City of Omaha Planning Department
Planning Board
Memo
To: Chairman and Members of the Planning Board
From: David K. Fanslau
Planning Director
Date: August 29, 2018
Subject: Case #C10-18-131, C12-18-132
WOOD VALLEY WEST 2
North of Military Road and west of 147th Street
The Preliminary Plat of Wood Valley West 2, a subdivision outside the city limits, with rezoning
from AG-Agricultural District to R4-Single Family Residential District (high density) was
recommended for approval with conditions by the Planning Board at their regular meeting July
7, 2018. The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on August 28, 2018.
The applicant has submitted a final plat for review. The conditions of approval of the preliminary
plat are listed (with subsequent responses for this review included):
1. Provide access from Outlot A to Leeman Circle, and from Outlot C to 147th Avenue Circle.
(During review of the request, it was determined that Outlots A and C will be used for tree
mitigation purposes only and, as such, minimal access would be acceptable and can be
provided through the Military Trail frontage. This condition is no longer applicable.)
2. Coordinate the closure of Military Road with the Douglas County Engineer’s office.
Barricades shall be provided at the intersection of Military Road and Sheffield Drive to
ensure that vehicular traffic cannot access the Military Trail right-of-way. (Coordination of
the closure of Military Road will be addressed through the final subdivision agreement.)
3. Coordinate access/trail connectivity from Outlots A, B, or C to the Military Trail right-of-
way with the City and the Douglas County Engineer’s office. All site grading, storm sewer
design, access, and utility work completed as a part of this subdivision regarding Military
Road shall obtain a permit from the Douglas County Engineer. (This condition is still
applicable. Final design of the proposed trail will be addressed through the final
subdivision agreement.)
4. Coordinate the design of the trail crossing at 144th Street and Wyoming Street with Public
Works and Omaha Parks and Recreation. (The design of trail crossings will be addressed
through the final subdivision agreement.)
5. Submit an acceptable final tree mitigation plan that shows that all tree mitigation planting
is occurring within identified outlots. (A tree mitigation plan has been submitted.)
6. Provide for the use, ownership, and maintenance of the outlots in the subdivision
agreement. (The use, ownership, and maintenance of the outlots will be addressed as a
part of the subdivision agreement.)
7. Compliance with all applicable stormwater management ordinances and policies. (This
condition is still applicable.)

8. Provide sidewalks as required. (Sidewalks have been provided as required by Chapter
53, Subdivisions.)
9. Meet an acceptable debt ratio of 4 percent or less. (General obligation debt is
$763,288.74. Total valuation is $19,152,000.00. Debt ratio is 3.99 percent.)
The following additional comments have been included:
Grades for a trail connection through Outlot B are shown as steep as 20 percent, which
is not an acceptable slope for a publicly accessible trail. Outlot B must be designed to
be in compliance with all accessibility requirements. If an acceptable trail design cannot
be provided through Outlot B in its current location, the plat must be revised to relocate
Outlot B to a location that will accommodate an acceptable public trail connection.
ANALYSIS: Conditionally, the final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat and
ordinances of Chapter 53, Subdivisions of the Omaha Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the rezoning from AG to R4.
Approval of the final plat, subject to the conditions of preliminary plat approval and addressing
the following items prior to forwarding the request to City Council:
1. Submittal of an exhibit showing that a trail connection in compliance with all design
standards can be provided through Outlot B or revising the plat to relocate Outlot B to a
position that can accommodate an acceptable public trail connection.
2. Submittal of an acceptable final subdivision agreement.

REQUEST: Final Plat approval of WOOD VALLEY WEST
2, a subdivision outside the city limits, with
rezoning from AG to R4
LOCATION: North of Military Road and west of 147th
Street
At the Planning Board meeting held on September 5, 2018, Eric Englund, Manager of Current Planning,
stated that the preliminary plat was heard and approved by the Planning Board on July 7, 2018 and
approved by the City Council on August 28, 2018. He stated that all of the conditions have been adequately
addressed. Mr. Englund explained that the development will have an access trail to connect to Military Road
which will become a public trail in the future. Department calculations indicate that the grade for the trail is
unacceptable at this time, the applicant will need to either provide documentation that this outlot will be
acceptable for ADA access to the trail, or the outlot will need to be moved to an acceptable location.
Mr. Englund stated that the department recommends approval of the rezoning from AG to R4 and approval
of the final plat subject to the conditions of the preliminary plat and addressing the two items listed in the
report prior to forwarding to City Council for final approval.
Mr. Pate moved for approval of the rezoning from AG to R4. Approval of the final plat, subject to the
conditions of preliminary plat approval and addressing the following items prior to forwarding the request to
City Council: 1) Submittal of an exhibit showing that a trail connection in compliance with all design
standards can be provided through Outlot B or revising the plat to relocate Outlot B to a position that can
accommodate an acceptable public trail connection; 2) Submittal of an acceptable final subdivision
agreement. Mr. Rosacker seconded the motion which carried 7-0.
