March 12, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 6 - Continued (2) Improve Reservoir Road to minor arterial standards. (3) Submit internal drainage plan to include detention. E. Analysis This item was submitted as a PUD, since it involves the replatting of a parcel into three lots served only by an 18' private drive. The ordinance requires that every lot abut upon a private street. Due to the small number of lots, staff does not oppose the proposal provided the drive is a minimum of 20'. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant agreed to provide a 20-foot drive as requested by staff. Water Works - The access easement should be designated as an access and utility easement. A watermain extension will be required in Reservoir Road and in the easement to serve i Lots 2 and 3. CANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Joe White represented the applicant. Mr. Scotty Scholl, a member of the Unity Church Board of Directors, was present. He reported that their parking lot abutted the project on the south. There is an existing right of access to rental property owned by the applicant through the parking lot. He requested that the applicant: (1) continue street through the plan for access to the rental property, which would allow church to gain extra parking spaces; (2) the plan be modified so that the street be located on the northern edge of the property or build a fence to discourage residents from parking on the church property; (3) explain drainage and water retention since there was a possibility of a great amount of runoff; and (4) explain sewer service. March 12, 1985 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 6 - Continued Mr. White explained that a sewer would be provided by the City by an extension and that he was not in a position to say that the private drive would be extended to serve the rental property. Mr. Larry Peters of L & L Real Estate represented his father. He expressed concern that major disturbance of the land may cause a water problem to the north. Mr. White explained that Mr. Peters was upstream from the project, so there shouldn't be a problem. Another resident, Mr. John Ruthbend of 2722 Reservoir, expressed concerns about drainage and a site distance problem. Mr. Scholl also felt that the drive would aggravate an existing traffic problem. The Commission did not feel that this development was extensive enough to create a traffic hazard. Finally, a motion for approval was made, subject to the building line of Lot 3 being moved to the east side of the drainage easement. The vote: 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 abstention.
