HCIIJSE 612 844 1320 P.02 02 James Render, the applicant proposing a three lot subdivision of the property located at 1365 Tonkiwa Road is planning to build three architecturally unique “cottage” style homes, one of which will be his personal residence. These homes are proposed to be approximately 1800-2000 square feet on the main level with smaller finished aiea on the second level, and finishable area in the walkout lower level, and three car attached garages. The plan would be to build on lot 3 in 1998 while living in the existing house until the new one was complete, the existing home would be removed along with the existing detached garage within 24 months, prior to any construction beginning on either lot 1 or lot 2. Applicant proposes to either giant an easement for roadway purposes or dedicate right of way along the southeasterly 42 feet of the property for the future construction of a roadway to connect with Birch Lane. Applicant further agrees to accept the prorata share of special assessments relative to the cost of constructing this roadway when and if it is built. In the interim the owners shall have the right to construct and maintain a priv'ate road/driveway within this easement area. Applicant does not wish to see a city' standard roadway with a temporary cul- de-sac at this time for the following reasons: 1) 1 see no need to create so much unnecessary' hardcover area when it will not be used for many years, if at all. 2) Would create a potential nuisance to the neighborhood as it would atti’act boat/'trailer parking and turnaround traffic. 3) Would not conform to the style and feel of the exi^‘ing neigjiborhood. 4) Would require public maintenance , which would bt an unnecessary City expense. Applicant requests City approval to subdivide the property along the above referenced guidelines. TOTAL P.02
