Review and action of a Subdivision Permit and Plat for Swan Ranch Rail Park, Tenth Filing, a replat of Lots 1-3, Block 2, Swan Ranch Rail Park, Second Filing, Laramie County, WY.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AVI, PC, on behalf of Cheyenne Leads, has submitted a Subdivision Permit and Plat application for approval of Swan Ranch Rail Park, Tenth Filing, a replat of Lots 1-3, Block 2, Swan Ranch Rail Park, Second Filing, situated at the southwest corner of Berwick Drive and Trumpeter Drive and addressed as 6131 and 6997 Trumpeter Drive. The purpose of the application is to create 2 lots which will provide access for Lot 2 to the south and for the unplatted property to the west.

BACKGROUND

Swan Ranch Rail Park, Second Filing, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on November 2, 2010. There is an existing 30,000 SF commercial building located at 6131 Trumpeter Drive (Lot 1, Block 1 of the proposed subdivision).

This subdivision is occurring within a mile of the City and requires Governing Body review (W.S. 18-5-308(b) and approval. At the City Council meeting held on April 24, 2017, the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the final plat was unanimously approved with no conditions.

Pertinent Regulations

Section 2-1-101 (a-d) of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations governing the criteria for a subdivision permit.

Section 2-1-101 (e) of the Laramie County Land Use Regulations, governing criteria for a plat.

AGENCY REVIEW Cheyenne Development Services: This subdivision is occurring within a mile of the City and requires Governing Body review (W.S. 18-5-308(b) and approval. This plat has been submitted to the City and is processing concurrently with the County.

County Real Estate Office: In the title block, please list exactly what lots are being replatted. (L1-3).

County Engineer: Engineer Review 1. It does appear that an industrial access meeting the Laramie County Land Use Regulations can be constructed within the access easement shown for Lot 2. When a site plan is submitted, the access will need to be shown and verified that it does meet the Regulations. 2. A note as to whether or not any portion of the platted area falls within a FEMA Floodplain area (and referencing the correct FIRM Panel with date) needs to be added onto the plat. 3. Notes need to be added to the plat addressing water and sanitary sewer systems (i.e., public, private, etc.) and which Fire District serves this area. 4. I concur with the request of a waiver of a detailed drainage study and traffic study at this time. Both items will be required at the time of the Site Plan application.

Surveyor Review 1. The Dedication states "do hereby grant the easements shown hereon for the purposes indicated". The 60' Access Easement along the West boundary of Lot 1 and Lot 2 doesn't identify who has a right to utilize the easement. Is it the Public or is it restricted to certain individuals or landowners? 2. Looking at the various line types on the Plat, it appears that the Access Easement is part of Lot 2, making Lot 2 an odd/irregular shaped Lot. It might be a good idea to cross-hatch the easement to clearly indicate the area to be included in the easement. The Access Easement appears to be a "dead end" at the South end with no turn-around easement provided. 3. The description of the signature line for Randy Bruns states "B/B/A", should be D/B/A. 4. LEGEND: Needs to be expanded to include, (M) Measured Data, additional line types such as Subdivision Boundary Line, Lot Lines, Easement Boundaries, Street R-O-W etc.. This will help the user interpret the Plat. 5. The location of points of curvatures and intersections shall be shown. Some of the points of curvature are shown and some are not shown. The Curve No. labels (C#) for C3, C4, and C6C10 are really small and difficult to read. They are all the same size in the table.

DISCUSSION

PlanCheyenne contemplates Industrial as the future land use. The Industrial category provides for a range of employment-focused uses, which may have impacts such as noise, outdoor storage, and freight needs that make them incompatible in other areas of the community. Integration with the intermodal transportation network ? rail, freight, and air ? is an important factor in siting industrial areas. The site includes a rail spur for freight loading within the park. The existing use and location are in conformance with the plans and policies of PlanCheyenne (2014).

The Laramie County Comprehensive Plan (2016) identifies the area as Urban Rural Interface (URI), which is intended to accommodate a mix of more intensive land uses than other areas. These areas may have public water and sewer services, a higher level of vehicular access and a greater overall level of community services. Higher density residential, intensive commercial, employment centers and industrial uses are preferred in these areas. Large lot, low density residential or intensive agricultural uses are generally less suitable.

The property is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD); more specifically, Swan Ranch PUD. This zone allows for Industrial (I), Community Open Space (O), and Commercial (C) uses. The Swan Ranch PUD does not establish minimum or maximum lot size, but rather setbacks, open space, and landscaping requirements based on lot size and building coverage percentages. The proposed lot size would be an acceptable size for reasonable development to occur, and the proposed use fits within the PUD. Staff finds this application to be in conformance with the plans and policies of the Swan Ranch PUD and the Laramie County Land Use Regulations.

A development action sign was posted on the property and notifications were sent to the adjacent property owners regarding the application. No comments were received from the public.

Staff received agency comment confirming that the application was in process with the City, and comments relating to required mapping revisions, which have been addressed by the applicant with the revised plat included with this staff report.

The Laramie County Planning Commission held a public hearing of this application on April 27, 2017. No comments were received from the public. The Planning Commission voted (4 ? 0) to recommend approval of the subdivision permit and plat to the Board with no conditions.
