MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />APRIL 11, 2013 <br />time the Preliminary Plat was considered it should have been tabled <br />pending action on the vacation. <br />Dave Brausen then reviewed the location of the Brausen property and <br />indicated that his mother left him and his siblings this property. Brausen <br />noted discussion that under the various Brausen proposals to develop their <br />property, the City has indicated that the result would be double fronting <br />lots which does not comply with the Subdivision Code. Brausen reviewed <br />the ghost plat proposed by the City and indicated that this proposal also <br />results in double fronting lots. Brausen questioned how a road could be <br />brought into the northeast properties without the result being double <br />fronting lots. <br />The City Administrator indicated that the ghost plat was an attempt to <br />show a possible layout for development of the northeast properties, and is <br />not an indication that this is the only option. The City Administrator <br />stated that the ghost plat will not result in double fronting lots. The <br />Administrator also explained the road vacation action the Council took <br />and the fact that the Pinetree Ponds Final Plat includes Outlot C which <br />will be dedicated to the City for a future offset to the northeast properties <br />for the 50 -foot road easement that will need to be dedicated. This will <br />give the northeast property owners additional room to work with in <br />designing a plat for their property. <br />Dave Brausen asked for a guarantee that the City will not claim that the <br />development of the northeast properties results in double fronting lots in <br />Pinetree Ponds. The City Engineer reviewed the plat diagrams and <br />explained that proposed Lot 3, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2 would not be <br />considered double frontage lots if the ghost plat is utilized for <br />development of the northeast properties. The City Planner noted that the <br />definition of a double frontage lot is one having road access on the front <br />and rear lot lines. Such frontage is different than a corner lot. <br />Dave Brausen then presented showed the building pads for the ghost plat <br />and indicated that 4 of the 6 possible building pads do not meet City <br />setbacks. He also indicated that shifting the road in the ghost plat to the <br />northwest will impact these setbacks even further. <br />Dave Brausen indicated that the Pinetree Pond development is an <br />opportunity for his family to have their property developed. Brausen <br />noted that otherwise his family is dependent on the Acosta and Boog <br />properties, and these two property owners do not want to develop their <br />property at this time. Brausen pointed out that under the ghost plat, there <br />are only two lots proposed that are entirely under one ownership with the <br />rest having cross - ownership. Therefore, Acosta /Boog /Brausen must be <br />-6- <br />
