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