REQUEST FOR <br /> <br /> CASE # ~ <br />FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF SHARON LEE ADDITION; CASE <br /> OF SHARON WAGNER <br /> By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Sharon Wagner is requesting final plat approval of a minor subdivision to be named Sharon Lee <br />Addition. The subdivision is a replat of Lot 1, Block 6, Riverside West, into two lots. The <br />subdivision is precipitated by the availability of sanitary sewer and municipal water resulting from <br />the Rivenwick development. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br /> <br />e) <br />f) <br />g) <br />h) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed final plat <br />Policy for assisting with sewer and water charges dated 9/22/92 <br />Memo dated May I0, 1993 from City Engineer Jankowsld to Finance Officer <br />Helling <br />Letter dated May 1 i, 1993 from City Engineer to Sharon Wagner <br />City Staff review letter dated July 21, 1993 <br />Proposed resolution <br />Proposed development agreement <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Both of the lots in the proposed plat exceed the minimum area and width requirement for riparian <br />lots in the Critical River District <br /> <br />The new lot created will also receive access from 137th Avenue N.W. As you will note, 137th <br />was formerly platted as a cut-de-sac, but is now a through street into Rivenwick. It was originally <br />staffs recommendation that the eyebrow of the cul-de-sac be vacated and the costs incurred be <br />charged to the platting escrow for Sharon Lee Addition. Ms. Wagner has declined to pay the costs <br />to vacate the cul-de-sac eyebrow and the Planning Commission supports her position. It seems <br />that when Rivenwick received final plat approval, the Planning Commission recommended that <br />Rivenwick pay the costs to vacate the cul-de-sac eyebrows on 137th. As Rivenwick finally <br />evolved, this recommendation of the Planning Commission was not brought to the attention of City <br />Council and therefore not included in the development agreement. The City Enginner indicates that <br />there are numerous similar situations throughout the City and in his opinion, the City should <br />initiate and pay for the elimination of unnecessary easements with one action. As for Sharon Lee <br />Addition, the development agreement and plat are going forward with the cul-de-sac easement in <br />tact. <br /> <br />The City has a policy whereby lateral and mink water and sewer charges are waived for property <br />owners who had no conn-ol over the situation of city sewer and water becoming available to them. <br />However, if the property subdivides it is assumed it is' done for profit because of the sewer and <br />water availability and consequently the property owner mustpay the lateral and mink charges that <br />normally would have been assessed. Because Ms. Wagner is subdividing, she will have to pay the <br />lateral and mink benefits for both the lots. (Refer to enclosed letter dated May Ii, 1993 from City <br />Engineer Jankowski to Sharon Wagner). Ms. Wagner indicates that she is willing to pay the sewer <br />and water assessment on the new lot created, but she feels very strongly that the existing lot should <br />be entitled to a perpetual exemption. The development agreement has been drafted in accordance <br />with City policy and Ms. Wagner will receive a trunk and lateral sewer and water assessments. <br /> <br /> <br />
