ISSUE
Arcon Development has submitted an application for approval of a Final Plat for approximately 8.8
acres located west of Akron Avenue (County Road 73) and north of Connemara Trail. The
th
development, named Prestwick Place 12, creates 31 new single family lots. Development as single
nd
family is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Prestwick Place 2 Preliminary Plat.
SUMMARY
In July of 2011, D.R. Horton (builder) and Arcon Development (land owner) received approval of
nd
Prestwick Place 2 Addition Preliminary Plat for 127 lots with a minimum width of 65 feet. In 2011,
nd
D.R. Horton developed the Prestwick Place 2 Addition Final Plat to construct 29 single family
homes on approximately 12 acres located directly west of Akron Avenue (County Road 73) and north
of Connemara Trail. In 2012, D.R. Horton requested the second and third phases of their
thth
development, named Prestwick Place 4 and 6, to construct an additional 34 lots on approximately
nd
11 acres located north of Prestwick Place 2. In 2014 Arcon Development requested 33 lots (about
half of the remaining preliminary plat approval) on approximately 11 acres north and west of
ndthth
Prestwick Place 2 Addition and south of Prestwick Place 4 and 6 Additions.
nd
Arcon Development is now pursing development of the remaining lots from the Prestwick Place 2
th
Preliminary Plat. The final development, named Prestwick Place 12, will create 31 single family lots
with a minimum lot width of 65 feet. The subdivision is located north of Adair Avenue.
Legal Authority
Final plat approval is a quasi-judicial action, meaning that if the application meets the City Code,
planned unit development (PUD) and preliminary plat regulations, then the final plat must be
approved. Staff supports approval of this final plat and finds that it is substantially in conformance
with the approved preliminary plat. The detailed analysis of this finding is provided below.
North - Agriculture and the Union Pacific rail line
West - Agriculture and the Bloomfield single family housing
South - DR Horton and Lennar single family homes, future commercial, and City Park
East - Ryland single family homes and future apartments and townhomes
Arcon Development is proposing a 31 lot subdivision on approximately 8.81 acres in one area. The
th
lots are proposed directly north of Prestwick Place 4. Upon approval of the final plat, construction of
nd
all the lots within the Prestwick Place 2 Preliminary Plat will have been developed. The plat provides
an extension of Abercorn Avenue and Abbeyfield Avenue. One hundred and forty-first Street West
will also run parallel with Adair Avenue to form a connection with Abbeyfield Avenue to Abercorn
Avenue.

The proposed Prestwick Place 12 Final Plat has 31 lots with a minimum width of 65 feet and side
yards setbacks totaling 15 feet. These dimensions would result in building pads of at least 50 feet in
width. The 50 foot building pads will allow construction of homes with three car garages. Due to the
increased density of the neighborhood and to be compatible with the other single family homes
recently approved in the City, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) requires additional front
elevation design standards beyond that required in the Zoning Ordinance.

The final plat depicts the construction of three streets, labeled Abercorn Avenue, Abbeyfield Avenue
st
and 141 Street West. Abercorn Avenue runs roughly from the northwest to the southeast and the
st
new extension will continue northwest to connect with 141 Street West. Abbeyfield Avenue will be
st
extended approximately 150 feet north. 141 Street West will be extended west and connect Abercorn
st
Avenue with Abbeyfield Avenue. 141 Street West current exists between Abbeyfield Avenue and
Akron Avenue and serves as the primary access to this neighborhood.
The typical street design for this subdivision is a 32 foot wide street with a sidewalk installed on one
side of the street. The Final Plat has been found to meet or slightly exceed minimum standards. This
he street.
There are no wetlands located on this site.
There is one area of significant tree growth that will be removed from the site in order to complete
development. There are no heritage trees as defined by City Code. Tree removal for this area was
addressed and fulfilled in the original preliminary plat.Compliance with tree replacement standards
were fulfilled through planting on Connemara Trail (in the 2nd, 4th, and 8th Addition) and Akron
Avenue (2nd and 4th Addition) frontages with 4 foot berms, deciduous trees spaced evenly along the
property line with the roadway, and a minimum of three evergreens on each individual lot abutting
Akron or Connemara.
Landscaping for the subdivision includes trees on individual lots. Trees installed on the individual lots
will include one tree for each interior lot and two trees for each corner lot. The trees will be installed
after the lots are developed and final grade has been established. Trees will be required to be installed
in locations that do not interfere with curb stops or individual sewer or water connections.
th
There is no stormwater pond in the Prestwick Place 12 Addition. Stormwater will be managed
through storm sewers leading to a stormwater pond and infiltration basin located west of Abbeyfield
Court, east of Adelaide Avenue, and north of Connemara Trail. The pond and infiltration basin are
adequately sized for the subdivision.
3
The neighborhood park for this development is Prestwick Park, which is located less than a half mile
away on the south side of Connemara Trail between Adelaide Avenue and Abbeyfield Avenue. No
parkland is being dedicated within this final plat. The developer will be required to pay $105,400 (31
units times $3,400 per unit) fee-in-lieu of park dedication.
The City Engineer has prepared a memorandum of comments regarding the plat and they are an
attachment to this executive summary. Most of the topics within the memo have been discussed in
the previous sections of this executive summary, but the memo provides greater detail for the
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Final Plat with the
th
specific conditions provided above. Staff finds that the Prestwick Place 12 Final Plat is generally
consistent with the Preliminary Plat approval.
