Pl anni ng & Zo ni n g B o ar d Sep t em b e r 8, 20 04 Page 6 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to recommend con tinuing the public hear ing to the October P&Z meeting and was supported by Mr . Tralle. Motion carried 4-0. B. PUBLIC HEARING for Preliminary Plat for Speiser Acres, Jeff & Marni Sawyer, the combination and subdivision of three existing lots to result in three lots, 453 Birch Street Chair Rafferty opened the pub lic hearing at 8:02 p.m. Staff stated applicants were requesting approval of a single-family residential development called Speiser Acres. The propert y within the subdivision consists of three existing lots, one with an existing single-f amily dwelling, and two lots of vacant land. The lot for the existing single-family dwelling will be enlarged to include the land on which some accessory buildings have been constructed. Another single-family residential lot with frontage onto Birch Street will be created, and the remaining acreage will be combined into one large lot. Staff noted this application highlights an unusual situation that should be corrected. There are five existing homes on the north side of Birch Street that are outside of the MUSA boundary. Two of the five are on city sewe r, and one of the five is on city water. As part of the building a new single-family dwelling on the single-family residential lot created by this plat, city util ity connection will be required for the new lot. To prepare for the possibility of future utility connections along birch Street, th e city should allocate MUSA reserve to all of the lots fronting on Bi rch Street, with the exception of the large ‘outlot’ being created as part of this plat. That lot should not have MUSA allocation until such time as further development occurs. Staff presented their analysis and recomme nded approving the applic ation, including the allocation of 6.5 acres of 2004 MUSA reserve and the preliminary pl at, subject to the following conditions: 1. Lot 2 shall connect to city sanitary sewer and water. 2. Issues discussed in the C ity Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 3. Park dedication of $1,665 shall be paid. 4. Permit from the Rice Creek Watershed Distri ct prior to City Council approval of a final plat. Mr. Laden asked if they had used any of the 2004 MUSA reserve yet. Mr. Bengtson replied there was some MUSA still available. Mr. Hyden asked if there was wetland on Lot 2. Mr. Bengtson replied there was wetland on Lots 1 and 2. Mr. Root asked about the eventual development of the outlot. He asked if there was anyway to make a connection if this outlot was developed in the future. Mr. Bengtson
