Final plat for June Lake Phase 1 (pod A) returns with questions about alleys, shared driveway and easement use
Summary
Wilson and Associates sought final plat approval for June Lake Phase 1 (75 lots) and the commission focused on alleys labeled public vs private, a 16-foot shared driveway across three lots, maintenance responsibilities for islands and open spaces, and whether a cul‑de‑sac labeled temporary was actually permanent.
Wilson and Associates presented a final-plat submittal for June Lake Phase 1, pod A, proposing 75 residential lots, 10 open spaces and multiple new streets during the Planning Commission’s May 27 work session. The preliminary plat was approved April 8, 2024 for 76 lots; the current final plat proposes 75 lots.
Staff outlined several items requiring clarification: whether alleys are public or private (the plan and notes conflicted), whether the shared 16-foot driveway under lots 266, 267 and 268 will be constructed and how utility and maintenance responsibilities across those lots will be handled, and whether a turnaround on Saint Clair Avenue is temporary or permanent. Staff also asked the applicant to provide a landscape plan, elevations, materials, driveways, and to specify whether the proposed lots are rear‑alley loaded.
The applicant’s representative said the turnaround on Saint Clair Avenue is permanent and that a portion of lots 266 and 267 falls within an island area that the homeowner would maintain while the remainder of Open Space 4 would be HOA-maintained. For the shared driveway the applicant said they will require a shared‑access agreement signed by homeowners and that the driveway construction would occur as part of the first of the three homes built, with HOA responsibility for ongoing maintenance.
Commissioners and staff raised a specific code issue about permitting stairs or permanent structures within public utility and drainage easements: development services and public works staff said the Unified Development Code does not allow permanent structures in drainage easements and recommended any variance request be directed to the Board of Zoning Appeals rather than granted administratively.
Commissioners left the item on consent conditional on submission of the requested landscape plans and clarifications; no final action occurred at the work session.
