We 'offer the following comments: General: The proposed plat is a minor subdivision that proposes to create two new lots that are 2.5 acres in size from an existing single-family homestead. Zoning: The property is zoned R-I Single Family Residential and is located in the Rural Developing Area. Re-subdivision Plan: City Code requires rural subdivisions to submit a re-subdivision plan for City review. The re-subdivision plan should provide a general idea of how the property can be re- subdivided in the event City services become available to the site. The re-subdivision plan needs to be submitted to staff prior to City Council review of the Final Plat. Lot Sizes: The current minimum lot size in the Rural Developing Area is 2.5 acres. The two newly created tots are. 2.5 acres in size and the existing homestead will be 4.67 acres in size. The proposed lot sizes comply with City Code requirements. Lot Dimensions: The two new lots contain more than 200 feet of frontage on a public street. Drainage: Drainage 6f the area to be platted is generally to the west with moderate slopes. A high point exists along the common line between Lots 1 and 3 about 100 feet west of Jaspar Street. Apparent wetlands exist on the western edge of Lot 2 and the southwest corner of Lot 3. No ,grading plan has been prepared for this plat. individual lots will be responsible to ensure positive drainage for any future structures constructed. The wetland needs to be delineated and vex/fled by the Lower Rum Pdver Water Management Organization. This must be completed prior to the City Council reviewing the final plat.
