PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Revised Preliminary Plan – Tuscany Hills Subdivision, Corner of Ragsdale and Split Log Road

Ragan Smith Associates requests approval of a revised preliminary plan for the Tuscany Hills Subdivision, located on the north side of Split Log Road at its intersection with Ragsdale Road.

The revised plan shows a 3.13-acre tract (Lot 200) located at the intersection of Ragsdale and Split Log Road that will be dedicated to the City for future fire station site.

The tract would be conveyed to the City at no charge. This dedication would be consistent with the requirements of Section 78-187 of the zoning ordinance -- Open Space Credit for Community Wide Benefits.

Other changes to the OSRD Development Plan include:

Elimination of Positano Drive, in Section Seven, which has not yet been constructed and is the second connection to Split Log Road.
Construction of a new boulevard section in Tuscany Way to facilitate traffic flow in the event of an emergency.
The amount of excess open space is also reduced 2.57 acres, from the current 5.65 acres to 3.08 acres.

Note that the plan shows an existing stub street at the end of Fontanella Drive connecting to the Dorothy Jones property on the north end of the project. Mrs. Jones owns two tracts having areas of approximately 28 acres and 43 acres, which are largely vacant, except for one home and the cellular installation on the east side of the tract.
The plan also proposes the construction of a six-foot sidewalk along the Split Log Road frontage from Tuscany Way to the easterly boundary, which is approximately 780 feet. The sidewalk along the Tuscany frontage will be constructed by the developer. There is one parcel between Tuscany and the school site that includes approximately 326 feet. The City will construct the remaining sidewalk connection to the school property, and coordinate the work with the owner of the property. WCS will continue the sidewalk onto their property.

The sidewalk will allow students living in Tuscany Hills to walk or bike safely to/from school without crossing Split Log Road.

Since the plan proposes changes to the number of lots within the project, approval of the corresponding changes to the OSRD Development Plan by the City Commission is required. As part of the recommendation, the Planning Commission will also be asked to provide endorsement to the Board of Commissioners of the proposed open space credit for the 3.13-acre land dedication.
