COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT, MIKE GROCHALA Consideration of Resolution No. 01-196, Approving Minor Subdivision for Joseph A. Schwartz, Jeff Smyser - City Planner Smyser advised that the subject property is located at 588 Pine Street and is owned by Mr. Joseph A. Schwartz. The property is an un -platted 20 -acre Rural parcel, which is not connected to City water or sanitary sewer. Mr. Schwartz's son, Joseph M. Schwartz, lives on the neighboring property at 598 Pine Street, which is similarly zoned and 10 acres in size. It is the intention of Mr. Schwartz to transfer five acres of his property to his son's property in order that his son be able to qualify for the Green Acres agricultural program. The result would be two 15 -acre parcels. City Planner Smyser indicated the City's zoning ordinance requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres in a Rural zone. The proposed Minor Subdivision would result in a lot size of 15 acres for the properties at 558 and 598 Pine Street. Unless and until the proposed five -acre parcel is legally combined with the existing 10 acres at 598 Pine Street, it will be nonconforming, as it will be smaller than the City's 10 -acre required minimum lot size for property in a Rural zone. As a result, approval should carry the condition that the properties be legally combined. City Planner Smyser indicated that his report was presented at the December 12, 2001 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board. After consideration of the issues, the Board voted to recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision, with the condition noted above. City Planner Smyser advised City staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 01-196, Approving Minor Subdivision for Joseph A. Schwartz, with one condition. 5
