The purpose of the the Russell Frye-Armstrong Industrial Park First Addition preliminary plat is for a 3-lot subdivision to facilitate future development. Planning Staff has reviewed this plat for conformance to the subdivision code. The plat meets (or shall meet as conditioned) code requirements.

At its August 17, 2021 regularly scheduled meeting, the Plan & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of Case P21-04 subject to the following findings and conditions (7-0).

Findings:

1. The preliminary plat conforms to the comprehensive plan Davenport+2035; and
2. The preliminary plat will achieve consistency with subdivision requirements with the proposed conditions.

Conditions:

1. An additional 20 feet of Utility Easement shall be added to the existing 10 foot easement along the south lot line.
2. All sewer easements shall be either 15 feet wide or twice the depth of the sewer, whichever is greater.
3. The legal description, utility note, and preparer's contact info shall be removed.
4. A total of 70 feet of right-of-way shall be required along West 83rd Street.
5. Standard Plat Notes shall be added.
6. Corporate limits shall be shown on the plat.
7. Lot three shall not have any direct access to Northwest Boulevard.
8. Additional storm and sanitary sewer easements shall be required based on preliminary engineering of conceptual plans including service drainage of the property to the west. 
9. Provide 30 feet of right-of-way radii at the intersection of Northwest Boulevard & Zenith Avenue.
10. Lots A, B, and C shall be labeled as outlots and shall be shown with stormwater detention easements.

Comprehensive Plan: 

Within Urban Service Area (USB35): Yes

Future Land Use Designation: Industry (I)

Relevant Goals to be considered in this Case: Strengthen the Existing Built Environment.  

Zoning: I-1 Light Industrial

Technical Review: 

 Streets: 1,340 linear feet of new streets are proposed with this request. All access points onto Northwest Blvd will require IA DOT approval and Lot 3 shall not have direct access to Northwest Blvd due to the proximity to the interstate. Any access onto W. 90th Street will require review from Scott County. The final plat for the first phase of development will require an access easement at the end of Zenith Avenue to accommodate turnaround of vehicles. A future final plat will require additional right-of-way  along 83rd Street to meet ROW width requirements. Sidewalks will be required along the future Zenith Avenue. Northwest Blvd. currently has a rural cross section, therefore sidewalks will not be required at this time.

 Storm Water: The plat will need to conform to any requirements of the City of Davenport Natural Resources Division; see the condition in the recommendation.

 Sanitary Sewer:  Sanitary sewer will be extended to this subdivision.

 Other Utilities: Normal utility services are available in this developed area.

 Parks/Open Space: No park shall be required with this infill development.
