Planning Commission
Findings of Fact
& Recommendation
Applicant's Name: Parkside 4th. Kenco
Request: Kenco has submitted a preliminary plat for the subdivision of 17 single family lots.
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family, and is located immediately north of
Parkside 3rd Addition. The plat provides critical connection between Parks ide 3rd
and Westwind. While the street and lot configurations for the plat are limited to the
arrangement shown on the plat, two concept plans were previously submitted to the
Planning Commission in order for them to make a determination on the inclusion or
exclusion of a cul-de-sac (eyelid) in the northeast corner of the plat. The Planning
Commission and City Staff concurred that "eyelids" are a maintenance headache
and that it should be eliminated. The same number of lots are possible either way,
except that three variances are needed for lot width on Lots 6,7 and 8 of Block 1 .
Planning Commission Meeting Date: 8 October 1996
Findings of Fact: Based on review of the application and evidence received, the Planning
Commission now makes the following findings of fact and recommendation:

(see attached)
2) The Planning Report dated 1 October 1996, prepared by NAC, Inc. is incorporated herein.
Recommendation: Based on the foregoing considerations and applicable ordinances, the
applicant's request has been approved based on the most current plans and information received
to date, subject to the following conditions:
1. Three lot width variances are approved for Lots 6,7 and 8 of Block 1. Structure locations
on these lots must be placed at or behind the required front setback line and may be
placed at a point where the lots are less than ninety (90) feet wide, provided that minimum
side yard setbacks can be met.
2. The street within the plat is named Kalenda Drive rather than Kalland Drive or Kalland
Avenue to avoid confusion with the existing Kalland Drive.
3. A parking lot containing a minimum of six (6) stalls is provided by the developer on land
dedicated to the City as parkland. A portion of the land is located within Parks ide 4th and
should be designated as parkland on revised plans. The lot should contain one
handicapped stall and a means for cars to turn around before re-entering the street right-
of-way.

feet along its entirety. The trail shall be separated from the curb a minimum of three (3)
feet.

property to the east in a single row. The plantings shall be of the same species, size and
spacing that was required for Parks ide 3rd and shall be installed during the 1997 growing
