Memo to the Mayor and City Council/P96-15 February 18, 1997 Page 3 to be gravel and not paved. Another concern expressed was that the proposed 2 1/2 acre lots were to small, they did not reflect the rural character of the area. The adjacent property owners to the south voiced concern about snow removal and the impact on their driveway; the driveway is parallel to the proposed road. The comment was also made that this project was premature and should wait until the property to the east is developed. The Planning Commission and the applicant also discussed other possible layouts for the road. The possibility of locating the road along the north property line was explored. However, this alignment would have required the cooperation of the property owner to the north, because in order to line the streets up properly, the proposed road would have had to be located on part of their property. A garage and a pole barn would also have had to be moved in order to accommodate the necessary right-of-way and setbacks. The applicant also contacted the property owners to the south to see if they wanted to incorporate the existing gravel driveway into the road and then have access off of the proposed road; the adjacent property owners did not express interest in that option. Recommendation The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council approve the preliminary plat request for W.J.C. Development Corporation to subdivide 9.64 acres into 3 single family lots with the following conditions: A DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT BE PREPARED OUTLINING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAT APPROVAL AND INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
