Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator 6 February 8, 1990 Subject: #1470 Ruth S Daniel Parten, 4300 Bayside Road - Preliminary Subdivision List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Memo & Applicants' Letterr 1/19/90 Exhibit B - Notice of Planning Commission Action 1/17/90 Exhibit C - Memo & Exhibits of 1/10/90 Discussion - The applicant is proposing a lot line rearrangement between his 13 acre homestead property and an adjacent 4 acre parcel which he owns. The 4 acre parcel abuts the Luce Line and was the subject of a lot area variance request in 1988, which was tabled until the applicant could provide legal access. Mr. Parten purchased this property, and proposes to expand it to increase its area to the 5 acre minimum, and provide it legal access to Bayside Road. The application as described above has evolved from Mr. Parten's original request to concurrently also split the homestead parcel into 2 lots. Staff and the Planning Commission have taken the position that the original plan would have required construction of a standard private road, to serve 3 building sites within a subdivision. The applicant subsequently dropped that proposal, not wanting to bear the expense of constructing an extremely long private road. With the current proposal, there remains a concern as to the need and timing for private road development, due to the vacant 4-acre Reiersgord property directly to the east, which gains access via an easement through Parten's property. City Engineer Recosonendation - The City Engineer had recommended that a 50' road outlet extending to the northwesterly property boundary be dedicated to provide future access for 2 existing residences south of the Luce Line, which currently use Turnham Road. Glenn also recommended construction of the rias now, and further recommended that a 50' drainage easement be dec‘.cated over the ravine traversing the homestead parcel. ^'^rther recommended that the applicant agree to grant- the City a future access easement to the nature conservancy property.
