The proposed lots measure 26,970 and 25,040 square feet in size and 145 and 140 feet in width and significantly exceed minimum lot area requirements (see Exhibit B). The proposed subdivision will also allow the subject site's existing single family home, which would lie on the westernmost parcel, to meet R -1 side yard setback requirements. One point of concern relates to whether adequate vehicular maneuvering space exists at the eastern conclusion of Savage Lane directly south of the subject site. Should the city feel a provision should be made to accommodate expanded turning maneuvers, a cul -de -sac could be dedicated within the proposed easternmost parcel as identified on Exhibit B. The proposed subdivision of the property follows City procedural policy per Section 1001,060 of the City Subdivision Ordinance which states: EXCEPTIONS: When requesting a subdivision, if the following condition exists, the City Clerk shall bring the request to the attention of the Planning Commission and City Council whereupon, the said request shall be reviewed and the City Council, following receipt of a recommendation from the Planning Commission, may relieve the subdivider from complying with any procedural requirements of this Ordinance that are deemed appropriate. (a) In the case of a request to divide a lot where the division is to permit the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting lot or to create two lots and the newly created property line will not cause the other remaining portion of the lot or any structure to be in violation with this Ordinance or the Zoning Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION The proposed subdivision of Mr. Johnson's property into two separate parcels is straight forward and lies in conformance with the City Code. As a result, our office recommends approval of the subdivision provided the dedication of a cul -de -sac located directly south of the subject site is considered which would sufficiently accommodate vehicular turning maneuvers. cc: Annette Freeman John Palacio Don Carley Tom Sweeney Greg Johnson Page 16
