April.4, 1995 Page 3 Hillside Place/Dahl Request for Wallace Avenue Access the Planning Commission had no information on which to review that request and it couldn't be addressed at that time, but that the Public Works Department would have to review it. • It was then (and is today) my opinion that the lot line rearrangement for the purpose of ensuring that each of the two resultant lots had 0.50 acre in area and 100' of defined lot width on a public road (Hillside Place), is a separate issue from the actual driveway location. The lot line rearrangement would result in two conforming lots regardless whether Lot 44's access came from the front or the rear. • The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to elimination of access to the existing homes, resulting in no more than the two new homes using Hillside Place; installing barriers to use of Hillside Place by the two existing homes; and the granting of appropriate drainage and utility easements. • My staff memo of September 8, 1994, on Page 2 indicates to the Council that there is a request for access off of Wallace Avenue, and acknowledges that if such access is granted, one of the two existing houses could maintain its existing Hillside Place access. The Council at their September 12 meeting did not specifically address the access issue, although the limitations on the future use of Hillside Place were touched on in my verbal review of the application for Council. When asked by Callahan, Segner indicated she was satisfied with all of the requirements. At that time, it was the expectation of staff and the applicant including Ms. Dahl that a staff decision on the Wallace Avenue access would be forthcoming as a separate action. Your denial decision was dated September 19, and Dahl chose to appeal it. Please advise if I can provide you further information. lsv
