7210 161st Ln NW <br />This property also consists of two (2) parcels in the Trappers Ridge subdivision (16-32-25-41-0006/Lot 2 & <br />16-32-25-14-0019/Lot 2A) and totals approximately 2.34 acres. Minimum lot size in the R-1 Residential (Rural <br />Developing) is 2.5 acres. The property is classified as lawful, non -conforming in terms of lot size. <br />If the proposed plat were to be approved, this parcel size would be increased to 8.22 acres, would contain one <br />dwelling and would now include the existing detached accessory structures. The existing lawful, non -conforming <br />classification would be removed. <br />Outlot A <br />The proposed Plat would result in the creation of an Outlot, which would then be combined with an existing Outlot <br />of Sweetbay Ridge. The proposed property boundary of the outlot would follow an existing drainage ditch, and <br />existing physical separation of the existing parcel. The purpose of combining the outlot is to avoid the creation of a <br />land -locked parcel. <br />Observations <br />While appearing to be somewhat simplistic in nature, the request does have some complex issues and concerns <br />raised by adjacent Property Owners. <br />First, a small number of individuals have raised concern that the request is setting up future development of the <br />proposed outlot. While it is always a possibility to further subdivide an outlot, this outlot is encumbered almost <br />exclusively by wetlands. There is not sufficient net developable area to provide for the creation of additional <br />developable lots, unless wetland mitigation is introduced. This wetland complex serves as a major drainage pattern <br />for the area. <br />Secondly, one adjacent Property Owner raised concern that 161st Lane adjacent to 7210 161st Lane would be <br />connected to 161st Avenue in Sweetbay Ridge. The Property Owner was concerned with the additional traffic that <br />would be generated in this neighborhood by said connection. It is important to note that this is not being proposed at <br />this time, and would also require significant wetland mitigation. While the potential exists for future discussions <br />about this connection, it is not proposed at this time and cannot be used as a factor to deny the current request for <br />subdivision. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the Variance to minimum road frontage and to direct the Applicant to prepare a Final <br />Plat for City Council consideration. <br />Action: <br />Action #1 <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #14-06-102 approving a Findings of Fact Related to a Request for a Variance to <br />Minimum Road Frontage. <br />Action #2 <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #14-06-103 approving a Variance to Minimum Road Frontage. <br />Action #3 <br />
