CASE #: t~ <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF NORDVIK ADDITION; <br />CASE OF DEREK NORDVIK <br /> By: Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Mr. Derek Nordvik has submitted a subdivision application to split his 5.4 acre homestead into <br />two lots. He intends to build a home for his mother on the new lot created. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Proposed Sketch Plan or Preliminary Plat <br />Proposed Resubdivision Plan <br />Minutes of the December 5, 2000 Board of Adjustment Meeting. <br />City staff review letter dated March 27, 2001. <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />City Code does not require a public hearing for minor subdivisions. However, the adjacent <br />property owners are aware of Mr. Nordvik's plan because of the public hearing that was <br />conducted relating to the variance to 4 units in 40 acres density restriction. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The minor subdivision will create two new lots from one existing lot. There is a house on the <br />southern part of the existing lot. After the platting, the existing house will be located on Lot 1, <br />Block 1 of the new plat. Lot 2, Block 1 would be a new buildable lot. The existing residence <br />has on site sewer and water systems. The new lot will also be served with private on-site sewer <br />and water systems. <br /> <br />Lot 2 will meet the 2.5 acre minimum lot size requirement. The southerly 37.5 feet of Lot 1 is <br />proposed to be dedicated for trail corridor purposes. Therefore, Lot 1 is approximately 2.2 acres <br />in size. City Code allows for remnants meeting 75% of the lot size requirement to be platted as <br />additional lots. Also, road right-of-way can be used to meet minimum lot area requirements <br />when platting. The City Attorney has determined that trail corridors are transportational in <br />nature and may also be used to meet minimum lot sizes. Therefore, Lot 1 at 2.2 acres is <br />acceptable. <br /> <br />The property is in the Rural Transition Area for which there is a density restriction of 4 units in <br />40 acres. The lot split does not comply with 4 in 40. On December 5, 2000, the Board of <br />Adjustment granted a variance to the 4 in 40 rule to facilitate the lot split. <br /> <br /> <br />
