Environmental Impacts
Septic Tanks will be installed on individual parcels. The proposed subdivision
must comply with minimum storm water drainage requirements for a residential
subdivision. All storm water drainage easements must be installed and
maintained by the property owner. The city will not be held liable for any
storm water drainage problems.
City Services
Public water will be installed to service the proposed development.
Traffic Impact
In an effort to reduce the minimal impact of traffic concerns, the following
conditions are recommended by Fire and Emergency Prevention, Engineering and
Planning: 1) improve the cul-de-sac at the end of the existing access easement
to a minimum radius of 50 feet, with a pavement radius of 40 feet; 2) restore
the large area of excess soil erosion and run off on the existing access
easement by accommodating proper drainage; 3) Clear the shoulders of the
existing 60-foot wide access easement by five (5) feet on each side from the
edge of the pavement to ensure necessary access for large public service
vehicles. The pavement radius of the cul-de-sac shall be 40 feet; 4) restrict
future subdivision development by adjacent property owners and limit the use of
the access easement to Greenleaves Estates subdivision and existing lots of
record. Additional subdivision developments shall not utilize the access
easement and variance to accommodate future lots; and 5) The existing 60-foot
access easement running from Moore Road and the proposed cul-de-sac must be
named and maintained as a private street.
