Date Application Received: 10/24/2022 <br />Date Application Considered as Complete: 09/25/2023 <br />120-Day Review Period Expires: 01/23/2024 <br /> <br /> <br />To: Chair Bollis and Planning Commission Members <br /> Adam Edwards, City Administrator <br /> <br />From: Melanie Curtis, Planner mcc <br /> <br />Date: 16 October 2023 <br /> <br />Subject: #LA22-000059, Thomas Ryan, 2245 Watertown Road <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The property owner is requesting preliminary plat approval to combine 5 separate PIDs into two buildable lots. <br />The combined area of the property is 5.13 acres (223,462 square feet) located within the RR-1B one-family rural <br />residential zoning district. This application is not a subdivision. Rather, it should be viewed as a more formal <br />boundary line adjustment (subdivision exception) due to the need to formally re-plat two of the parcels which are <br />currently classified as “outlots”. According to City Code, an Outlot is defined as “a lot depicted on a final plat <br />which intended for open space preservation, access, future development or other use”. Further, City Code <br />Section 82-254 states that outlots “are not intended for development except for the purpose in which they are <br />created, which may include streets, stormwater management, monument signs, etc.…”. <br /> <br />The wooded site includes a small drainage creek which the property owner is planning to reorient slightly. Work <br />began on the drainage creek in the Fall of 2022 without proper City permits. The work was stopped and the <br />applicant has been working with Staff to complete the project through permitting. <br />Application Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of a plat to combine 5 existing parcels into 2 lots. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
