Memo to Mayor and City Council/OA 03-02 <br />March 17, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Staff is suggesting an amendment to the subdivision process for the following: <br /> <br />1. Establish a lot split process, which would apply to the splitting of one lot into two <br /> provided that the lot has a "lot and block" legal description. <br /> <br />Amend the administrative subdivision procedure to require submission of a simple plat <br />for the subdivisions of four or fewer lots on meets and bounds property. This would <br />create a "lot and block" plat with the easements dedicated on the lots. This would <br />eliminate the need to record documents, require less review of legal descriptions and <br />decrease the likelihood of a legal description error on the part of the City. Both the lot <br />split and administrative subdivision procedure would not require Planning Commission <br />approval, only a public hearing by the City Council. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding this request at its February <br />25, 2003 meeting. No one spoke for or against the request. The Planning Commission <br />voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the <br />ordinance amendment to create a lot split and simple plat procedure. <br /> <br />S:XPLANNING\Case Files\2003\OA 03-02 Lot Split Simple Plat\3 17 CC memo.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
