This is a 14-lot subdivision on approximately 4.68 acres with access from Northshore Drive and Harvey Road. There is a blue line stream running through the property, essentially splitting the development into two parts. There are 12 lots with frontage on the proposed internal public right-of-way off of Northshore Drive, and 2 lots with frontage on Harvey Rd.

The subject parcel was part of a larger 24-acre rezoning to PR with up to 3 du/ac (2-L-03-RZ), which included The Oaks subdivision to the north across Northshore Drive. The Oaks subdivision was approved for 56 units on 19 acres (4-I-03-UR), which yielded a density of 2.95 du/ac. This plan proposes a density of 3 du/ac on approximately 4.68 acres.

The property boundaries run along the center of Northshore Drive and Harvey Road as no right-of-way was ever dedicated for these public roads. Since there are no established road lines here, the 35' peripheral boundary is measured from a distance of 20' from the street centerlines, according to Article 3.30.03 of the zoning ordinance.

There are existing sewer easements that run through the property (along the marked 'sewer line to be abandoned'), which are not shown on the concept plan. These easements would either need to be released or be shown on the final plat before the plat can be certified.
