Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />lO <br />May 24, 1990 <br />#1516 Mr. & Mrs. Whitney MacMillan, etal, <br />1560, 1580 and 1620 Fox Street - <br />Preliminary Subdivision - Resolution <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A “ Proposed Resolution <br />Exhibit B - Notice of Planning Commission Action 5/24/90 <br />Exhibit C - Memo & Exhibits of 5/16/90 <br />Exhibit D - Preliminary Plat Drawings <br />ony <br />Discussion - <br />This is a request for lot line rearrangements and property trades <br />between the various parcels and ownerships of the MacMillan <br />properties. The goal is to create one new building site for Mr. and <br />Mrs. Whitney MacMillan on which to construct a home. Please review <br />the staff memos of April 13, 1990 and May 16, 1990. The Planning <br />Commission reviewed this application at their April 16th meeting, ana <br />discussed a number of significant issues including: <br />Private road dedications <br />Private road improvements <br />Future development outlets <br />Lot line/setback concerns <br />Disposition of existing structures <br />The request was tabled at the April 16th meeting pending <br />resolution of the issue of an existing residence structure which was <br />proposed to be bisected by a lot line. The issue was whether <br />settlement of the estate for that property would allow removal of that <br />house in a timely manner. <br />Other minor issues were also considered, regarding the need for a <br />setback variance for an existing tennis court, disposition of other <br />accessory structures on the proposed building lot, and a technical <br />variance for front setback for an existing garage on Lot 3. <br />The City Engineer had early on recommended that the required <br />private road outlot also contain a platted cul-de-sac, and that the <br />road should be paved to City standards up to the cul-de-sac. He also <br />recommended a realignment of the road outlot at the northwest end to <br />conform with t» e neighboring property line rather than with the <br />existing drivew ys. <br />Regarding these road issues. Planning Commission agreed with <br />platting of the cul-de-sac, disagreed with the realignment at the <br />northwest end and disagreed with the need to upgrade this road, since <br />more than half of its length will serve only two existing houses.
