The <br />sketch plan consists of 1 sheet prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates dated January 28, <br />2004. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The sketch plan consists of 1 unplatted parcel and2 outlots totaling approximately <br />21.46 acres that are proposed to be platted into two residential lots: one for the existing <br />homestead and one new lot to contain one additional home. The subject property is located at <br />6200 Green Valley Road and extends south of Trott Brook. <br /> <br />2. Zoning: The property is located outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and <br /> is currently zoned R- i Residential - Rural Developing. <br /> <br />Densi~ and Lot Size: The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low-density single <br />family residential development with a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. The proposed plat <br />indicates two lots: one lot for the existing homestead will be 2.5 acres in size and the new <br />buildable lot created will be approximately 19 acres in size <br /> <br />Access and Streets: Subdivision regulations in Section 9.50.03 of City Code require that <br />each lot contain the minimum lot width (i.e., street frontage) for the respective zoning <br />district, which in this case is 200 feet. Additionally, Section 9.11.01 states that no lot may <br />contain a dwelling unless the lot meets the minimum lot width or street frontage requirement. <br /> <br />Parcel A, the existing homestead, has 198.4 feet of frontage on Green Valley Road. This is <br />1.6 ~'eet deficient of the 200 foot minimum. However, this is a pre-existing lawful non- <br />contbrming situation; there aren't any options to bring this fi'ontage into compliance with <br />City Code with this platting; and consequently a variance has been applied ~'or to <br />acknowledge the deviation and that the lot remains to be a legal parcel for a dwelling. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
