Zoning:
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2021-105 rezoning the northern 17.92 acres abutting 53rd Street to C-2 Corridor Commercial District and the southern 20 acres to R-MF Multi-Family Residential District. The Ordinance 2021-105 is attached as background material.
Technical Review:
Streets: The plat proposes adding 1,241 linear feet of streets. Lakeview Parkway will extend south. A new street to the east, Ravenwood Lane, will also extend south. East 52nd Street will connect Lakeview Parkway to the proposed Ravenwood Lane. Sidewalks are required along all City right-of-way. There is a multi-use trail that will extend to the west along East 53rd Street. The be consistent with the additional sections of the trail. The multi-use trail will be dedicated as public right-of-way. An intersection will be created at the intersection of Ravenwood Lane and 53rd Street with a private drive to the north. No signal is recommended at this time; however a left turn lane for westbound 53rd Street will be required at the proposed Ravenwood Lane.
Storm Water: Storm water infrastructure associated with this development will connect into the City of Bettendorf storm sewer on the east and drain into Stafford Creek on the west. This subdivision is over 5 acres with over 10,000 square feet of hard surface so it will require detention and water quality. Storm detention is planned in Lots A and B. Access must be provided for maintenance of detention areas and any drainage ways must be maintained to provide for the proper flow of water.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer service is located to the south in the proposed Birchwood Grove subdivision. Sanitary sewer will be extended along the proposed public streets.
Other Utilities: This is an urban area and normal utility services are available.
Parks/Open Space: The proposed plat does not impact any existing or planned parks or public open space.
Public Input: No Public Hearing is required for a final plat.
