Their property is located at 6200 Green Valley Road <br />and the existing residence is on the north side of Trott Brook. The applicants would like to <br />subdivide their property and build a 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 />d) <br />e) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed final plat <br />City Staff Review Letter dated August 20, 2004 <br />Final Plat Resolution <br />Development Agreement <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />Notification was sent out as part of the sketch plan. <br /> <br />Obse~wations: <br /> <br />The subject property is approximately 21.5 acres in size and is located in the R-1 Rural <br />Developing Residential District. The minimum lot size in this district is 2.5 acres. The final plat <br />is proposing to subdivide two rural residential lots: 1-2.5 acre lot for the existing homestead and <br />l-19 acre lot for the applicant's new home. Both lots meet the. minimum area standards for the <br />district. The final plat will also include an outlot and the dedication of a City park. The ex!sting <br />lot and the new lot created are and will be served with on-site well and 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 1, Block 1 (existing homestead) has 198.4 feet of frontage on <br />Green Valley Road. This does not comply with City Code, however it is an existing lawful non- <br />cont-brming condition. Lot 1, Block 2 (new lot for development) is proposed to receive public <br />access f?om the westerly terminus of 174th Avenue N.W., which technically means that the lot <br />has 66/'bet of fi'outage on'a public road. The applicants are reluctant to construct a public road to <br />City standards to service one building site. They properly applied for a variance to lot <br />width/street fkontage requirements, which the Board of Adjustment approved on March 11, 2004. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission reviewed and approved the sketqh plan at their March 11, 2004 <br />meeting contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter and the applicant working <br /> <br /> <br />
