Review the sketch plat
for the River Subdivision, a replat of portions of the Allen Bales Tracts and
Carl Mitchell Addition located at US-54 and Daisy Street. Kenny Hill
described this plan and said it is located on the southwest corner of Kellogg
and Andover Road and that the property is platted and zoned. It extends over
to Allen Street, south to Pointer Drive. Daisy Street extends north to south
through the middle of the property from Pointer Street to Kellogg and Pointer
will extend from Daisy to Allen and Allen Street is platted also.
The right-of-way on Daisy
and Allen Streets at the widest point are 52’. The proposed plan is for Pointer Street to curve east to west and, would not have any parking on the street. Daisy
Lane would be the same running north and south and would be a 60’ wide
right-of-way with 30’ of paved street. A median would be built at the
intersection of Hwy. 54 which will direct traffic through the right-in
right-out which is part of the highway project that has been put out for bids.
There have been additional right-of-ways granted on Allen Street to make that
transition at an angle.
Kenny said Allen Street could provide parking and is platted as a 64’ street right of way with a 35’
width. Daisy Street as proposed would dead end in a hammerhead turnaround. It
can tie to the rear access of Lot 1 Block 3 if the plan is developed as shown
on this plan. Jeff said Feather Street could carry traffic west to Allen Street.
Kenny said he is working
with Les about the 50’ right-of-way along Kellogg from Daisy east to the Carl
Mitchell Addition and is right next to the highway. This does not work well
with the plan of the right-in right-out of the median. They are proposing
moving that access another 100-150’ south as shown on this plan. Kenny said a
semi with a 50’ wheel base can get in and out of this area. They want to use
the existing pavement for parking and then move the driveway to the south.
The entry point would probably be 40’ instead of 30’ as shown on the plan.
Owner Hal McCoy said there
is a cross ingress/egress agreement already in place.
Mr. McCoy said he has owned
this property for 4-5 years and explained his vision for this
project/property called “The River” and building the country/family
atmosphere for the City of Andover. He went into great detail about the
Walnut Valley Country Store and other buildings planned for the area which
includes a hotel and event center. The east side of the property is planned
to be commercial. Each building will be required to contain some sort of
water feature to work in with the theme of the “River”. There is a verbal
agreement with the existing liquor store that they will change their building
to conform to any architectural theme that this development has. This
development is planned to have continuity not cookie-cutter looks.
Clark Nelson said this plan supports
the intent of the updated Comprehensive Development Plan.
Kenny Hill said sewer is
available on site. He said there is one small area that may need to be
relocated. The owner wishes to fast track this project. They will be
preparing the final plat for this property very soon.
Clark Nelson said in his
memo he is in favor of this plan moving forward.
Jeff Bridges asked if Mr.
McCoy would maintain ownership of the pad sites. Hal said no, he would not,
but there will be a covenant agreement which will require existing uses or
changing uses or change their architecture, and would include a common area
maintenance agreement. Hal will propose a more advanced common area maintenance
agreement where not only do we maintain the snow removal and trash removal,
but also landscaping, and lots sold to designate a certain % on their sales
to fund a common marketing and promotion agreement.
Charlotte Bass asked if the
drainage plan has been submitted. Kenny Hill assured her it has been
submitted for approval and he is sure everything will work fine.
Ron Roberts made a motion
to approve the sketch plat of the River Subdivision as presented subject to
the comments by Staff. Charlotte Bass seconded the motion. Motion carried 3/0.
