Zoning File #2078 <br />October 10, 1995 <br />Page 3 <br />Refer to Exhibits F, G and I, involving Application #2077 (sketch plan at end of agenda). <br />Application #2077, involves a replat and vacation of roadways that provide the only public <br />access to the parcel to the immediate west of proposed Lot 2. That western parcel consists ot <br />3+ acres and is located within the LR-IB, 1 acre zoning district. The property could be further <br />subdivided as well as Lot 2. A 30’ driveway outlot could never serve as a legal access for the <br />additional units. Review Exhibit F, note Linden Avenue does not abut western parcel. An <br />approved public access or right-of-way must be provided. Staff has sketched three options <br />(Exhibits I, A, B, and C) for an improved public access to the five existing properties and those <br />units to be created in a future subdivision. Staff has provided three options for access. Planning <br />Commission may have other recommendations. <br />If a permanent public access is platted to the western parcel then a driveway outlot along the <br />southern boundary of proposed Lot 2 would not have to be created with the current division. <br />Staff has discussed this matter with the current owner of the western parcel. It is his intention <br />to continue using the private easement driveway. He recognizes the City’s obligation to maintain <br />a public access to his property and also prepare for access for additional umts. Staff would <br />recommend that the Knight property continue to use the driveway easement until the property is <br />divided in the future. If the City approves Application #2077, a driveway outlot along the <br />southern boundary of Lot 2 would not be necessary but that applicant will be asked to participate <br />in dedicating public right-of-way extension of Linden Avenue. The City’s resolution approving <br />this plat would note that the existing easement that serves the Knight property continue to serve <br />the Knight property as long as it seiwes the single residential unit but if subdivided in the future, <br />the owner will be recjuired to achieve access via the extension of Linden Avenue. <br />Access to Lot 1 will continue to be via the existing curb cut at the County Road. Access to Lot <br />2 shall be from the existing driveway along the southern boundary. <br />Review Exhibit E, there are no designated wetlands located within the property. The applicant <br />has not provided a soil delineation report. This should be included as part of the preliminary plat <br />application and must be submitted to staff prior to scheduling the application before the Council. <br />The drainage area within the ravine should be designated as drainage easement. City Engineer <br />will be asked for a recommendation as to the desired width of that easement. The applicant may <br />wish to realign shared lot line along the mid-point of the ravine area. The County has been asked <br />to review the plat. Staff will report on any comments they may have at your meeting. <br />Staff Recommendatior. <br />To approve the two lot subdivision of property located at 405 Tonkawa Road for Jensen Homes <br />Inc. finding all standards of the LR-IB, LR-1 A, on-site septic dispo.sal code and pertinent sections <br />of the subdivision regulations have been satisfied.
