Five concept plans have been presented for <br />consideration. <br />Each proposal includes development of a private cul-de-sac road accessing from Brown Road South, <br />plus extensions to serve various outlying or back lots. The property is in the Metropolitan Urban Service <br />Area but does not abut any existing municipal sewer lines. The site is wooded and contains an existing <br />single family residence constructed in the 1920's. <br />This property was the subject of extensive reviews by the Planning Commission and Council during the <br />period 1999-2001. A variety of schemes ranging from 4 lots to 7 lots had been proposed, but the <br />ultimate result was denial based on the lack of suitable access to the site. <br />The owners of the property, the Van Eeckhouts, have taken legal action to have their existing easement <br />declared as usable for access to the property. The City Attorney is still reviewing documentation <br />provided to him, but his initial conclusion is that the 40' easement does in fact provide the applicant with <br />the right to create a road to serve multiple lots over that easement. <br />Henry Lazniarz is purchasing the property and is proposing to develop 7 lots on the 14 acres. He <br />apparently is open to suggestion as to the best layout for accomplishing this. <br />Staff Recommendation: While no formal action is required, this memo will provide a number of issues <br />for discussion or to be addressed when the formal application is submitted. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A -Application & Letter of Request <br />B -Concept Plans A-B-C-D-E <br />C -Plat map <br />D -Airphoto of Site <br />E -PRD Zoning Code Standards <br />1
