14 10. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. That the Subject Property has a total of two hundred and eighty-nine (289) feet of frontage on Tiger Street N.W.; and the original application proposed that the existing homestead parcel be platted at a width of two hundred (200) feet and the new lot created be platted at a width of 89 feet. That on June 5, 2003, the Planning Commission recommended that the Applicants revise their plan so that the new lot created complies with the 200 foot lot width requirement and the homestead, which is eligible for resubdivision, retain the 89 feet of road frontage to facilitate a 66 foot road right-of-way for the extension of a public road. west off of Tiger Street if and when the homestead resubdivides, at which time the non-conforming homestead would become conforming again. ' That Applicants have stated that an 89/200 lot split configuration would result, in the Applicants driveway being partially located on the new lot created and that a minimum lot width of 105 feet for the homestead is necessary to avoid this situation. That City Staff reviewed the street layout in the area and determined that the most desirable future access into Tranby Terrace 2nd Addition, if and when resubdivision occurs, should line up with I71st Avenue N.W. on the east side of Tiger Street. That the extension of 171st Avenue N.W. to the west side of Tiger Street would require the cooperation of Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Tranby Terrace 2nd Addition, and that the Applicant's daughter currently owns Lot 3. That if the variance to lot widths is granted, the Applicants have agreed to include Lot 3 in the subsequent minor subdivision and modify the lot lines so that the entire road right-of-way corridor necessary to facilitate2 extension of 171st Avenue N.W. to the west side of Tiger Street would become part of the Applicants homestead that is eligible for resubdivision in the future. That inclusion of Lot 3 in .the minor subdivision for the purpose of preserving a corridor for the extension of 171st Avenue N.W. negates the need to design the subdivision of Lot 2 with a future road alignment in mind as it would be too close to the 171st intersection with Tiger Street. That if the variance is granted and the Applicants apply for a minor plat, they will be required to submit'a future resubdivision plan to reflect that the new building site will not obstruct furore resubdivision of the Subject Property to its ultimate density in the event municipal services are extended to the area. That the Applicants have stated that the special conditions causing the hardship is the fact that there is a sufficient amount of area on the Subject Property to several lots, but they only want to create one (1) for a family member; and the only alternative to a variance is to construct a public road into the property. That by granting the variance, the City is provided with an opportunity to plan for the orderly extension of 171st Avenue N.W. to the west side of Tiger Street. Resolution #03-07- Page 2 of 3
