The property contains 35.6 <br /> acres and is split into 3 pieces by existing roads. The existing house is located in the northerly <br /> portion which is 22 acres in area but contains only 4.8 acres of dry buildable land as extensive <br /> wetlands are located on the property. The area south of County Road 6 and west of McCulley Road <br /> contains 5 acres and is proposed as a separate lot. The third piece is located in the southeasterly area <br /> and is approximately 8 acres in area and is proposed to be split into 2 pieces. The zoning district is <br /> 5 acres. When the City created McCulley Road in 1980,there was a condemnation of property from <br /> this parcel in order to have a corridor for the road. As part of the condemnation proceedings, the <br /> City agreed to allow the 8 acres to be divided into two 4 acre parcels. The City is obligated to allow <br /> that split. In the future, the intersection will be undergoing significant changes by the County <br /> resulting in the loss of 2 acres to the 8 acre parcel. The County in its acquisition realized that the <br /> taking of 2 acres would probably reduce this to a one lot situation and financially settled accordingly <br /> with the owners. Presently the City is looking at this as a 3 lot plat and applicants are in agreement. <br /> Because of the reduction in size and loss of a second drainfield site, staff recommends the platting <br /> of Lot 1, Block 3 as a single 6 acre lot. The result would be a 6 acre single building site that has <br /> tested septic sites with driveway access from Turnham Road. The second parcel would be <br /> approximately 5 acres with access 400-600' south of the new intersection. This lot has two septic <br /> sites tested and approved. The 22 acre parcel with the existing house contains approximately 4.8 <br /> acres of dry buildable land and because of the unique circumstances, a variance is likely justified to <br /> 41, allow less than a 5 acre requirement of dry buildable area.
