To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: November 9, 1988 Subject: #1354 Robert & Margaret Merkow/John & Phyliss Charlton, 2340 & 2380 Abingdon Way - Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement - Public Hearing Application - Revise lot line between two properties. Zoning District - RR-1B List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survsy Pertinent Facts - 1. Each existing lot exceeds 2.v acres in area. The proposed realignment of the lot line will result in a slight increase (.02 acre) in the property at 2380, and an equivalent decrease in the property at 2340. 2. The reasons for the proposed rearrangement include expansion of the Merkow front yard, as well as allowing their driveway to be located further west. 3. Existing and future drainfield sites are not affected by this rearrangement. Discussion - This is a simple lot line rearrangement, and would appear to be reasonable and of b•�nefit to both property owners. Staff finds no problems with the proposed realignment. Note that the new line will not line up with the existing drainage and utility easements. It is the applicants' intent to grant new drainage and utility easements over the new line, and as of this writing, applicants' surveyor notes that it is their intent to proceed with a vacation of the existing drainage and utility easement. The surveyor also notes that there are apparently no existing utilities that would be affected by this moue. Since tt.e issue of easement vacation was not brought up until after the subdivision application was filed and notice published, the vacation will be the subject of a subsequent application, for review at your next meeting. Staff Recoa■iendation - Staff recommends approval of the proposed lot line rearrangement, subject to granting of new drainage and utility easements over the new dividing line, with the intent that the existing easements will eventually be vacated.
