Agenda Item:
Motion approving the Preliminary Plat of Victory Ridge Apartments. The subject property is described as Outlot B, Kearney Addition No. 2; by request of Bolton and Menk, with permission of the property owner.
Recommendation/Action(s):
At the August 27, 2025, meeting, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council motion to approve the preliminary plat.
Summary:
The applicant is requesting a preliminary plat review of the Victory Ridge Subdivision, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Victory Drive and Dublin Road. The subject property is legally described as Outlot B, Kearney Addition No. 2.
The preliminary plat proposes the creation of a one-lot, one-block subdivision encompassing approximately 14.83 acres. The property has been evaluated for woodlands, shoreland, and wetlands. The applicant has shifted the development to minimize impacts to the wooded areas and the shoreland areas. The wetlands will be reviewed in conjunction with the final plat.
The applicant will be required to conduct a hydrology study for the site. The review shall also include development of pond areas adjacent to the slopes on the site.
Concept plans for the Victory Ridge Subdivision illustrate a grouped housing development consisting of four apartment buildings with a total of 180 residential units. Supporting site improvements include four garages, on-site parking designed to provide two stalls per unit, and associated residential amenities. The property is currently zoned O-R, Office Residential, where grouped housing projects are classified as conditional uses. As such, additional review and approval through the conditional use permit process will be required before the project may proceed.
Public utilities are available within the Dublin Road corridor to serve the proposed development.
Site access is proposed from Dublin Road and will be required to conform to the City’s engineering and access management standards. The applicant is in the process of preparing a traffic memorandum, which will be submitted with the conditional use permit application for further review. At the Planning Commission, there was discussion about the ability to make a left-turning movement from the area. This analysis will be included in the review. If improvements are proposed to the Adams Street and Victory Drive intersection, the City has entered into agreements with previous developments to cost participate in modifications to the system.
The applicant will be responsible for payment of parkland dedication fees in the amount of $69,734.00.
