• Growth Management Angie's Acres Page 2 Growth Management, Units/Year: As seen in the table at the end of this report, 165 lots have been approved for year 2005. The recent ordinance amendment to the growth management policy has eliminated the City Council's ability to allow 20% more discretionary lots over the 147 -lot maximum per year in the future. However, as was discussed when this ordinance was adopted, the projects that were already in the approval process could still be considered for the remaining 6 discretionary lots for calendar year 2005. MUSA Reserve: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of MUSA acres for residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). The subject site is already within the current MUSA boundary. Preliminary Plat Lots: The minimum lot size in the R -1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district is 10,800 square feet of upland. The two lots being created by the proposed plat will consist of 23,346 square feet and 14,610 square feet respectively. Lot 1 is sufficient in size to meet the minimum setback requirements for the existing single- family dwelling. The 1,644 square foot outlot will be combined with the property to the south and therefore will not be subject to the minimum lot size requirements of the code. This is being done to accommodate some existing improvements that were done by the southern property owner on the subject property. Streets: No new streets are needed or proposed as a part of the proposed preliminary plat. A new driveway from Elm Street will be needed for Lot 2, which is required to be a minimum of five feet from a side property line. No additional right -of -way is necessary on Elm Street, as it already has the complete 60 feet of right of way needed from centerline. Wetlands: The subject site does not have any existing wetlands. Park / Open Space: The proposal does not include any land dedication for parkland, only a cash dedication will be required. Park dedication fees will be calculated as required by city policy. An existing trail on the south side of Elm Street adjacent to lots 1 and 2 of the proposed preliminary plat will not be affected by the proposed preliminary plat as it lies within the Elm Street right -of -way. This trail will need to be maintained by the property owner during construction as noted in the City Engineer's comments. Utilities: Adequate municipal services exist within the Elm Street right -of -way, and both properties will be required to connect to municipal services. •
