Zone File #1301 July 14r 1988 Page Three of Four to move north 150 feet» leaving about 4.5 dry# buildable acres within lot 2. Based on this configuration. Lot 2 would not be further subdividable under the two acre unsewered zoning. Planning Commission should then discuss whether a lot width variance as measured at the 50 foot setback from County Road 19 is appropriate, and should discuss whether or not the east/west line between Lots 1 and 2 should be straightened out rather than gerrymandered, as is currently proposed. 2. Is Outlot A intended for immediate development as a^ single residential lot, or is it strictly to be held for a future subdivision? If it is going to be subdivided in the future, what configuration does Planning Commission feel would be most appropriate? Given that determination, is there any need to dedicate future accesses with the current subdivision? 3. Topographic map was not provided. Is a topographic map critical to this Subdivision Application? Discussion - The tested drainfield sites and proposed building site on the property are 250 feet or more east of County Road 19. In walking to the rear of Lot 2 around the north end of the wetland, it was apparent that portions of this property have been used as a dumping ground fcr many years. Perhaps the best thing that could happen to this property would be development into 2 acre lots with subsequent individual owners cleaning up the dump sites. For the record, staff would note that most of the junk on the property will have to be hauled out and not buried on the site. Likewise, you will note the excessive amount of outside storage on the property, including vehicles and building materials. The existing house is currently rented, but upon completion of the subdivision it will be sold to a new owner, and presumably the storage will disappear. A further comment: If you plan to walk to the rear of the property to see the building site for lot 2, there is a pathway that generally follows the edge of the wetland and it was dry the day I walked it, but wear your hiking boots. Staff Recommendation - would recommend approval of this subdivision, subject to resolution ^^0 issues noted above. If Planning Commission does recommend preliminary plat approval based upon the proposed configuration or one similar to it, such a recommendation for approval should incorporate the following conditions: 1. Payment of appropriate park fee for Lot 2. 2. Place specific stipulations on Outlot A that define the reasons it is being approved as an outlot rather than as a separate Lot 3.
