CU 96-12, UNTIL FURTHER INFORMATION IS PROVIDED REGARDING ACCESS, LANDSCAPING, AND GRADING. COMMISSIONER KUESTER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. . staff report by Scott Harlicker. Bridgeland Development Company is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 80 acres located west of Filmore Street at the 1 78th Street alignment, into 24 single family residential lots. 15 lots are included in the Shoreline Management zone and will require a 200 foot lot width. The lots range in size from 2,51 acres to 4.84 acres. Lots 1, 13 and 24 are impacted by a 150 ft. UPA power line easement. Lot 24 will need to be widened to allow adequate buildable area. A letter has been received from UPA stating it is acceptable for homes to be built in close proximity to the transmission line easement, as well as allowing septic systems within the easement. There is an existing home on what will be lot 22 and the structure on Lot 9 will be incorporated as part of the house which will be built on the lot.
