Motion carried 6 -0. Mr. Dunn made a MOTION to approve the conditional use permit for the civic complex, Town Center Parkway, pursuant to the conditions presented, and was supported by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried 6 -0. B. PUBLIC HEARING, Collova Builders, 250 & 260 Linda Avenue, Rezone, Preliminary Plat and Interim MUSA Reserve Chair Schaps opened the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Ms. Wyland explained this request by Collova Builders for a rezone, preliminary plat, interim MUSA reserve, and variance for lot depth for the property located on Linda Avenue between Hodgson Road and Lorraine. This property is currently zoned rural, and is outside the MUSA area. This request represents a rearrangement of the July, 1997 approval of a similar request at 250 Linda Avenue, together with the addition of the property located at 260 Linda Avenue. Staff also suggested and published an expansion of this request, which would add Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, Arthur E. Thom Addition, and Lots 47 and 48, Block 1, Arthur E. Thom Addition, such expansion intended to avoid multiple applications in the future. There have been similar inquiries regarding Lot 48. Ms. Wyland added that the current Comprehensive Plan indicates the subject area as single- family residential. Property to the north, east, and west is zoned R -1, and located within the MUSA. Sewer and water utilities are in the street (Linda Avenue) to serve all of these parcels, if requested. The property immediately to the south (Rohavic Oaks) is zoned Rural, with lot areas averaging one acre in size. MUSA reserve for the lots fronting on Linda Avenue would total 5.8 acres. With respect to the preliminary plat, Ms. Wyland explained that this request would create six R -1 single - family building sites from two existing parcels, with lot requirements as follows: Lot width 80 feet Corner lot 100 feet Lot depth 135 feet Lot area 10,800 square feet exclusive of any wetland/watercourse /row All lots meet the minimum frontage and area requirements, with one lot being deficient in depth by 15 feet. Ms. Wyland explained that Staff suggested that Lot 6 could be reduced in width by 30 feet to allow additional depth for Lot 5; however, this may hinder home construction on Lot 6 due to the UPA easement. Should it be determined that the deficiency in depth for Lot 5 is warranted, a variance would be required.
