Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator February 8, 1990 #1470 Ruth & Daniel Parten, 4300 Bayside Road - Preliminary Subdivision List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Exhibit B - Exhibit C - Discussion •* Memo & Applicants’ Letter# 1/19/90 Notice of Planning Commission Action l/-'’/90 Memo & Exhibits of 1/10/90 The applicant is proposing a lot line rearrangement between his 13 acre homestead property and an adjacent 4 acre parcel w’ ich he owns. The 4 acre parcel abuts the Luce Line and was the subject of a lot area variance request in 1988# which was tabled until the applicant could provide legal access. Mr. Parten purchased this property# and proposes to expand it to increase its area to the 5 acre minimum# and provide it legal access to Bayside Road. The application as described above has evolved from Mr. Parten's original request to concurrently also split the homestead parcel into 2 lots. Staff and the Planning Commission have taken the position that the original plan would have required construction of a standard private road# to serve 3 building sites within a subdivision. The applicant subsequently dropped that proposal# not wanting to bear the expense of constructing an extremely long private road. With the current proposal there remains a concern as to the need and timing for private road development# due to the vacant 4-acre Reiersgord property directly to the east# which gains access via an easement through Parten's property. City Engineer Recoanendation - The City Engineer had recommended that a 50' road outlot extending to the northwesterly property boundary be dedicated to provide future access for 2 existing residences south of the Luce Line# which currently use Turnham Pond. Glenn also recommended construction of th;, road now# and further recommended that a 50' drainage easement be dedicated over the ravine traversing the homestead parcel. He further recommended that the applicant agree to grant the City a future access easement to the nature conservancy property.
