CASE REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF WILDLIFE SANCTUARY ADDITION; CASE OF KELSEY GUSTAFSON By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Kelsey Gustafson is requesting sketch plan approval to subdivide 40 acres in the urban residential &is'tr_ict into 3 si¢gle family lots. Two of the lots will accommodate existing homesteads for Kelsey's grandmother and father and the third lot will facilitate Kelsey's new home. The property is located on the ~vest side of T.H. #47 at about 155th and 156th Avenues. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) Site k)cation map Preliminary or Sketch Plan City Staff review letter dated October 9, 1996 Observations: The property is zoned R.-1 Urban Residential and is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. The minimum lot size without City sewer and water in this District is 1 acre. Lot 1 is proposed at 29 acres, Lot 2 at 7 acres and Lot 3 at 2 acres. The minimum lot width without sewer a:ed water is 200 feet. The 40 acre parcel has less than 600 feet of frontage on T.H. #47 to accommodate th~ 3 homesteads. Because the plat will remedy a current landlocked homestead in '~le center of ther40, and because 3 lots from 40 acres is not an unreasonable request, Staff is xerzommending doviating from the 200 foot frontage requirement on Lot 2. A rcsubdivision plan has been submitted to verify that there is a workable plan to resubdivide the property in the fl~ture to its ultimate urban density based on the locations of the two existing h,).~:.aesteads and '.the one proposed homestead. The access onto T.H. #47 proposed for the res'~bdivision is COnsistent with the T.H. #47 Corridor Study. A wetland delineation will have to be provided and all wetlands should be dedicated as drainage and utility easements on the final plat. The standard drainage and utility easements have been provided around the perimeter of each of the lots. The Park Commission will review the plat on October 10 and it is anticipated that they will recommend that a cash contribution satisfy park dedication requriements on the new lot created. 7.,,r)t 2 will also be Subject to the newly implemented Transportation Impact Fee. Recommendation: City Staff recommends sketch plan approval.. Commission Action: Motion to: Recommend that City Council approve/deny the final plat for Wildlife Sanctuary Addition contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated October 9, 1996.
