Pl anni ng & Zo ni n g B o ar d Mar c h 9 , 200 5 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES Staff stated applicant had re quested approval of a single-fa mily residential development entitled Marshan Lakeview. The subject propert y is made up of two lots located at the end of Marshan Lane and is currently deve loped with one single-family dwelling. The applicant is proposing to divide the 121,374 square foot lot in to four lots of 35,088 square feet, 11,784 square feet, 15,419 square feet a nd approximately 42,000 square feet. The existing single-family dwelling will remain on the largest lot. Also depicted on the preliminary plat are a couple of outlots that were created as part of the Marshan Estates plat. These outlots will combine into the adjacent properties as part of this proposed plat. At the February 9, 2005 meeting the applicant requested that this proposal be continued to a future meeting so that he could thor oughly review the plans and determine if an alternative existed that could potentially save more of the significant trees on the site. Since that time, the applicant has decided that this is the best feasible layout and wishes to proceed with the applicati on. Staff has met with the app licant to define a couple of possibilities that would potent ially save some significant tr ees or allow for a greater buffer between the new lots and main drive fo r the City’s Legacy project which will be a significant traffic generator. Staff feels ve ry comfortable continuing to work with the applicant to clearly define the location of th e cul-de-sac bulb and drainage for the lots prior to the City Council reviewing the application. He presented staff’s analysis and reco mmended approval subject to the following conditions: 1. All lots created by the plat shall connect to City sanitary sewer and water; assessments will be recorded with the final plat. 2. Issues discussed in the C ity Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 3. Park dedication shall be paid in accordance with City policies. 4. The southern portion of Lot 1, Block 2 s hould be separated into another lot for donation to the County. Said lot must be subsequently combined with the adjacent County parcel. 5. The applicant shall continue to work with City staff to determine the best possible location for the cul-de-sac within the righ t of way, and the optimal drainage for the rear of Lots 2 and 3 of Block 1. Mr. Laden asked if the emergency access would remain where it was. Mr. Bengtson replied it would remain, but probably not in the exact alignment where it was now. Mr. Laden expressed concern that residents would use the emergency access road as a pedestrian access. Mr. Bengtson replied that was not something they had discussed and the intention was only for emergency access a nd not a public access, but it may serve as that at this time just because it was out there. Mr. Laden asked if they should look at a trail or path in th is area to access the Legacy Woods. Mr. Bengtson replied staff would look at that.
