Hammond (P.O. Box 72, Sun Valley, Idaho 83353) and his local agent Mr. Robert Tansey (118 Endicott Arcade, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101, 224 -1883) are submitting a preliminary plat of Gervais Shores 2nd Addition for approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council . EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Upon review of the preliminary plat submitted, the following issues arise: 1. There is a problem with shallow lot depth. On more than one lot, the minimum lot depth requirement (125') has not been met. Lots in violation include Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11 and 14. If Lot 2 is designated to front Dianna Lane, the lot depth would be conforming. (Lots 1 and 2 as shown are intended to front County Road B -2). Recommendation is made to rework the lot configuration to make all of them conforming. Since seven (7) lots are in violation, variances are not advised. This is done in consideration to property owners in the adjacent Gervais Shores Addition with large lots. 2. Outlot A should be designated as an easement instead of an outlot. The preliminary plat shows this 20' wide parcel of land will be added to the existing 30' wide ingress /egress strip on the west property line, giving the "driveway" a 50' right -of -way. The City should not allow the driveway to be improved to a dedicated roadway status, as this will make the lots to the east and west of the "driveway" double fronted lots. Mr. Clayton Parks should be consulted on this issue. 00 I,
