<br />CASE #:3 <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN APPROVAL OF KINGS RANCH ESTATES; <br />CASE OF NATHAN WATTENHOFER <br />By: Chris Anderson, Environmental Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Nathan Wattenhofer is requesting sketch plan approval to subdivide a ten (10) acre parcel into <br />two lots. The prop~rty is located at 17151 Baugh Street NW. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Sketch plan <br />c) City Staff review letter dated October 31, 2003 <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />The plat is a minor subdivision and is not subject to a public hearing. Information regarding the <br />sketch plan request was sent to residents within 350 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Mr. Wattenhofer recently purchased a ten (10) acre parcel that has a single family home and <br />several accessory buildings, the largest of which required a conditional use permit (granted in <br />2007). In February, 'a fIre damaged a signifIcant portion of one of the smaller accessory buildings <br />and during the subsequent investigation, it was discovered that the large pole building <br />(approximately 15,000 sq. ft.), which was purported to be an indoor riding arena, contained <br />another dwelling unit and appeared to be set up for a commercial operation. City Code does not <br />permit two dwelling units on a single parcel and thus, Staff requested a meeting with Mr. <br />Wattenhofer to discuss potential corrective actions. After meeting with Building, Fire and <br />Planning Staff, Mr. Wattenhofer has applied for a lot split in an attempt to correct the <br />nonconformity. <br /> <br />The minimum lot size in the Rural Developing district is 2.5 acres and minimum lot width is 200 <br />feet. The lot split would result in one 3 acre parcel and one 7 acre parcel with lot widths of 380 <br />feet and 278 feet in width respectively. Each lot will be served by individual wells and septic <br />systems, which currently exist; however, the septic system on Lot 2 will need to be replaced or. <br />upgraded to account for the dwelling unit. <br /> <br />The sketch plan also identifIes the location of existing structures and indicates that they comply <br />with both principal and accessory structure property line setbacks. However, there is existing <br />pavement and fencing that span the proposed new lot line. The development agreement will <br />address these issues by requiring cross access easements where shared use of the pavement exists <br /> <br />21 <br />
