Agenda - Planning Commission - 04/04/2019

Home

• Reasonableness: Splitting the lot to create one new, buildable lot does seem reasonable, especially when considering the majority of the surrounding residential parcels are smaller in size than either resulting lot. Furthermore, just to the east and adjacent to the golf course are six (6), two (2) unit townhome buildings. • Uniqueness: The Subject Property abut public roads on three (3) sides, including a Trunk Highway with greater right-of-way needs than a typical residential street. It is rather uncommon for a lot to have frontage along three (3) different public roads, something that was not caused by the property owner. • Essential Character: When reviewing the lot sizes of the surrounding residential parcels, both proposed lots will be larger than the most in the neighborhood, with the exception of the parcel directly to the north. However, the existing home and detached accessory buildings would be on the northern lot and thus, there really would be no change with respect to this adjoining property. Alternatives Alternative 1: Motion to Adopt Resolution #19-075 granting a variance to minimum lot size and recommend City Council adopt Resolution #19-076 granting approval of the Final Plat of Hauck Addition. The proposed Minor Plat would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood and seems reasonable based on the size of the surrounding residential properties. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2: Deny the variance request and recommend denial of the Final Plat. The Planning Commission reviewed a conceptual lot split in May of 2018 and at that time, informed the property owner that the variance seemed reasonable and recommended moving forward with a formal application. There do not appear to be any significant concerns that would warrant denying this request and thus, Staff does not support Alternative 2. Funding Source: The Applicant is responsible for all costs related to this request. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolutions # 19-075 and # 19-076 granting a variance to lot size and approving the Final Plat for Hauck Addition. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution # 19-075 granting a variance to minimum lot size and recommend City Council adopt Resolution # 19-076 granting Final Plat approval for Hauck Addition.
