Memo to Planning Commission <br />May 28, 1996 <br /> <br />Lot Size and Dimensions <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />The minimum lot size in the C3 zoning district permits one-acre lots. As <br />previously mentioned, the developable lot being created is 6 acres in size, <br />we]] exceeding the minimum roquiremonts. Also in the plat is a remnant <br />that is created as a result of the frontage road extending west of Jarvis. This <br />remnant is labeled as Outlot A and is approximately one-half acre in size. <br />Staff is recommending that Outlot A be combined with Lot 4 immediately to <br />the north to avoid any possibilities of Outlot A going tax forfeit. <br /> <br />Well and Septic System <br /> <br />This plat is in an area of the City that currently does not have water and <br />sewer and is not planned as part of the comprehensive plan to have city <br />water and sewer. Therefore, any development proposed in this area will be <br />required to provide adequate on site septic and well systems. As a result of <br />the size of the proposed commercial use, the building will need to be <br />sprinkled and in order to accommodate the sprin]din g system, a 30,000 <br />gallon underground tank will need to be provided on site. <br /> <br />Access off Ja rv is <br /> <br />The proposed frontage road (156th Avenue) is approximately 340 feet north <br />of Highway 10. Ideally, the frontage road is the street that should provide <br />access to the parcels at the corner of Highway 10 and Jarvis. <br /> <br />As shown on the proposed site plan for the furniture store an access is <br />proposed directly off Jarvis. Staff believes this access should be removed. <br />Certainly under today's conditions an access directly off Jarvis would seem <br />reasonable. However, to allow the access today and expect it to be removed <br />at a later date is difficult. Furthermore, the decision to permit or prohibit <br />access on the west side of Jarvis will have an impact on future proposals for <br />the east side of Jarvis. <br /> <br />If the Planning Commission agrees with the need to prevent access directly <br />off Jarvis, the best means to accomplish this with the plat is require <br />restricted access. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br />preliminary plat request by John Weicht and Associates to subdivide <br />approximately 7 acres into one commercial lot and one outlot with the <br />following conditions: <br /> <br />s:\plsnni, g\pc\p96-4.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
