The City Council will then conduct a public hearing. If the Preliminary Plat and Variance is approved, the applicant can then apply for the Final Plat and Variance and attend a Planning Commission for their recommendation prior to final approval from the City Council. This development proposal will be seen in two phases, one for the Preliminary Plat and one for the Final Plat. For this process, a public hearing is required at the City Council meetings. Letters of notification are mailed to residents within 350 feet of the site and the notice is published in the Pioneer Press. With the previous application, the neighborhood was noticed three separate times and the Commission and Council received public participation at both the Planning Commission and City Council meetings. Proposal To subdivide the parcel into seven lots creating seven new homes. Options include: 1.Revised development proposal with public road & 7 parcels (Variance for 8-foot reduction of Lot Depth from 130 feet to 122 feet) 2.Revised development proposal with private road & 7 parcels (No variances required) Variance Request (for Public Street option) The site plan with the public street shows a lot depth of the four western parcels of 122 feet, which is 8 feet less than the standard. The request is for 122 feet in lot depth length (130 feet requirement), leaving a Variance request of 8 feet for four of the seven lots. The proposal meets the requirements of the zoning code, except for one area of Lot Depth. There is a brand-new standard (with the Zoning Code update in 2020, that requires lots to be 130 feet in length, this has not been the requirement before 2020, there was not one in place). The request is for 122 feet in length, leaving a Variance request of 8 feet.
