Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 02-12 <br />July 15, 2002 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />Existing Conditions <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 20.22 acre parcel into six single family lots. The <br />property is located on the east side of County Road 33 at the 207th Avenue alignment. The <br />property is zoned Rla (Single Family Residential) which has a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres. <br />The front of the property is open fallow fields, there is a wetland that bisects the property in <br />the middle and the rear of the property is wooded. There is an existing home on the <br />property that will be incorporated into one of the lots. The front of the property is flat and <br />the wooded area includes three hills. <br /> <br />Street Layout <br /> <br />Access into this plat will be from County Road 13 via a cul de sac (207th Avenue). The <br />proposed cul de sac is about 850 feet long, the subdivision ordinance limits the length of a <br />cul de sac to 700 feet unless it has been clearly shown that by unfavorable landform the 700 <br />foot maximum length can not be met. The 700 foot length can not be met because of the <br />wetland. A 700 foot long cul de sac would end in the wetland. The extra length is needed so <br />that the bubble of the cul de sac is behind the wetland. The right-of-way for the cul de sac <br />abuts the south boundary of the plat and is available to provide access to the property to the <br />south. <br /> <br />Lot Layout <br /> <br />Two lots are proposed along the length of the cul de sac and three lots are proposed on the <br />bubble. All of the lots comply with the dimensional and lot area requirements of the Rla <br />zoning district. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />The wetland Technical Evaluation panel (TEP) has reviewed this plat. Some wetland will be <br />filled to accommodate the road. Mitigation will be required per the TEP recommendation. <br /> <br />Grading, Drainage and Utilities <br /> <br />Grading, drainage and utilities are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission recommended cash to meet the park dedication <br />requirement. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Meeting <br /> <br />At the Planning Commission meeting held on June 25th, 5 residents spoke at the public <br />hearing. All 5 commented on the traffic on County Road 33. They felt that there was too <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Case Files\P 02-12 Birchview\P02-12CC.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
