owners Certificate and Acknowledgement on face of Plat 2. Notation on face of plat to effect that: "Building Setbacks shall be as required by Zoning ordinance requirements in effect at time of issuance of Building Permit" 3. Shift SS Manhole No. 5 and show lateral connections for Lots 16 & 17 4. Provide 10-foot planting easement with 6-foot screen along rear of Lots 7 and 8 to separate townhouse area 5. Evidence of application for NPDES Permit from ADEM 6. Adequate measures to control runoff and erosion of site during construction 7. Engineer's or Surveyor's seal on Contour Map 8. Pre -construction conference among developer, his engineer, city personnel and contractor The requirement of Section 708.8 that reverse curves be separated by a tangent of at least 100 feet may be waived in this case because of the maximum speed limit of 25 miles per hour imposed on residential streets. GATEWOOD 5/D - Application of FSTC & Lessees for Preliminary and Final Plat Approval of four lots on the east side of Bishop Road between Morphy and Fairhope. An additional 10 foot easement is provided along the frontage for use as right-of-way and utilities installation. Plat appears to be in order and Final Approval is recommended without conditions.
