The total plat area is just over 32 acres. The preliminary plat was approved in August 2018. The property is zoned R-2 (low medium density residential) and requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet with a minimum lot width of 60 feet. All lots meet these requirements. The final plat includes three outlots. Outlots B and C will be deeded to the city. This addition will include the extensions of 213 Street W and Spruce Street into the development and will have temporary cul-de-sacs at the eastern boundaries of the 3rd Addition. Both streets will have 5-foot wide sidewalks on the north side. An 8-foot wide trail will go through Outlot C, extending from Spruce Street to the intersection of the future Biscayne Avenue. The trail will be constructed in future phases. Lot frontage trees will be provided. Staff recommended approval of the final plat contingent upon the following: 1. The satisfaction of all engineering comments related to the construction plans for grading and utilities. 2.
