Their property is located at 6500 Green <br />Valley. Road and the existing residence is on. the .north side of Trot-t. Brook. Their plan is <br />subdivide their prpperty and build their new home on the south side of Trott Brook. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed sketch plan <br />City StaffReview Letter dated March 5, 2004 <br /> <br />Notification:' <br /> <br />No public hearing is required at the sketch plan stage of a plat. However, City Council recently <br />adopted a policy requiring notification of a proposed subdivision be sent out to residents within <br />350 feet of. the subject property during sketch plan submittal. Staff attempted to notify property <br />owners within 350 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />-Observations: <br /> <br />The subject property is approximately 21.5 acres in size and is located in the R-1 Rural <br />Developing Res!sfe~3tial District. The minimum lot size in this distidct is 2.5 acres, The sketch <br />plan is proposing to plat two rural residential lots: 1'-2.5 acre lot for the existing homestead and <br />1-19 acre lot for the applicant's new homel. Both lots meet the minimum area standards for the <br />district. The existing lot and the new lot created' are and will be served with on~site well and <br />septic. <br /> <br />City, Code states that all lots in the rural area must have 200 feet. of frontage on a publicly <br />dedicated road. The proposed Lot I (existing homestead) has 198.4 feet-of frontage on Green <br />Valley Road. This does not comply with City Code, however it is an existing lawful non- <br />conforming condition. Lot 2 (new tot for development) is proposed to receive public access from <br />the westerly terminus of 174~h Avenue N.W., which technically means that the lot has 66 feet of <br />frontage on a public road. The applicants are reluctant to construct a public road to City <br />standards to service one building sit~. They have applied for a variance to the road frontage <br />requirements in order to subdivide the property. <br /> <br />The plat will be reviewed by the Park Commission at their regular'meetihg in April. <br /> <br /> <br />
