Longfietd: We are in receipt of your final plat of Echo Ridge Second Addition of your iand located on 177a' Ave. consisting of one (1) sheet prepared by E.G. Rud and Sons, Inc. Staff offers the following comments: General: The final plat shows two lots being created out of a 10 acre parcel. The ex/sting homestead will be on a 7.9 acre parcel and a new lot of 2.08 acres is proposed to be created., The City Council granted you a variance to the 2.5 acre lot size requirement at their July 23, 2002 meeting. Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Residential and is located in the Rural Developing Area. Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The current minimum lot size in the R-1 Rural Developing District is 2.5 acres. The City Council granted you a variance to the 2.5 acre lot size requirement at their July 23, 2002 meeting. The two lots being created are 2.08 acres and 7.9 acres in size. Both lots meet the minimum lot width requirements as defined in City Ordinances. Drainage: No grading plan is being requested for this plat. If approved, one additional' residence will have minimal impact on the existing drainage. However, it is understood that future property owners must take the full responsibility in ensuring that there is adequate drainage away from the structures. Streets. City Ordinances require that the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of existing and future streets into adjoining areas. The proposed m/nor subdivision does not show the continuation of the existing 177m Ave. right-of-way to the eastern border of your property. We have had several meetings to discuss the matter and from those discussions, staff is proposing that no fight-of~way be dedicated at this time. However, language has been inserted imo the development agreement that will require the owner of Lot 2, Block 1 to dedicate the right-of-way at the time that lot is resubdivided or an alternative solution to providing a connection to the east is agreed upon. Since there is no need for the City to own and maintain a fight-of-way corridor until lots are created that will need the access, staff I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
