The Subject Property is zoned R- <br /> 1 Residential (Rural Developing) and the subject lots would be serviced by private well and <br /> septic services. Staff discussed the request in detail with the Commission and recommended <br /> approval of the Variance and Preliminary Plat. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Vice Chairperson VanScoy asked if 169th was put in this neighborhood to be a through street to <br /> Tiger Street. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated this was an interesting scenario as there was a sliver of land <br /> remaining that was still needed in order to complete the through street. He explained there was <br /> no dedicated easement or right-of-way over the unplatted sliver of land. He indicated this issue <br /> has been discussed with the developer and he was aware of this concern. He reported the <br /> adjacent property owner would be contacted to have a discussion with City staff <br /> Eric Thomsen, 6210 Green Valley Road, thanked the Commission for their consideration. He <br /> stated if a cul-de-sac were added, he would need another variance for lot sizes. While he was <br /> sympathetic to the through street situation,he stated this was a prior situation created by City. <br /> Planning Commission/February 1, 2018 <br /> Page 3 of 14 <br />
