Location: Southeast corner of the Lower Kingston Road/Birdsong Road intersection Development Status and History Submission Status: Initial subdivision submission for 1.34 parcel. Previous Approvals: No previous subdivision requests for the tract. Conditions of Previous Approvals: No previous Planning Commission or development conditions. Property Configuration Acreage: 1.34 acres Proposed Number of Lots and Configuration: Property is presently a vegetated, vacant lot. The applicant proposes division of the property into five (5) residential lots. The lots range in size from a minimum of 9,851 square feet to a maximum of 13,644 square feet. The width of the lots vary from 67 feet to 164 feet. The lots are oriented to Lower Kingston Road, Birdsong Street, and Seamon Street. No new public streets are proposed with the subdivision sketch. Proposed Uses: Five single-family residential lots zoned R-3. Page 2 of 4 Consistency with Adopted Future Land Use Plan The Future Land Plan/Map in Section 2.2 of the Prattville Comprehensive Plan adopted by the Planning Commission on January 21, 2010 shows the subject property as Low Density Residential. Section 2.2 states that, “Low Density Residential refers to single family homes on single lots, usually at least one- sixth of an acre or larger. These lots have front, side and rear setbacks, and will only in very rare cases abut a land use other than single-family or greenspace. Target densities would not exceed eight units per acre.” The presented site plan proposes a density of 3.7 units per acre. The layout and the existing R-3 zoning are consistent with the adopted land use plan. Current Zoning: R-3, Single-Family Residential Required Zoning: The existing R-3 classification will support the five lots proposed Surrounding Developments and Uses: North and East: Single-family residential structures and uses of various sizes along Birdsong Street and Seamon Street West and South: Single-family residential structures and uses along Lower Kingston Road Street Extensions or New Streets: The lots are configured along Lower Kingston Road, Birdsong Street, and Seamon Street. Lower Kingston Road is a publicly maintained street within a sixty foot right-of-way. Birdsong Street and Seamon Street are not publically maintained and exist as private driveways. Prattville Subdivision Regulations, Article V. Section F(5) states that, “ Connection to public street required: Each new lot shall front upon a street whose right-of-way is not less than fifty (50) feet in width and which is connected with the public street system.” Water and Sewer: Adequate potable water service is available to the site from the Prattville Water Works Board. Page 3 of 4 A sanitary sewer mains is available for extension from Lower Kingston Road. Unique Features: Three of the five lots front private access driveways rather than a public street. PLANNING STAFF EVALUATION Reviewed by: Joel T. Duke, AICP City Planner Site Visits Conducted: Various times – April and May 2016 Recommendation: Recommend approval to move forward with platting Lots 1 and 2, which front a public street. Require modified plan for constructing a public street and extending utilities to serve proposed Lots 3 – 5 Staff Comments:  The proposed sketch plan divides an undeveloped residential parcel into five lots for development by the Autauga County Habitat for Humanity. The parcel has frontage on Lower Kingston Road, Birdsong Street, and Seamon Street. Only Lower Kingston Road is a public street. Birdsong Street and Seamon Street are un-platted, undedicated private driveways with widths varying between 15 feet and 20 feet. Lots 1 and 2 have frontage on Lower Kingston Road. Lot 2 is corner lot with additional frontage on Birdsong Street. Lots 3 – 5 have frontage on Birdsong and Seamon. Article V, Section F (5) of the Prattville Subdivision regulations require newly platted lots to have frontage on public streets with a minimum width of 50 feet. A preliminary plat approved under the proposed configuration would be a violation of the adopted regulations. In addition, it is unclear what legal rights the applicant has to create additional lots on private easements/driveways partially located on property they do not control. The Planning Department has discussed the street frontage requirements with the applicant with recommendations that land be acquired along Birdsong Street, and possibly a portion of Seamon Street, to permit development of regulation public street.  The proposed sketch plan lacks information on how public water and sewer will be extended to service the planned lots. A new street would also provide a pathway to extend sewer and water mains. Page 4 of 4  By dividing the single 1.34 parcel into five lots, the applicant is required to provide adequately facilities for stormwater management. No plans for stormwater are included with the sketch plan. The proposed subdivision is located in a relatively flat area with little defined or formal drainage pathways. The city periodically received complaints concerning drainage from residences south this site and along Lower Kingston Road.  Given their adequate frontage on a public street and access to public water and sewer, Lots 1 and 2 may be approved to move forward with preliminary and final consideration. Consideration of the remainder of the property should be delayed until a plan for providing street access can be formulated by the applicant. ATTACHMENTS A. Location Map B. Proposed Sketch Plan C.
