Bruce Anderson Administrative Subdivision Page 2 March 20, 1995 -------------------- • ANALYSIS Currently, there sixty (60) foot easement for roadway on each side of the centerline. The total easement for right-of way would be one-hundred twenty (120) feet. The County Engineer's have been contacted in regard to this proposed administrative subdivision and are not requiring additional easement for right-of--way for roadway. Parcel A contains an existing house and existing accessory structures. One of the accessory structures is within the side yard setback area. The structure is approximately nine (9) feet from the side yard property line and the current code requires a twenty (20) foot setback from the side yard property line. The accessory structure is considered a legal non-conforming structure and the property line can not be relocated to accommodate the setback requirement. The accessory structures total approximately 5,000 square feet in size. The current code requirement in a R-1a zoning district allows up to 2,000 square feet. This exceeds the code requirements by approximately 3,000 square feet. In the past, the council has allowed parcels that have approximately forty • (40) acres or greater to exceed the size requirement. In this particular scenario, the applicant currently has forty (40) acres and is proposing to subdivide the parcel so that the accessory structures would be located upon a ten (10) acre parcel. The accessory structures would be considered legal non- conforming and the further subdivision of the property would not aid in eliminating the non-conforming status. Both Parcel A and Parcel B are proposed to have access from County Road No. 13. Parcel A currently has access to County Road No. 13. The park land dedication and the surface water management impact fee are only applied to the new parcel and not the parcel with the existing housing unit. The Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.) has been contacted in regard to the proposed subdivision and has mentioned that there are wetlands on the above mentioned property. In the letter, the D.N.R. mentions that these wetlands are not protected by the D.N.R., but are listed on the National Wetlands Inventory. The applicant did not indicate the existence of wetlands on the property. Because Parcel A is already developed and Parcel B will be approximately thirty (30) acres in size, the wetland issue may not become a • significant item associated with the proposed subdivision. s:/planning/troy/cc-as03
