Date Application Received: August 17, 2021 Date Application Considered as Complete: September 13, 2021 60-Day Review Period Expires: January 11, 2022 To: Chair Kirchner and Planning Commission Members Adam Edwards, City Administrator From: Jeremy Barnhart, AICP, Community Development Director Date: September 20, 2021 Subject: #LA21-000061, Eric Vogstrom o/b/o Bill and Susan Dunkley and Eric Vogstrom/OWNERs, 2709 Walters Port Lane and 2710 Pence Lane, Preliminary Plat - Public Hearing Background Pence Lane Addition was platted in November 2018, establishing two buildable lots and an outlot. The buildable lots have been improved with the construction of single family homes at 2709 Walters Port (Lot 1), and 2710 Pence (Lot 2). Two conditions were included in the approval resolution (Resolution 6918) regarding access: 4)Access to Lot 1 (2709 Walters Port) will be via Walters Port Lane only. 6)Vehicular access to Pence Lane from Lot 1 is expressly prohibited. The conditions were added to prevent 2709 Walters Port from connecting to Pence Lane, creating a 5th lot with connection to Pence, a private driveway. City Code allows for up to 2 lots to connect to a private driveway; 3 or more requires the conversion of the driveway to at least a private road standard. The third and fourth lots connecting to Pence are legal non-conforming, their connections occurring before they were prohibited by Code. There has been some discussion whether Pence is a private driveway or private road. Pence is a substandard access that does not terminate in a cul de sac. The applicants now propose a new plat and improvements to Pence Lane, by adding a cul de sac conforming to city standards. No new lots are created. Application Summary: The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to replat the original lots making up Pence Lane Addition, including the two buildable lots and the outlot, to facilitate a new cul de sac. This will also remove the access related conditions imposed on the original plat. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the plat as presented, subject to the City engineer approving the grading plan, and the provision of trees to buffer the impact of the parallel driveways.
