CLASS III 12 LOT PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />B. REZONING <br />C. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT <br />D. STREET VACATION <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Gaf&on reported that the application is for subdivision of a number of individual parcels located at <br />the end of Wildhurst Trail and consisting of the 10 acre Morgart property, the Sollner property, the <br />Van Sloun property, and the eastern Morgart property, which has an existing house and accessory <br />building. The sketch plan was reviewed by both the Planning Commission and Council. <br />The proposal includes a request for rezoning. The Van Sloun and 10-acre Morgart properties are <br />located in the RR-IB Zoning District, which is outside the MUSA boundary. The Sollner and <br />eastern Morgart properties are within the MUSA boundary and in the 1 acre LR-IB Zoning District. <br />Applicant requests that the 10 acre parcel be rezoned from 2-acre zoning to 1 acre zoning. This <br />would also require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and a revision of the MUSA line. The <br />applicant is requesting a vacation of the platted right-of-way in the eastern Morgart property, which <br />has not been opened for public travel. This would involve replatting for building sites. The 14 lot <br />plat consists of 26.4 acres. The proposed right-of-way for vacation is 2.05 acres. Gaffron reviewed <br />the proposed layout. <br />Gaffron noted the requests for subdivision, comprehensive plan amendment and zoning amendment, <br />while intertwined, should be reviewed separately. Gaffron asked the Planning Commission to come <br />to a conclusion first regarding the comprehensive plan and zoning amendments without looking at <br />the specific plan itself. <br />The 10 acre Morgart property, which probably could be developed to a limited extend under the 2- <br />acre standards, consists of steep slopes. The rezoning to an urban density would allow for sewering <br />and for efficient development of the property. It would also limit the length of Wildhurst Trail. The <br />proposal limits the cul-de-sac extension as well. <br />8
