SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (January 31, 2018) The applicant was present representing the request. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were additional items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated the new lot line should be indicated with a minimum lot depth of 100-feet and a minimum rear yard setback of 25-feet. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff requested the applicant relocate the drive to the north side of the property to allow for additional sight distance and to reduce confusion and conflicts with the adjacent driveway to the south. Staff also stated all driveways were to be concrete aprons per City code. Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. ANALYSIS: The applicant has revised the plat to allow for a minimum lot depth of 100-feet for Lot 2 and indicated the rear building setback of 25-feet. The applicant is working with public works staff to determine the best location for the driveway to serve the existing home as well as the new home. The request is for plat approval to allow the creation of two (2) lots from an existing 1.47-acre parcel. The lots are indicated containing 0.32-acres and 1.17-acres. Lot 2 contains an existing single-family residence. Lot 1 is proposed for future construction of a single-family home. The request includes a variance from Section 31-231 to allow the creation of lots without public street frontage. The applicant is proposing to serve the rear lot via an access and utility easement extending from Alexander Road to the new lot. The easement will be placed in the best location to provide adequate sight distance for the drive intersection with Alexander Road. 2 April 5, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: C (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1806 Staff is continuing to work with the applicant to determine the best location for the drive accessing the two (2) lots. Staff will provide an update and recommendation at the upcoming public hearing. J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation forthcoming. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (FEBRUARY 22, 2018) The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff presented the item stating they and the applicant had not been able to resolve staff's concerns regarding the placement of the driveway to serve the existing lot and the new lot. Staff presented a recommendation of deferral of the item to the April 5, 2018, public hearing to allow additional time to resolve this issue. The item was placed on the consent agenda and approved as recommended by staff by a vote of 10 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. STAFF UPDATE: The applicant has submitted a revised preliminary plat with access located along the northern boundary. The plat includes the dedication of right of way along Alexander Road per the Master Street Plan requirement. The plat indicates the placement of a 25-foot building line along Alexander Road. The ordinance would typically require a 30-foot building line adjacent to an arterial street classification. If a 30-foot building line is included the existing home would be located beyond the building line. Staff is supportive of the building line as indicated. The applicant has addressed staff's concerns related to sight distance with moving the driveway to the location indicated on the plat. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request. 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.
