PP, North Meadows Addition Page 4 <br /> May 20, 1993 <br /> • only 9 . 3 acres . She considers this as the rationale <br /> for hardship and also the reason her request meets <br /> the standard that the variance is not a consequence <br /> of her own actions or inactions . <br /> 2 . The 2 . 5 acre minimum lot size could be met on all but <br /> one lot, but it would mean altering the road location <br /> to a less desirable alignment. <br /> The Mickelson' s are proposing to construct the road without <br /> requesting payments (assessments) from other properties <br /> currently using the road. Staff feels that the elimination of <br /> this portion of this private road is a definite improvement and <br /> recommends approval of the variance contingent upon the plat <br /> being approved. <br /> DEVELOPMENT PLAN <br /> Soil borings have been provided as well as house locations with <br /> proposed garage floor elevations . The soil boring locations, <br /> as well as the findings, can be noted on the preliminary plat. <br /> Staff is concerned with lowest floor elevations, since some of <br /> the soil borings indicate water table near the surface of the <br /> lots . Staff is especially concerned with lots 1 and 2, Block <br /> 1 . Staff is recommending the developer provide proposed lowest <br /> • floor elevations for all the lots in the plat prior to final <br /> platting. <br /> PARK DEDICATION <br /> The plat of North Meadows is a rearrangement of two existing <br /> parcels, therefore, only 6 new parcels are being created. The <br /> Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this plat and <br /> recommended that the City receive park dedication in the form <br /> of cash for the 6 new lots . At $400 . 00 per lot, the total is <br /> $2 ,400 for park dedication. <br /> TREE PROTECTION <br /> No oaks are near the area where the road is proposed. However, <br /> there are oaks on the south side of the plat that houses could <br /> be built among. Staff is recommending tree protection <br /> requirements . <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the plat of North Meadows <br /> with the following stipulations : <br /> 1 . THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERS WHETHER OR NOT <br /> • RIGHT-OF-WAY SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO THE WEST BOUNDARY <br /> OF THE PLAT. <br />
