BACKGROUND
Finken Water Inc. has submitted a preliminary and final plat application to divide Lot 1
Block 1 of Shoppes of Prairie Run into two lots and rename the plat Shoppes of Prairie
Run 2nd Addition. The subdivision will divide the current Lot 1 Block into Lot 1 which will
be 61,490 square feet (1.41 acres) and Lot 2 which will be 60,765 square feet (1.39
acres). The current Lot 2 from the initial plat will be renamed to Lot 3 Block 1 of
Shoppes of Prairie Run 2nd Addition. The current plat was approved in October 2004
along with a commercial PUD to allow two principal buildings on Lot 1 Block 1. The new
application will have all three buildings on separate lots.

As illustrated by the tables, all lot standards have been met by the layouts of the
buildings. The building on Lot 2 has already been construct and has met the
requirements of the district.
Access and Circulation. The access to the site and circulation within the site will not
change due to the lot split; therefore, no changes to the lot configuration will be needed.
However, ingress and egress easements shall be shared between Lot 1 and Lot 2, and
shall be shown on the preliminary plat.
Parking Requirements. The revised plans for the plat show that the site contains 152
stalls which are compliant with the number of stalls approved on plans dated October
04, 2004.

Landscapina. The landscaping of the site shall be compliant with the landscape plan
approved on plans dated October 04, 2004. All dead or unhealthy landscaping existing
on site of Lot 2 shall be replaced at the cost of the developer.
Gradina and Drainaae. The applicant has submitted a grading and erosion control plan
for the site which is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
Final Plat
Easements. The lots split will still allow for circulation of cars between Lot 1 and Lot 2;
therefore, and ingress and egress easement shall be dedicated between Lot 1 and Lot 2
like it has been done between Lot 2 and Lot 3.
Park Dedication. Park dedication should have been satisfied with the final plat of
Shoppes of Prairie Run.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the review of the submitted plans and past documents, our office
recommends approval of the Preliminary and Final Plats for Shoppes of Prairie Run 2nd
Addition with the following conditions:
1. Ingress and egress easements shall be established across Lots 1 and Lots 2
within the subdivision and so noted on the Preliminary and Final Plats.
2. All existing dead or unhealthy landscaping shall be replaced by the developer.
3. The grading and erosion control plan and the utility plan are subject to the review
and approval of the City Engineer.
4. Comments of other City Staff.
