Zoning File #2078 October 10, 1995 Page 3 Refer to Exhibits F, G and I, involving Application #2077 (sketch plan at end of agenda). Application #2077, involves a replat and vacation of roadways that provide the only public access to the parcel to the immediate west ot proposed Lot 2. That western parcel consists ot 3+ acres and is located within the LR-IB, 1 acre zoning district. The property could be turther subdivided as well as Lot 2. A 30’ driveway outlot could never serve as a legal access for the additional units. Review Exhibit F, note Linden Avenue does not abut western parcel. .\n approved public access or right*ot*w'ay must be provided. Stall has sketched three options (Exhibits 1. A, B, and C) for an improved public access to the five existing properties and those units to be created in a future subdivision. Stall has provided three options lor access. Planning Commission may have other recommendations. If a permanent public access is platted to the western parcel then a driveway outlot along the southern boundary of proposed Lot 2 would not have to be created with the current division. Staff has discussed this matter with the current owner of the western parcel. It is his intention to continue using the private easement driveway. He recognizes the City's obligation to maintain a public access to his propeny and also prepare for access for additional units. Staff would recommend that the Knight property continue to use the driveway easement until the property is divided in the future. If the City approves Application #2077, a driveway outlot along the southern boundarv of Lot 2 would not be necessarv' but that applicant will be asked to participate in dedicating public right-of-way extension of Linden Avenue. The City s resolution approving this plat would note that the existing easement that serves the Knight property continue to serve the Knight property as long as it serves the single residential unit but il subdivided in the future, the owner will be required to achieve access via the extension of Linden Avenue. Access to Lot 1 will continue to be via the existing curb cut at the County Road. Access to Lot 2 shall be from the existing driveway along the southern boundary. Review Exhibit E. there are no designated wetlands located within the property. The applicant has not provided a soil delineation report. This should be included as part of the preliminary plat application and mu.st be submitted to staff prior to scheduling the application before the Council. The drainaue area within the ravine should be designated as drainage ea.sement. City Engineer will be asked for a recommendation as to the desired width of that easement. The applicant may wish to realign shared lot line along the mid-point of the ravine area. The County has been asked to rev iew the plat.
