Mr. Schaefer,
I wanted to check in and get a status update for the Shepherd Ridge Preliminary Plat. Based on
our meeting a couple weeks ago, you had a number of open items that needed to be addressed.
If these deficiencies still have not been resolved, I would recommend postponement of the Plat. If
you do not expect these issues to be resolved prior to mid-June, I would recommend withdrawing
the application and resubmitting when it is ready.
Based on the current status of your project, would you like to Postpone or Withdraw your
Shepherd Ridge Preliminary Plat?
Please let me know as soon as possible so we can publish the correct information.

RE: Dawson’s Mill Time Extension Request
Please see attached letter requesting a time extension on Dawson’s Mill Plats (Phases) I, II, III, &
IV. Preliminary plat approval is tentative for one year. Plat I (which includes Phases I, II, & III) was first approved at the July 20, 2017 meeting, and Phase
IV was approved in August 2019. See timeline below: July 20, 2017 – Plat I (Phases I, II, & III) approved July 19, 2018 – Plat I time extension approved
June 20, 2019 – Plat I time extension approved August 15, 2019- Plat I (Phase 4) was approved
July 16, 2020- Plat I (Phases I, II, III, & IV) time extension approved October 2, 2020 – Plat No. 1 was recorded
In an effort to keep preliminary plats from lingering without development action, the commission offered a solution by placing a limit on renewal of time extension for preliminary plats. The commission voted allow up to three (3) time extension approvals for preliminary plats, upon the fourth request the preliminary plat would be referred to special committee for review.

Preliminary Plat
McGriff Street & Washington Ferry Road, Preliminary Plat, Page 1
TO: City of Prattville Planning Commission
FROM: Tommie Williams, Planner
DATE: May 20, 2021
SUBJECT: Preliminary plat approval for McGriff Street & Washington Ferry Road
The information provided in this staff report has been included for the purpose of reviewing the
proposed preliminary plat. There may be additional requirements placed on the property through
the Site Plan Review process to address development regulations & access.
A. BACKGROUND:
Applicant/ Representative: Larry E. Speaks & Associates, Inc.
Owner: Goodwyn Building Company, Inc.

Preliminary Plat
McGriff Street & Washington Ferry Road, Preliminary Plat, Page 2
C. ANALYSIS:
Street Connectivity: No new access point and street right-of-ways are being
proposed within the preliminary plat. The proposed lots for
this subdivision will have access from existing city streets.
Water/Sewer: The proposed site is serviced by existing water mains. An
existing sanitary sewer line can be accessed from proposed
lots facing Washington Ferry Road. However, the existing
sanitary sewer line dead ends on McGriff Street an
estimated 197’ west off the McGriff Street & Rice Street
intersections. The proposed preliminary plat shows the
dead-end sanitary manhole within the middle of McGriff
Street at Lot (1); therefore, a proposal has been made to
serve Lot (10) by a single site sanitary septic system. Cited
below are the City of Prattville standards for sewer and
water based off of adjacent availability. As noted in the
Ordinance standards, the availability of sewer for Lot (10)
is within 1,200’ of an existing sanitary sewer line.
However, based off of depth and elevation change pumping
would be required.

Subdivisions shall be designed to accommodate public water and sewer if it is available. Water
and/or sewer will be considered available if lines of the proper size and flow, with pumping not
required, are located within twelve hundred (1,200) feet of the property. Installation of all lines
shall be the responsibility of the developer. If water and/or sewer is not available, private water
supply and sewage disposal may be used subject to the approval of the appropriate county health
department, and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
R-2 Single-Family Residential District Performance Standards:
Development requirements for uses in R-2 zoning include the following:
MINIMUM YARD SIZE: Front Yard: 35 feet; Rear Yard: 40 feet; Side Yard: 10 feet.
MINIMUM LOT SIZE: Area in Square Feet: 10,500; Width at building line: 75 feet.
MAXIMUM HEIGHT: 35 feet; 2½ stories.
MAXIMUM BUILDING AREA PERCENT: 25%
OFF STREET PARKING CAR SPACES: One.
Staff Comments/Comprehensive Plan:
This preliminary plat consists of a vacant 4.80-acre parcel currently zoned R-2, Single-Family
Residential. The proposal is to subdivide the tract into (10) ten single-family residential lots
conforming to all standards of the R-2 zoning district as described above for yard and lot size. (7)
Seven proposed lots will face McGriff Street ranging from 0.46 to 0.49 acres with a building line
of 75’ wide and depths in excess of 250’. Lot (10) ten will be the largest lot within the proposed
plat at 0.92 acres. In addition, (3) three lots will face Washington Ferry Road, including one corner
lot that will be a minimum of 75’ at the building line and a depth of 129’. These lots will have
sizes ranging from 0.26 to 0.33 acres. All lots will have (1) one private drive access from existing
streets. Moreover, this proposal is an example of infill development within an established
residential district, and is the type of development that is often encouraged in sustainable planning
practice. Likewise, infill development should not require a large-scale upgrade in infrastructure.
In the case of this preliminary plat proposal, the lots reflect the scale and use similar to neighboring
properties, and take access off an existing city street. The public infrastructure upgrade is minimal,
as no additional public streets, sewer and water lines will need to be added. As a public sidewalk
does not exist at this location, and no proposal has been made for a sidewalk within the preliminary
plat, staff has required that a 5’ wide sidewalk be added in front of all lots that is reflective of the
City of Prattville subdivision regulations. From a policy standpoint, a sidewalk is also reflective
of the City of Prattville Comprehensive Plan of considering all transportation users in encouraging
complete streets.
