We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The proposed plat is a minor subdivision that proposes to create two new lots, one 2.5 <br />acre parcel and one 3.0 acre parcel from two existing homesteads consisting of a 5.38 acre parcel <br />and a 38.22 acre parcel (total area is 43.60 acres). <br /> <br />Zoning: The property is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is located in the Rural Transition Area. <br />A final plat showing 4 lots in 43 acres is in compliance with the 4 units in 40 acres density <br />restriction. The Development Agreement restricts any further resubdivision of McDonald Second <br />Addition until such time as 4 in 40 density zoning is reduced or repealed, or city sewer and water <br />is available to the property. <br /> <br />Resubdivision Plan: Section 9.20.1 t (R-1 Rural Residential District) states that the subdivider of <br />property in the Rural Transition Area must file a sketch plan with the. City illustrating the <br />reasonable ultimate resubdivision of the plat to urban densities. Staff received a resubdivision <br />plan dated August 30, 2001 prepared by Oliver & Associates Inc. The resubdivison plan seems to <br />provide a reasonable subdivision plan in the event that sewer and water were ever to be available <br />in the area. <br /> <br />Easements: The standard 5 foot/10 foot drainage and utility easements have been provided <br />around the perimeter of each lot. In addition, all wetlands on the plat are shown as drainage and <br />utility easements as required by the City. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes' The current minimum lot size in the Rural Transition Area is 2.5 acres; the two new <br />lots are proposed to be 2.5 acres and 3.0 acres in size. The two existing homesteads consist of a <br />total of 43.60 acres. <br /> <br />Lot Di~nensions: The two new lots contain more than 200 feet of frontage on a public road. <br /> <br />-240- <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> <br /> <br />
