Case #6 Request for Approval of Metes and Bounds Subdivision; Case of Ronald Danner Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Ron Danner resides at 17400 Erkium Street Northwest. His property is 27 acres in size and he is requesting approval of a metes and bounds subdivision to separated his homestead and four acres of land from the remainder of his property. Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that Mr. Danner desires to sell his home with four acres of land and retain the remaining 23 acres for possible future development. The homestead parcel is subject to the regulations of the Scenic River Overlay District, for which the minimum lot size is four acres for riparian lots. The property is also in the Rural Transition area for which there is a four units in 40 acre density restriction. The subdivision proposed complies with the four in forty density restriction and the four acre minimum lot size. City Code promotes division of property by platting, but also allow for metes and bounds subdivisions where there is a hardship. 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 home by a private easement across the 40 acre parcel between Mr. Danner's property and Erkium Street to the north. No matter what means is used to split the property, Mr. Danner was informed that no other building permits would be issued on the subject property unless a public road was constructed to City standards into the property. Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that on May 25, 1999, the City Council reviewed the request for a metes and bounds subdivision and tabled any action for additional information regarding: a) the private access easement; b) how the division of property with no public access relates to the procedure used for Pettersen Estates; c) what other subdivisions have been allowed without public access; d) a future development plan coordinated with the property to the north and the northwest. In addition, Staff sought input from Public Works Director/Fire ChiefKapler regarding emergency response concerns on a 2,200 foot private driveway. Zoning Administrator Frolik noted that City Attorney Goodrich has reviewed the private access easement across the 40 acre parcel between Mr. Danner's property and Erkium Street to the north. The easement is non-exclusive, which means that is runs with the land. If the lot splits occurs, Mr. Danner would have to provide the buyer of his home with an additional access easement to cross the 23 acres he is proposing to retain.
