The plat is approximately 43 acres in size. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map b) Final Plat c) Future subdivision plan d) Planning Commission minutes dated September 10, 2001 e) City Council minutes dated October 9, 2001 f) City Council minutes dated January 22, 2202 g) Letter from Mr. McDonald and Mr. Makowsky h) City Staff review letter dated September 20, 2001, Revised February 8, 2002 i) Proposed Development Agreement j) Proposed Resolution for final plat approval Notification: The plat is a minor subdivision and is not subjected to a public hearing. Observations: Mr. McDonald currently owns 38.22 acres and Mr. Makowsky owns 5.38-acres (for a total of 43.60 acres) and they would like to replat their parcels to create two more lots that will consist of 2.5 acres and 3 acres each. The City Council approved the 2001 Comprehensive Plan on December 18, 2001 and it includes abolishing-the 4 units in'40 acres density restriction in the rural area. However, City Code has not yet been updated to remove this density restriction and therefore this plat is still subject to that requirement. The plat complies with 4 units in 40 acres restriction and upon completion of the Chapter 9 rewrite, the property will be eligible to resubdivide to a density of i unit per 2.5 acres. The newly created and existing lots meet the 200 feet~ of frontage on a public road requirement. All of the lots meet the 2.5 acre minimum lot size requirement. The standard drainage and utility easements are provided along the perimeter of each of the lots. In 1992 when Mr. McDonald subdivided his land into the existing two homesteads, staff made a recommendation for a shared access onto Variolite Street. Following previous and current practice to limit the number of accesses onto Variolite Street, staff is recommending that the two newly created lots also share an access onto Variolite Street. Staff is also recommending that the driveways for the newly created lots be aligned on the lots in a manner that will allow for future subdivision, and ultimately accesses onto Variolite can be eliminated and converted to an interior road. -251-
