Absent: Mayor Gamec. <br /> <br />Case #12: <br /> <br />Request for Final Plat Approval of Falconer's Ridge Second Addition; Case <br />of Eliot Schaeffer <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon explained Eliot Schaeffer platted this property in <br />2004. His property extends north and south of Trott Brook and he completed a minor <br />subdivision to separate the homestead on the north side of the brook from the property on the <br />south side of the brook. The purpose of the subdivision was to create a buildable lot on the south <br />side of the brook ~for Mr. Schaeffer's new home. The property on the south side of the brook is <br />19 acres in size. For financial and estate planning reasons, Mr. Schaeffer is replatting the parcel <br />south of the brook to reduce the size of the lot on which the home will be constructed and plat the <br />remainder of the 19 acres as an outlot for future development. He .explained the subject prop.erty <br />is approximately 19 acres in size and is located in the R-1 Rural DeveloPing Residential District <br />and is subject to the requirements of the new cluster ordinance. The minimum lotsize is 10,800 <br />square feet and the maximum lot size is 32.654 square feet. The proposed lot size is 32,641 <br />square feet. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon advised "Trott Brook is classified as a General <br />Development Stream and is subject to shoreland regulations. There are no extra-ordinary lot size <br />requirements in this overlay district, however, the minimum lot width at the brook is 100 feet <br />with sewer and water and 75 feet without sewer and water. Since the cluster ordinance is <br />premised on the assumption that the rural developing property will eventually be served by <br />municipal services, staff is applying the 75-foot urban lot width at the property line. The lot <br />configuration meets this requirement. He explained during the platting process in 2004, the <br />Board of Adjustment granted Mr. Schaeffer a variance to the street frontage requirements so that <br />one home may be constructed on the property without the need to extend 174th Avenue into the <br />property. Access will continue to be from 174th Avenue NW and the terms of the variance will <br />be u?held. It is noted that a drainage and utility easement is being dedicated on the final plat to <br />protect the future right-of-way corridor for the extension of 174th Avenue NW to the extent of <br />Lot l, the buildable portion of the plat. ' <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon explained the Cluster Ordinance requires a future <br />urban development plan, which may be waived by Council if only one lot is being platted. Staff <br />is recommending waiving the re-subdivision plan requirement as one was provided during the <br />platting process in 2004. The new cluster ordinance states that all future streets, parks, trails, and <br />utility easements should be platted as outlots, and that this requirement may also be waived if <br />only one lot is being platted. Staff recommends waiving this requirement. The park dedication, <br />trail fees and stormwater management fees were addressed with the plat process in 2004. No <br />new lot is being created with this replat and no :additional fees are due to the City. He advised on <br />April 7, 2005, the Planning Commission determined that the sketch plan was acceptable. Staff <br />recommends final plat approval. <br /> <br />City Council/May 24, 2005 <br />Page 15 of 26 <br /> <br />P45 <br /> <br /> <br />
