ITEM NO.: A Cont. FILE NO.: S-878-C
G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 29, 2007)
Mr. Pat McGetrick was present representing the owner. Staff presented
an overview of the proposed replat stating there were additional items
necessary to complete the review process. Staff requested Mr. McGetrick
request a variance to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio or revise
the plat to eliminate the variance request. Staff also stated the plat
indicated the placement of a 35-foot platted building line adjacent to Kanis
Road and the Subdivision Ordinance required the placement of a 25-foot
platted building line.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated Kanis Road was
indicated on the Master Street Plan as a minor arterial and a dedication of
right of way 45-feet from centerline would be required. Staff stated street
improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk would be required per
the Boundary Street Ordinance. Staff stated streetlights were required
prior to final platting or certificate of occupancy.
Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and
agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional
information and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item.
The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final
action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff addressing the issues
raised at the November 29, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The
applicant has indicated the variance request, reduced the front setback to
25-feet and provided the source of title of the landowner in the general
notes section of the plat.
The applicant is seeking approval of a replat of two previously platted
tracts into five (5) commercially zoned lots (C-3, General Commercial
District). Access to the lots is proposed from Kanis Road with lots sharing
access along common lot lines. The proposed plat is indicated with lots
ranging in size from 1.39 acres to 2.01 acres. The lots are proposed for
development consistent with the present zoning classification with regard
to building setbacks and lot development criteria.
The replat as proposed includes a variance to allow an increased lot depth
to width ratio for four (4) of the proposed lots. Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5 are
indicated with a depth to width ratio of 4.3 to 1. The ordinance states no
lot in an office or commercial subdivision shall have a depth exceeding

three (3) times the width. Staff is supportive of the variance request. Staff
does not feel the variance will significantly impact the development.
Staff is supportive of the replat as proposed. Staff feels the creation of
five (5) commercially zoned lots is appropriate. The creation of the
commercial subdivision as proposed should enhance to viability of each
separate structure and ownership. Otherwise, to staffs knowledge, there
are no outstanding issues associated with the request. Staff is supportive
of the replat as proposed including the variance associated with the
creation of the lots as proposed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the replat as proposed including the
variance to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio for proposed Lots 1,
2, 4 and 5 subject to compliance with the comments and conditions as
outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report.
