SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 12, 2009) Mr. Eric Krebs was present representing the owner. Staff presented the item to the Committee members stating the request was a two (2) lot plat for the 1-30 speedway. Staff stated the owner was requesting to final plat the lots in two phases with the smaller one (1) acre parcel final platted first. Staff stated the remaining 65 acre tract containing the speedway would remain unplatted. Staff requested Mr. Krebs provide the two (2) lots on a single plat drawing. Staff also requested the zoning classification be corrected on the plat drawing. Staff stated the current zoning of the property was R-2, Single-family. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated any new drives were required as concrete aprons per the City Ordinance. Staff stated at the time of development the stormwater detention ordinance would apply. Staff noted comments from the other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them individually for additional 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 12, 2009, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised plat indicates the zoning as R-2, Single-family and provided the two (2) lots on a single drawing. The request is a preliminary plat to allow the creation of two (2) lots from an existing 66 acre parcel. Lot 1 is proposed containing one (1) acre and Lot 2 containing 65.01 acres. A 25-foot front building line along the frontage road has been provided. Staff recommends the front building line be similar to the front building line typically required in the C-4, Open Display Zoning District or 45-feet. Staff feels the 45-foot building line is more consistent with the existing non-residential uses and potential future uses which will likely .locate in the area. The developer has indicated the lots will be final platted in two (2) phases with Lot 1 being final platted in the initial phase. 3 December 3, 2009 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 (Cont. ILE NO.: S-1642 Staff is generally supportive of the request. The applicant has indicated the subdivision is being requested to allow Lot 1 to be sold. There are no immediate plans for a change in use of Lot 2, the remaining 65 acre tract. The area is currently zoned R-2, Single-family with a non -conforming status for the race track. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. All future development of the site must comply with the current zoning or a rezoning request approved to allow a change of use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report. Staff recommends the front building line for the lots be placed at 45-feet to be more in keeping with the existing non-residential uses any potential future non-residential uses in the area.
