ANDREWS ADDITION; CASE OF ANTHONY MOULDER By: Chris Anderson, Community Development Assistant Background: Anthony Moulder, who resides at 16271 Royal Road (Lot 4, Block 3, Northfork 'Oaks Third Addition) has applied for an Administrative Subdivision to acquire a portion of Lot 3, Block 3, Northfork Oaks Third Addition from his adjoining neighbor to the south. When the cement work for the applicant's driveway and garage pad were completed, the pad was in violation of the side yard setback for accessory structures. The Administrative Subdivision will enable the applicant to comply with the accessory structure side-yard setback as determined in City Code (Section 9.20.11). In conjunction with Administrative Subdivisions, a routine pi'ocedure is to vacate the standard drainage and utility easements on an existing common property line and dedicate replacement drainage and utility easements on what will be the new common property line. The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) Site location map Exhibit identifying Lots 3 & 4, Block 3, Northfork Oaks Third Addition (Parcels A & C respectively, on the Surveyor's Certificate) and the drainage and utility easements to be vacated Proposed resolution to approve proposed Registered Land Survey Proposed ordinance to vacate drainage and utility easements Notification: No notification is required for Administrative Subdivisions. In accordance with State Statue, property owners within 350 feet of the subject property were notified of the public hearing to consider vacating the existing drainage and utility easements on current common property lines. Observations: Administrative Subdivisions are approved at a City Staff level and are used for the conveyance of property between adjacent landowners. Generally, the instrument used to record the land conveyance approved by City Staff is a quit claim deed. However, in the case of Torrens property, the only instrument that can be used to record the conveyance is a Registered Land Survey. Registered Land Surveys require City Council approval. Therefore, it is necessary for the City Council to review and approve this Administrative Subdivision. Both Lots 3 and 4 will continue to maintain compliance with the minimum lot size for Northfork after the conveyance of the property. As part of the Administrative Subdivision, Staff is also taking the necessary steps to vacate the standard drainage and utility easements on the current common property line between the two neighbors. The City Engineer has verified that there are no drainage structures within the existing easements to be vacated. The applicant will be required to provide the City with replacement easements on the new common property line with his neighbor. -159-
