For the Council's information, the school district is working with Mr. and Mrs Allie at 351 Elm Street to purchase their entire site. If a satisfactory agreement can not be reached, the District has indicated they will initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire the site which is critical to their proposed expansion plans. The property to be subdivided is Zoned R-1 and indicated as single family residential on the City's 1990 Land Use Map. The property owned by the School District is Zoned Public/Semi Public and adjoins the parcels to be subdivided. At some point in the future, should the bond issued be approved, the School District will be required to rezone the newly acquired parcels and obtain a conditional use permit to allow construction of the new school. Feasibility studies are currently underway addressing traffic, sewer, water, roadway and assessment issues as they pertain to the school district site. Utilities will be available to service the new school building, however, they may not be available for the properties along Elm Street. These properties, however, do contain adequate space for alternate on-site systems should the existing systems fail. The smallest lot created from this proposed subdivision will be 264' deep by 100' wide. This is slightly larger than four existing parcels in the immediate vicinity that are 208.56' deep by 100' wide. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this request on August 9, 1995 and approved the minor subdivision request for parcels A, B, C, D and E with the following conditions: 1. The narrow strip of property to the east on Parcel B should be added to the parcel directly south of it to avoid confusion should the piece be split at a future date. These Tots are currently two separate parcels of record owned by Mr. Leonard Thoeny. 2. The Park Dedication fee shall be waived on this minor subdivision. We feel justified in waiving this requirement as the School District will be providing athletic fields in conjunction with the school construction. Additionally , the Park Dedication Ordinance does not specifically address PSP Zoned property at this time. 3. This subdivision creates lots without public street frontage and as such approval of this minor subdivision should be contingent on Parcels A, C, E, G being combined with the balance of the School District property. A revised survey should be provided that illustrates the new School District boundaries to be recorded with the County.
