The sketch plan was prepared by Hakanson <br />Anderson. We offer the following comments: <br /> <br />General: The sketch plan is proposing to replat an existing parcel legally described as Lot I, <br />Block 1 of Auditor's Subdvision No. 31 and a small parcel of abstract land currently described as <br />Lot 3, Block 1, Auditor's Subdivision No. 30, Tract A. The proposed legal descriptions are Lot I, <br />Block 1 and Lot lA, Ebony Addition. <br /> <br />Zoning: The site is currently zoned E-2 Employment. Office and warehousing activities are <br />allowed in this district. <br /> <br />Lot Sizes and Dimensions: The newly created lot will be approximately 4.2 acres in size, and <br />will include the platting of Right-of-Way for both the extension of Ebony Street to the Railroad <br />Right-of-Way and the extension of McKinley Street throughout the property fi'ontage. The lot <br />conforms to all standards for lot size. The minimum lot width as measured at building setback is <br />200 feet, and the site plan conforms to this standard. <br /> <br />Streets: As part of the plat, a 66 foot wide Right-of-Way is proposed to be dedicated for the <br />future construction of Ebony Street along the east side of the plat. Also, McKinley Street is being <br />platted as part of this subdivision. Since McKinley Street is identified as a collector street in the <br />city's comprehensive plan, this right of way width should be increased to 80 feet. These streets <br />will be constructed using Tax Increment Financing allotted from the district. All streets must be <br />constructed to City Standards. <br /> <br />Utilities: This lot will be serviced by municipal sewer and water services. A utility plan will be <br />required at preliminary plat. Watermain should be extended along Ebony Street when the street is <br />installed to complete looping of the watermain system. <br /> <br />83 <br /> <br /> <br />
