r • • Planning & Zoning Board August 14, 1996 Al Robinson made a MOTION to approve the minor subdivision with the condition that the stormsewer relocation be approved by the City Engineer and was supported by Johnson. Motion carried 6 -0. C.96 -28, Daniel Robinson, 4th Avenue, Minor Subdivision Ms. Wyland stated that Robin -Acres was platted in July 1967. It consists of eight lots that are approximately 100 feet wide and 117 feet deep, which are substandard according to today's City code requirements. The property is zoned rural and designated as rural on the Land Use Map. There are no sewer or water utilities available. Between 1967 and the present minor subdivisions were approved which added dimensions of 100 feet wide and 150 feet deep to all lots in Robin - Acres, except Lot 5. The applicant is now seeking to do the same for Lot 5 which would make it 26,700 square feet in area. Staff is recommending approval with the condition that the new parcel be legally joined with the existing Lot 5, Robin - Acres; and that the park dedication be waived. Chair Schaps asked how this situation occurred. Mr. Robinson responded that when the property was platted, a road was anticipated along the back side to the west. Originally, the units were rented. When they were sold, more land was added to each parcel, except Lot 5. The present owner of Lot 5 would like to purchase the additional area and square off the property. Don Dunn made a MOTION to approve the minor subdivision with the condition that the new parcel be legally joined with Lot 5, Robin -Acres and was supported by Johnson. Motion carried 5 -0 with Robinson abstaining. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS Ms. Wyland noted that a townhome development on Apollo Drive will be reviewed at the next meeting along with Miller's South Glen off 62nd Street and Ware Road. Johnson noted that a lot of grading is taking place at that site and asked how much grading can be done before the Board approves the project. Ms. Wyland stated that one of the ponds is being regraded, but staff will check on it. VII. ADJOURNMENT • Al Robinson made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:05 p.m. and was supported by Dahl. Motion carried 6 -0.
