I I I I I Case//3: Request to Vacate Drainage and Utility Easement; Case of Paul and Lois Bach Community Development Director Frolik explained that on January 11, 2000, the City Council introduced an ordinance to vacate the drainage and utility easement on the former common property line of the Bach parcel at 16801 Radium Street N.W. and the Karst parcel at 16747 Radium Street N.W. The Bachs are replacing the drainage and utility easement along the new common property line between the two lots. She provided a copy of the revised ordinance which corrected the legal description and advised that the Bachs will provide the City with a corrected quit claim deed. City Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance to vacate the drainage and utility easement on the former common property line. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Connolly, to adopt Ordinance #00-XXX to vacate a portion of the drainage and utility easement on Lots 6 and 7, Block 4, Klemish Addition. A roll call vote was performed by the recording secretary: Councilmember Anderson aye Councilmember Connolly aye Councilmember Hendriksen aye Mayor Pro tem Zimmerman aye Mayor Gamec absent Motion carried. Case #4: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for .Two Dwellings on One Parcel; Case of Donald Kveton Community Development Director Frolik explained that City Code states that there shall not be more than one main building on a lot unless otherwise provided for in City Code. Mr. Kveton has a dwelling at 5750 177~ Avenue N.W. (Lot 3, Echo Ridge) and is requesting a conditional use permit to maintain a second dwelling (carriage house) on the property to provide separate living quarters from his own for the caretakers of his hobby farm. She noted the documentation contained within the Council's meeting packet. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 4, 2000. The neighboring property owner to the west spoke in opposition to the request. One area of concern was that the hobby farm is located at the terminus of a dead-end street, which is appropriately signed but the radius of the turn-around is very tight. Community Development Director Frolik explained that subsequent to the Planning Commission, staff reviewed the Echo Ridge development agreement which indicates the developer was to plat each lot with 200 feet of frontage; there is a deficiency of 100 feet on the Kveton lot. She stated that, in her opinion, extending the road another 100 feet will not solve the problem and recommended the cul-de-sac be enlarged to accommodate easier vehicle turnaround.
