RE: Revised Conditions for Preliminary Plat, Airport Business Park No. 1, Item 16E

Date: October 22, 2007

Based upon the October 17, 2007 letter from the applicant and discussion from City Staff, below are the suggested revised conditions for Item 16A [PP-06-07-07] a Preliminary Plat for Airport Business Park No. 1. (condition(s) deleted are struck thru, condition(s) added are underlined).

1. Revision of the Preliminary Plat to reflect the following conditions:

a. Addition of a note stating that a Transfer of Ownership to the City of Lawrence for the pump station properties will be executed before the first final plat is recorded.

b. Removal of the utility easements encompassing the entirety of the pump station sites, as ownership of the pump station sites will be transferred to the City. Additional utility easements may need to be dedicated for the sanitary sewer mains with the final siting of pump stations.

c. Revision of the pump station sites to appropriate sizes. The sizes of these sites may need to be slightly altered at a later date prior to final plat recordation based on the layout of the pump stations.

d. Addition of a note stating that ownership of the property on which the temporary pump station is located will revert to the adjacent property owners when the pump station is decommissioned.

e. Addition of a note stating that funds will be placed in escrow after the approval of the final plat for the future decommissioning and modification of the temporary pump station, and that no building permits will be issued until the funds are in escrow.

f. As the access waiver requests for direct access to US 24/40 were denied, the first sentence of General Note #9 will need to be revised to read as follows: “Direct driveway access onto US Hwy. 24/40 is prohibited.  Access onto US Hwy. 24/40 from Lot 1, Block Two shall be re-evaluated at the time of site planning.  Direct driveway access onto E 1500 Rd., between US Hwy. 24/40 and Bluegrass Dr. shall be prohibited.  Direct driveway access onto E 1500 Rd. from Lot 1, Block Four shall be permitted until such time as Bluegrass Drive is constructed.  Subsequent to constructing Bluegrass Drive, the access onto E 1500 Rd. from Lot 1, Block Four shall be relocated to Bluegrass Drive.” Hatch marks shall be shown along the entirety of US 24/40 within the project boundaries and along E 1500 Rd., between US Hwy. 24/40 and Bluegrass Drive.

g. Inclusion of a note stating that one temporary access point for the temporary sanitary sewer pump station will be permitted from Block Five, Lot 1 to E 1500 RD. (N. 7^th Street). Access to the pump station shall be relocated to Pine Family Drive through the lot adjacent to the pump station property that is first to develop. If the location of the access point is known, it shall be shown on the plat, with hatch marks included along the remainder of the west side of N. 7^th Street.

h. Block Five, Lots 2 and 4 will be reoriented so they both have frontage on proposed Pine Family Drive.

i. Inclusion of a note stating that access from Block Four, Lot 1 will be offset 125 feet from the centerline of Pine Family Drive. If the locations of the access points are known, they shall be shown on the plat, with hatch marks included along the remainder of the northern lot line.

j. Dedication of any additional required Right-of-Way, per the approval of the City Engineer.

k. i. Revision of Note #15 in the General Notes section to state that the pedestrian ways within pedestrian easements are to be constructed concurrent with the paving of the most adjacent roadway shall be constructed per the subdivision regulations Section 20-811(C)(v).

l. j. Inclusion of information regarding final plat phasing. This phasing shall be concurrent with phasing of the Downstream Sanitary Sewer Study.

m. Revision to include the airspace overlay zones as described in the Development Code Section 20-302.

n. k. Removal of General Note #16e.

o. l. Revision of General Note #16f to remove the following language: “Timing of the installation of such improvements will be per the discretion of the property owner(s) [in the instance of private financing] and per the City [in the instance of public financing]. General Notes #16a through f may need to be further revised, based on the outcome of discussions related to financing of infrastructure improvements at the City Commission meeting.

p. Dedication of the full right-of-way for E 1500 (N. 7^th Street) and US 24/40. Properties that are not part of the associated annexation and subject Preliminary Plat applications will need to be annexed as part of this r-o-w dedication.

m. Prior to a building permit being granted for any building associated with Phase A1, an agreement shall be reached between the City and property owner/applicant as to the provision, timing, and financing of all road, water, sewer, and storm water infrastructure for the project.
