Request for Council Action continued page 2 of 3 July 7, 1995 Zoning File m020 B.Preliminary subdivision of three lots. All three lots meet the required area. Applican; has acquired an additional tenth of an acre with a lot line rearrangement to be approved by the Council at this meeting (Application #2021). Lot 3, the east lot line does not meet the required 200 ’ width to the rear of the 50’ front/street setback measured at 199.98’. Planning Commission members noted at their May meeting the inability of applicant to acquire the additional frentage at the northeast lot line. Members also noted that the property is sewered. An existing lot of record could be built on without variances if the lot measured 160* width (80% of 200 ’). Lots 1 and 2 shall be served by a private road, Oxford Road along the west lot line. Lot 3 would continue to use an existing driveway at Leaf Street. The existing cul-de-sac would remain until the development of Lots 1 and 2. The driveway serving the guest house on Lot 2 will also remain while structure is occupied. Staff recommends that the driveway be removed when new residences are to be constructed in order to minimize the impact on existing planted areas. Based on proposed location of residences, on Lots 1 and 2, it would be more efficient to require access from Oxford Road for new construction. All lots shall be served by sewer from Oxford Road. The property has already been .'.ssessed one sewer unit. Two additional sewer units at a cost of C24,225 each shall be paid prior to final plat approval. The private sewer line to serve Lot 3 will be located along the shared iot lines of Lots 1 and 2, review your preliminary plan. Exhibit J. Review E.xhibit E-2, the engineer has asked for a 15’ wide utility easement at the north side lot line of Lot 1 to allow for future sewer service to church property. The P'anning Commission was concerned with the impact on the mature trees within that area and asked that the City Engineer meet with developer to determine a second location that would have less impact on the existins amenities. Staff has met with Jim Bruce on the site and found that the utility easement could be relocated adjacent to the redesignated drainageway within Lot 1 at the south side. The new location would have no impact on mature plantings nor would it impact the building envelope of the lot. The developer has advised that the shed on Lot 2 would be removed prior to final plat approval. The existing residence on Lot 2, the former guest house, may cither remain to be a part of the principal residence or as an accessory structure with expanded living space but with no kitchen. Structure can never function as a separate residential unit because the property lacks the area requirement for a non-rental guest house use. The future owner will be asked to execute a covenant if the structure remains as a separate accessory structure with living area to alert all future owners that the structure could never serve as an independent residential unit.
