Assistant community Development Director Trudgeon replied that the height restriction is <br />something that can be changed at anytime in the future. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon staff will put together some <br />recommended changes and bring them back to a future work session. <br /> <br />~ 3) 160th/Olivine Proposed Development <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated that Greg Bauer is proposing to <br />construct a single-family house on the property he owns at 160th Lane. As part of the proposal, <br />Mr. Bauer would like to utilize part of the property located at the corner of Olivine Street and <br />161st Lane. This property currently has a single-family residence on it (7210 - 161st Lane) that <br />Mr. Bauer owns. In order for Mr. Bauer to do what he wants to do, approval of a minor <br />subdivision and three variances are needed. One variance is to the minimum lot size, one to have <br />less than 200 feet of lot width at the street, and one for allowing a private drive in the 160th Lane <br />right-of-way. This property recently.received an administrative subdivision between Mr. Bauer <br />and the Gun Club. The administrative subdivision swapped land on each side of the ditch that <br />ran through their properties. The minor subdivision is necessary for the lot lines to be <br />reconfigured to create two lots. The lot with the existing house (7210 - 161st Lane) is being <br />proposed to be about one acre in size. The current minimum lot size in this area is 2.5 acres. <br />The remaining acreage from 7210 - 161st Lane would go towards Mr. Bauer's new lot. The new <br />buildable lot, where Mr. Bauer would like to build a new home for his family, will have access <br />from 160t" Lane. Currently, the right-of-way extends to the boundary of Mr. Bauer's property, <br />but is not constructed. The built road stops about 350 feet from Mr. Bauer's property. Mr. Bauer <br />would like to construct a driveway within the right of way, and not a road to access his property. <br />Since the lot has only 66 feet of right of way, a variance will be needed since code requires rural <br />lots have 200 feet of road frontage. City staff has reviewed the proposal and has raised concerns <br />regarding constructing a driveway in the 160th Lane right of way and the reduced lot size for <br />7210 161st Lane. It was noted that as part of the minor subdivision process, a future subdivision <br />plan would be required. If the land is subdivided in the future as urban lots, staff's reservations <br />will no longer be valid since a new road will need to be constructed through the property and the <br />7210 161 st Lane house would presumably be served by City services. However, there presently <br />are no plans to run sewer and water through this property. <br /> <br />Greg Bauer reviewed the proposed ghost plans for the property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak questioned if it would be possible to have the driveway go through the <br />pasture area. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer explained that he would have to remove about 150 oak trees to get a driveway through <br />the pasture. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired as to why they could not extend the lot for the existing single <br />family home back enough to create a 1.5 acre lot. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session/July 29, 2003 <br /> Page 7 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
