Mabusth Title Building & Zoning Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section Zoninii Item Description: #2025 Michael Plank, di 15/4147 Watenown Road - Preliminar>' Subdivision of Replat of Lots 2 and 3 of Maple Place Plat - Resolution Brief Review of Application Review Exhibits D-1 and 2, the original plat of Maple Place was approved in 1983 and involved the plat of three lots. The current division involves Lots 2 and 3 ot that plat. In 1993, applicant proposed a lot line rearrangement of Lots 2 and 3, review Exhibit D-2, and received an approval recommendation from the Planning Commission but w?s never completed. Since the Planning Commission ’s 1993 approval, the back lot/front lot ordinance was passed and now proposed Lot 2 would have to be increased to 7.5 acres. The back lot ordinance requires 150% of the area for the RR-IA zoning district (5 acre minimum). During a lengthy sketch plan review with the Planning Commission at their May meeting, the Planning Commission recommended that applicant replat Lots 2 and 3 and now designate a private road outlet. Lot 2 would no longer be considered a back lot as it would be served by a private road. Platting the roau outlot w ith the current lot line rearrangement ensures applicant of three residential units with 19+ acres (3.61 acres wet). Refer to Exhibit G. Proposed Lot 2 meets the 5 acres of dry land. Lot 1 at 10.3 acres would have adequate dry buildable land for a future division. Applicant was further advised at the sketch plan review that the northern lot of that future division would have to be served by the road outlot to the east and that developer would also be responsible for installing -» private road. At the public hearing for the preliminary subdivision application, applicant asked that Planning Commission amend their original directive and asked that the condition ot approval only asic that access to the properties and required upgrade of road be subject to current City standards at the time of the future subdivision. Planning Commission had no problem with amending their original directive. Applicant will proceed with the vacation of the drainage and utilities that intersect proposed Lot 1, refer to Exhibit D-1. A public hearing has been scheduled for the Planning Commission meeting in July. The application also involves the granting of a width variance to proposed Lot 2 as lot only measures 200’ at the 100’ setback. Planning Commission members felt that this type of width variance was consistent when lots abut a cul-de-sac.
