RECOMMENDATION REPORT
July 27, 2016
Case Number: #C10-16-204, C12-16-205
Applicant: CFM Realty
Request: Preliminary and Final Plat approval of COVENTRY REPLAT 9, a minor plat outside
the city limits, with rezoning from DR-Development Reserve District and R4-Single-
Family Residential District (High Density) to DR-Development Reserve District and
R4-Single-Family Residential District (High Density).
Location: West of 209th Street and George B Lake Parkway
I. GENERAL INFORMATION:
Purpose: To plat and rezone 12.53 acres in order to expand 2 existing residential lots, create 3 new
residential lots and provide 2 outlots (10.83 acres) to be used for open space/drainage purposes and a
public park.
Existing Land Use: Residential/open space Existing Zoning: DR/R4
Adjacent Land Use and Zoning:
North Residential R4
South Undeveloped AG/R6
East Office building MU
West Undeveloped AG/R4
Zoning History: ZBA #16-021, Approval of a variance to the rear yard setback from 25’ to 5’ for 21031
“X” Street, approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on April 14, 2016.
Case #C10-05-144, C12-05-145, Coventry phase I, approved by the City Council on January 30, 2007.
Future Land Use Plan Designation: Low-density residential.
Applicable Regulations: If approved, the subject property would be required to comply with the
regulations of the existing DR and R4 Districts, as well as all other applicable development
regulations.
II. SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Site Characteristics: The subject site includes two existing residential lots (21031 and 21037 “X”
Street) and a large lot (Lot 90, Coventry) located west of the 209th Street and George B Lake Parkway
intersection that is used for open space and drainage purposes. Lot 90, which consists of mature tree
coverage and moderate grade change, was designated in the original approved Coventry subdivision
agreement for a public park and drainage area.
Development Proposal: The proposed replat would address a few different issues. First, the two
existing residential lots fronting “X” Street would each expand their back yard by an average of
approximately 5,000 square feet. These properties currently have or wish to have improvements
within this expanded area. Next, the replat would create three new residential lots in the southeast
portion of the site and would front George B Lake Parkway. Finally, the subdivision proposes to plat
the remaining portion of the site into two outlots to encapsulate the drainage basin and allow for the
future construction of a public park.

Grading and Drainage: The project will be required to comply with all applicable stormwater
management ordinances and policies; including providing for a no net increase in stormwater runoff
and treatment for the first ½ inch of stormwater for water quality.
Parks and Open Space: Provisions for the use, ownership and maintenance of the outlots need to be
included in the final subdivision agreement.
The neighborhood park will need to be platted as a separate designated parkland lot and should be
rezoned to R4. The boundaries of this park lot will need to include the area south of the round rail
fence and one foot north of the fence line. These changes will be required on the Final Plat prior to
forwarding to City Council and will result in the plat having six lots and two outlots.

Parkway within the boundaries of the plat. Also, park plans and cost estimates must be approved by
the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board prior to bidding.
Land Use and Planning: The proposed subdivision and rezoning is consistent with Chapter 53
Subdivision of the Omaha Municipal Code and with the Future Land Use Element of the City’s
Master Plan.

of the City of Omaha Master Plan.
