Date: February 23, 2010
Subject: SDP200900093 & SUB200900161 Old Trail Village Block 3 (Phase B) — Final Site Plan
Current Development staff has reviewed the options for lot frontage for the proposed rowhouses within
Old Trail Village Block 3 Phase B. It was originally determined that a private street would be necessary to
provide the required frontage to proposed Lots 8 through 12.
The approved Old Trail Village Code of Development (ZMA- 2004 - 00024) indicates that within Zone CT-
5, which includes Block 3, frontage for rowhouses may be provided by a "public street" or a "grass mall"
(see diagram Old Trail Center Zone CT5, Design Elements in Code of Development). Proposed Lots 1
through 7 have frontage on Old Trail Drive, Lots 13 through 24 are provided frontage by Claremont Lane,
both public streets. Proposed Lots 8 through 12 are depicted as "fronting" on a grass mall. This is deemed
as acceptable frontage for the subdivision. All of the proposed lots within Block 3 Phase B will be
accessed in the rear by alleys. The alley sections shall be designed with a 24 -foot easement, a 12 -foot
asphalt travelway, and no curb and gutter, as shown on the Transportation Plan approved with the Code of
Development, except as provided herein:
The width of the required alley easement for Mornington Court may be reduced to 20 -feet.
The asphalt section for Mornington Lane and Mornington Place shall be 20 -feet in width because
this provides the only emergency vehicle access to Lots 8 through 12.
In order to obtain approval of the subdivision plat (SUB200900161), the following access improvements
will need to be built or bonded:
Claremont Lane between the pool access and Brookley Drive.
Mornington Place as proposed on the Old Trail Village Block 3 (Phase B) Final Site Plan.
Mornington Lane between Mornington Place and Mornington Court.
This memo does not constitute approval of the above mentioned applications. Engineering review is not
complete at this time.
