intended to remain. The home has been found to meet applicable R -1 setback requirements. The detached garage is located within proposed Parcel 2. As located, the garage fails to meet applicable R -1 district setbacks, lies within a drainage and utility easement and presents orientation problems (if associated with future Parcel 2 home construction). As a condition of subdivision approval, the existing garage should be removed. Future Garage Construction. Recognizing that the removal of the existing garage (within Parcel 2) will leave the existing home without a garage, it is important that some forethought be given to future garage construction. As a condition of subdivision approval, the applicant should demonstrate how a garage (attached or detached) may be constructed upon Parcel 1 without need for variance. It is not clear from the current survey how this might be accomplished. Drainage and Utilities. Appropriately, utility easements have been shown on the certificate of survey. Issues related to drainage and utilities should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer. Park Dedication. The applicant will be required to pay a per lot cash contribution (in lieu of land dedication) for park for the newly created lot as determined by the Parks and Recreation Commission and approved by City Council. RECOMMENDATION Based on the preceding review, our office recommends approval of the proposed lot split subject to the following conditions 1. The existing garage on the property be removed. 2.
