Case #4: Request to Rezone Certain Properties From R-1 Rural Residential to R-1 Urban Residential; Case of Dave and Betty Pehlke Community Development Director Frolik stated that David and Betty Pehlke are requesting to plat four metes and bounds parcels into two, single-family urban residential lots, and an existing homestead served with private well and septic system. The properties are within the MUSA, but are currently zoned R-1 Rural Residential. In order to plat urban lots, the property must be zoned R-1 Urban Residential. City Administrator Norman stated that the City Council reviewed the rezoning request on January 23, 2001. The Council referred the case to the Public Works Committee in order to resolve a storm drainage easement issue that would cross the Pehlke property. During the Public Works Committee, staff proposed a more comprehensive approach to the storm drainage issues in the neighborhood as well as other infrastructure issues that would be affected by future development. Staff worked closely with the Pehlkes and determined that more discussion would be necessary prior to resolving all the issues in the neighborhood, however, it was further agreed that the rezoning and plat process should proceed. The Pehlkes have agreed to sign a Letter of Understanding, which states that the Pehlkes will continue to negotiate with the City to allow a water drainage easement on their property. Councilmember Kurak stated that when other people subdivide their property there is a plan that has to be submitted showing future roads and it appeared as if 152"d could run on the northern part of the Pehlke property. She inquired if there would be future discussion regarding that roadway. City Administrator Norman replied yes, but since the Pehlkes are willing to work with the City they did not want to hold back the building of the house. Councilmember Kurak stated that she wanted to make sure that the issue is addressed. Councilmember Anderson stated that the Letter of Understanding is unclear of what is being offered. City Attorney Goodrich replied that the Letter of Understanding would only be signed by the Pehlkes and not something that the City would be committing to. City Council/April 24, 2001 Page 15 of 27
