July 12, 2017 Centerville City Council Page 6 of 7 Peltier Estates - Rezoning and Plat Street connection & alignment The plat proposes a through street connecting 20th Avenue on the east with Brian Drive, an existing cul-de-sac on the southwest edge of the property. At the Planning Commission public hearing there was considerable discussion of maintaining the cul-de-sac vs. a through street connection, and the previous assumption on whether Brian Drive was intended to be extended through this property. One can sympathize with the current neighbors who do not want a through street built on their street, but the larger context is important to consider. As can be seen in the map below, the platted right-of-way lines for Brian Drive show that it was intended to go through some day, as does the City's transportation and street plan, regardless of temporary construction of a cul-de-sac turnaround. Comparing the two dead-end streets below, one can see the large platted bulb of right-of-way for Deer Pass Drive, below to the right, pulled back from the adjacent property, and the narrow straight street right-of-way lines for Brian Drive, abutting directly the adjacent property to the north. There was also discussion of Rice Creek Watershed District policy not allowing wetland disturbance for a cul-de-sac vs. a through street. Until that is resolved through RCWD the applicant and the City Council cannot know the final shape of this plat. Dr",;,iii W1IIGI crrl i t uUlI 1y i i nfiirld �,
