His property is 27 acres in size and he is requesting approval of a metes and bounds subdivision to separate his homestead and 4 acres of land from the remainder of his property. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) Site location map Proposed subdivision Draft City Council meeting minutes dated June 8, 1999 Proposed findings of fact Observations: Mr. Danner desires to sell his home with 4 acres of land and retain the remaining 23 acres for possible furore development. The homestead parcel is subject to the regulations of the Scenic River Overlay District, for which the minimum lot size is 4 acres for riparian lots. The property is also in the Rural Transition area for which there is a 4 units in 40 acre density restriction. The subdivision proposed complies with the 4 in 40 density restriction and the 4 acre minimum lot size. Mr. Danner's property does not have direct access to a public road and access is currently and would continue to be provided to the existing home by a private easement across the 40 acre parcel between Mr. Danner's property and Erkium Street to the north. Mr. Danner has agreed that if this subdivision is approved, no other building permits would be issued on the subject property unless a public road is constructed to City standards into the property. On June 8, Council reviewed the history of subject property. In 1983, a variance was granted to a previous owner of the land for one home to be built on the property with no direct public access. This variance stipulated that no further subdivision would be permitted without complying with subdivision regulations, including that provision requiting each buildable parcel to have direct access to a public street. In 1988, Council denied the request by another property owner to divide the property into 3 buildable lots that would continue to be served by the private easement versus a public road. In 1989, Mr. Danner utilized the variance approved in 1983 and built his home on the property. On June 8, the City Council directed Staff to draft findings of fact relating to Mr. Danner's request.
