PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT — REPRESENTATIVE BRUCE LEMKE 14. #15-3763116-3860 CHRISTOPHER AND GAIL BOLLIS/CHRISTOPHER AND RACHEL BOLLIS, 200-350 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH -FINAL PLAT APPROVAL — RESOLUTION NO. 6708 Senior Planner Gaffron stated on September 14, 2015, the City Council adopted a resolution granting preliminary plat approval for a 7 -lot plat of the properties located at 200-350 Stubbs Bay Road. Since that time the developer has submitted a variety of documents. The applicants have completed the agreement with the neighborhood to the south. In that agreement the applicants are proposing to extend the private road from the end of Kintyre Lane near the end of Watertown Road. In addition, the development agreement will require that all access for road construction be from Stubbs Bay Road. Further, the little wobble in one section of the road has been removed in order to straighten it out and the developer will be moving a house and some trees in there. The City Council is also looking at a septic system agreement for the septic system located on Lots 4 and 5 where the septic system is currently located over a lot line. Gaffron stated the applicants are proposing to grade building pads into certain lots, creating new engineered grades to establish existing ground levels for individual building purposes. The private road in Outlot B is subject to private easement and maintenance covenants as well as an underlying access easement to the City. An easement for public access is not being granted, which makes this truly a private road. Staff and the City Attorney feel there is minimal, if any risk, to not requiring an underlying public easement when certain conditions exist. Those conditions exist in this situation and include the following: The private road being created does not have the potential to be extended to serve adjacent undeveloped properties. 2. The developer has established covenants that require homeowner maintenance of the private road yet allow the City to provide for maintenance if the homeowners do not do so, and to assess the homeowners for that work.
