To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Date: November 17, 1988 Subject: #1358 Tim Johnson/Ted Feig, 627-629 North Ferndale Road - Renewal of Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement - Public Hearing Application - Revise lot line between two properties to reflect actual use pattern. This application was approved in 1987 but was never filed. The current review is essentially a procedural matter, since City code requires that if the subdivision approval expires, the approval process must be started over. Zoning District - RR-lB List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Resolution #2232, Approved 7/:7/87 Exhibit F - Council Minutes of 7/27/87 Discussion - Applicants originally proposed to revise the lot line between their two properties. This was approved by the Council in 1987 and was not a controversial application. Both properties remain at the two acre lot area standard. In conjunction with the lot line rearrangement, the applicants were granted a vacation of the old drainage easements along the interior lot line in exchange for new easements either side of the new lot line. The easement vacation resolution was similarly approved July 27, 1987 and does not have an expiration date, hence does not need to be renewed. Vote that the previous approval expiration was possibly a mis -communication between applicants and staff. The documents that applicants were supposed to execute and return to the City were never returnt:d. They claimed they never received them. Our application file contains only copies of the packet sent to each applicant, not the originals, hence we do not know for sure what happened. Staff Recommendation - Staff recommends approval of the renewal of the metes and bounds lot line rearrangement for Tim Johnson and Ted Feig at 627-629 North Ferndale Rudd, finding that both properties will benefit from the proposed lot line rearrangement.
