AGENDA ITEM: 12B STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Miller, City Planner DATE: October 17, 1989 TOPIC: Request for a Minor Subdivision by Brad and Helen Elledge, Application #89-48. Variance #89-49. Background: The applicants own a trapezoidal parcel of land located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lake Drive and Oak Lane. There are however two legal descriptions for the parcel. As the attached certificate of survey shows dwelling, garage, kennel and other accessory buildings are located on the west side of the parcel. The entire parcel, which covers an area of approximately two acres, has been offered for sale and a buyer has been found for the western part of the property. However, as the correspondence from Jeff Joyer shows the applicants are requesting to transfer a 25 foot wide strip of land from the eastern legally described parcel to the western parcel. According to Joyer, "The purpose of this request is to eliminate a septic encroachment along the east line and provide a more suitable back yard for the existing home on Tract 1." It would also move the kennel and one accessory building onto the western parcel. In terms of area the eastern or vacant legally described parcel would be reduced in area from 1.18 acres to 1.06 acre. By my calculations (I'm not sure the certificate of survey is accurately prepared), the western legally described parcel would have its area increased from .79 acre to .89 acre. A variance is necessary for the creation of an undersized parcel. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the requests on October llth. The members recommended approval with contingencies as shown below. Options: 1. Approve a Minor Subdivision for Helen and Brad Elledge for property located at 7790 Lake Drive, Application #89-48 contingent upon the 1) applicants preparing a revised certificate of survey showing two 20 foot easements for utilities and drainage dividing the 64Qi parcel into three 76.6 foot lots and 2) the newly created 25 foot parcel be combined with the western parcel.
