AGENDA ITEM Item No.: 11 Date: February 26, 2018 Item Description: #18-3998 — James and Mary Jundt, 1400 Brackets Point Road, Preliminary Plat, Street Vacation Presenter: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Agenda Planning Department Development Director Section: Report 1. Purpose. This item is to consider a preliminary plat and right of way/ easement vacation associated with a proposed 5 lot subdivision at 1400 Bracketts Point Road. 2. 15.99 Deadline. Action must be taken by April 13, 2018. 3. Background/ Summary. This proposal was reviewed by the City Council as a sketch plan in November, 2017. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with that sketch plan. All lots meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance in terms of lot width and size. Lot Area (acres) Width at lake (feet) Lot 1, B1 2.41 335 Lot 2, BI 2.1 349 Lot 3, B1 2.35 363 Lot 1, B2 (Existing House) 3.36 415 Lot 2, B2 2.06 202 The proposed use of the property, single family residential at density of .5 units per acre is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The main feature of this project is the relocation of a portion of public Brackets Point Road from the western edge of the peninsula to the center of the peninsula. This relocation will require vacation of the existing right of way, and the sanitary sewer easement along this road. The Planning Commission staff report, attached as Exhibit C provides additional detail on the proposal. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 on two separate motions, one to approve the right of way and the easement vacation and a second to approve the preliminary plat as recommended in the staff report. Commissioners specifically noted that the trees replacing those removed should be planted in more of a natural pattern, versus equally spaced along the relocated road. Public Comment. A neighboring property owner to the south, Bruce Paddock, commented during the public hearing He felt that the lot housing the former Pillsbury house should be larger, possibly incorporating the adjacent lot, lot 2, Block 2. The lot housing the Pillsbury House is the largest within the subdivision and exceeds the minimum lot size outlined by the city code. He also commented that the private portion of Bracketts Point Rd should be converted to a public road. Since the Planning Commission meeting, the property owner has contacted city hall with a request to convert the road from private to public. The road is currently proposed simply as a relocation of an existing public road, and is proposed to remain public. The proposed configuration and cul de sac improves the circulation in the area, allowing for a more efficient turn around, pulls hard cover away from the lake, and create a more logical route for access to the three lots to the south of the point. 5. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and vacation of the road and easements, subject to the following conditions: Prepared By: J.
