<br /> MINUTES <br /> CITY COUNCIL <br /> AUGUST 26, 2009 <br /> B PROPERTY SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITY PLANNER AND THE CITY <br /> ENGNEER, SUBJECT TO THE CITYATTORNEY'S REVIEW OF <br /> THE CITY'S PARK CHARGE ORDINANCE AND THE REVISITING <br /> OF THE ISSUE SHOULD PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS <br /> APPLY <br /> The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Keis. <br /> Ayes (5). <br /> Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br /> McGraw asked when Comforts of Home planned to start construction. <br /> Frisbee indicated that they plan to begin construction either the end of <br /> October or the beginning of November. Blesener noted that an answer on <br /> the park dedication issue will be needed quickly. The City Administrator <br /> reported that he would discuss the issue with the City Attorney and Parks <br /> & Recreation Director right away including other viable options for the <br /> trail. <br /> AMENDMENT Mayor I3lesener opened the Public Hearing to consider amendments to <br /> TO R-l the Single-Family Residential (R-1) District and the Subdivision <br /> DISTRICT Ordinance clarifying property division standards. The Planning <br /> & Commission recommended approval of the amendments as proposed. <br /> SUBDIVISION <br /> STANDARDS The City Planner noted that as part of the City's recent Zoning and <br /> Subdivision Ordinance revision, increased single-family lot standards <br /> were developed for R-1 plats receiving preliminary approval after March <br /> of 2008. In making the amendment to the R-1 District, reference to <br /> existing single-family lots and future lots created by simple subdivision <br /> was omitted. Therefore, the ordinance amendment proposed will correct <br /> the missing references. The Subdivision Ordinance amendment provides <br /> for more definition of a simple subdivision. <br /> The City Planner indicated that a second issue for consideration is the <br /> threshold at which platting requirements are triggered. The ordinance <br /> currently allows for the simple subdivision of one lot into two. Three lots <br /> ore more would trigger platting requirements. However, in the past <br /> platting requirements came into play at four lots or more. The Planner <br /> asked if it the Council's consensus on the platting requirement threshold. <br /> In discussing this issue, staff was directed to research at what point the <br /> threshold was changed from four lots to three as the trigger for platting. <br /> Upon receipt of that information, the Council will further discuss this <br /> issue. <br /> 7 <br /> <br />
