SSR & W Minor Subdivision page 4 Staff supports this minor change to the recommendation, and this is what appears in the resolution as a condition of approval. Conditions of Approval 1. A road easement shall be dedicated to the City that includes the 66' x 597' northern parcel and the eastern 33 feet of the southern, 11 -acre portion. A revised survey showing the right of way and a warranty deed for the right of way shall be submitted and reviewed by the City before the City certifies the resolution or any deed or document approving the minor subdivision. 2. Park dedication of $1665 shall apply and shall be submitted before the City certifies the resolution or any deed or document approving the minor subdivision. SUMMARY Approval of the application as submitted is to forego an opportunity for implementation of the City's long -range plan. If the City is to implement its long range plan, as represented in the 2001 comprehensive plan, it must recognize opportunities to put together the individual pieces. The 2001 comprehensive plan, the transportation plan which is a key element, and the 1999 access management plan all point to providing for a future road connection. This would provide safe access and circulation for existing properties and for future development, if it occurs. The subdivision ordinance supports this by prohibiting the creation of flag lots. Access to the new lot will be from Main St. As long as this is the access intended by both the City and the applicant, it is reasonable to make the access a public right of way that accomplishes a number of public purposes. In addition, it provides continued access to the adjacent property. OPTIONS 1. Approve the minor subdivision as proposed. 2. Approve the minor subdivision with the conditions listed above. 3. Deny the proposed minor subdivision. 4. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option 2
