Absent: Commissioners Johnson and Sweet. <br /> <br />COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: <br /> <br />Request for a Sketch Plan Approval of McDonald 2nd Addition; Case of <br />Robert McDonald <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Community Development Assistant Wald stated that the City received an application from <br />Robert McDonald requesting sketch plan approval to create two new lots from an existing 38- <br />acre homestead and a 5-acre homestead located at 16641 Variolite Street and 16591 Variolite <br />Street. Mr. McDonald currently owns 38.22 acres and Mr. Makowsky owns 5.38-acres (for a <br />total of 43.60 acres) and they would like to subdivide their parcels to create two more lots that <br />will consist of 2.88 acres and 3 acres. The minor subdivision is in conformance with 4 units in <br />40 acres density restrictions. The newly created and existing lots meet the 200 feet of frontage <br />on a public road requirement. The subject property is located within the Rural Transition Area <br />and is subject to a minimum 2.5 acre lot size restriction; the newly created and existing lots meet <br />this requirement. Following previous and current practice to limit the number of accesses off of <br />Variolite Street, staff is recommending that the two newly created lots provide a shared access <br />onto Variolite Street. Staff is also recommending that the driveways for the newly created lots <br />be aligned on the lots to allow for future subdivision and ultimately access be derived from an <br />interior road and access be eliminated from Variolite Street. The plat is retaining a 66-foot <br />drainage and utility easement through the plat in an east/west direction. The easement is <br />intended to preserve a corridor for a future road that is designated in the comprehensive plan to <br />facilitate the future extension of 167* Avenue to Armstrong Blvd. City Staff recommends <br />approval of the sketch plan. <br /> <br />Community Development Assistant Wald noted the McDonalds could not be present at this <br />meeting, however Mr. Makowsky is present. He expressed he had no issues with the plans thus <br />far. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Reeve, to recommend that City <br />Council approve the sketch plan for McDonald 2nd Addition contingent upon compliance with <br />City Staff Review Letter dated August 31,2001. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Reeve, Kociscak, and Watson. <br />Voting No: None.
