Hetland/AS 95-09 September 18, 1995 Page 2 • In order to construct a home on this parcel, the outlot status of the parcel must be changed which can be accomplished through an administrative subdlivision. Outlot A Outlot A of Lundgren Homes First Addition is a long, somewhat narrow, parcel. Staff is unsure why this parcel was classified as an outlot due to the fact that it does not serve any drainage or utility purpose. One possible scenario is that when Lundgren Homes First Addition was platted in 1974, all the parcels were serviced by private septic systems and wells. Outlot A may have been considered too small to support a septic system and well and, therefore, was left as a remnant outlot not serving any definite function. The topography of the site does fall off to Albany Street, but there does appear to be ample room to construct a home and meet all the setbacks. Due to the configuration of the lot, the home will be required to be constructed on the north side of the parcel. The south side of the lot is too narrow to meet all of the structure setbacks. Care will need to be taken when a home is constructed to ensure that positive drainage occurs away from the back of the home. • Sewer and Water The subject site was part of the Westwood Area improvement project and the applicant was assessed $9,715.24 for the outlot for city sewer and water. When city sewer and water was extended past the subject site, astub-in was made available as the city anticipated that the outlot could support a home. The applicant would now like to sell the parcel in order to help pay for the added assessments. Park Dedication When Lundgren Homes First Addition was platted in 1974, park dedication was likely not paid for Outlot A due to the outlot status of the parcel making the lot unbuildable. With this in mind, staff and the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that with the replatting of Outlot A, park dedication in the amount of $500 be paid prior to recording the parcel. Surface Water Management Impact Fee With the creation of any new parcel, a surface water management impact fee of $123.60 is required for parcels with city sewer and water. If the • administrative subdivision is approved, staff would recommend that this fee be paid prior to recording of the administrative subdivision.
