Mills Minor 5ubdivision December 19, 2001 Page 2 Proposed Easements: The subdivision will need to dedicate the typical front and sideyard drainage and utility easements for both Lots 12 and 20. Ten feet shall be dedicated for that part of Lot 12 fronting Woodlawn Drive and ten feet shall also be dedicated over those parts of Lot 20 fronting Edgewood and Bronson Drives. Five feet shall be dedicated along all other property lines, as shown on the attached Easement Exhibit, prepared by staff. Two easement documents are required with this subdivision (one for each property) and they shall be recorded at Raznsey County atong with the Certifrcate of Snrvey, the revised deeds and the City's resolution of approval. City staffworking in conjunction with the City Attorney shall prepare these twa documents. The Certificate of Suzvey shall include language that states: "Separate drainage and utflrty easement documents are to be recorded with Ra»asey County covering those areas so indicated in this Certificate and Plat of Sur-vey." ParkDedacation: No park dedication fees will be levied upon this subdivision as no new "additional" lots are being crea�ed. Zo� Lot 12 (the duplex Iot) is zoned R-2, Single & Two Family Residential; and Lot 20 (the four-plex lot) is zoned R-3, Medium Density Residential. While no changes are necessitated by this subdivision, the zoning designafion of the land divided from Lot 12 and added to Lot 20 should be rezoned at some point to be consistent with the iand use. Since there is no urgency to do this, staf�would recommend including this piece of land with a future comprehensive rezoning ordinance that would likely be processed sometime in 2002. �-- Com rehensive Plan: The same issue arises with the City's Comprehensive Plan existing and future Iand use maps. The parcels have dif�erent designations, yet the subdivision will not change the associated land uses, so again there is no urgency to make the correction. Staffrecommends deiaying any change untiI the next regularly scheduled round of map updates. Access and Tra�ic: There a.re no changes groposed with regard to access or the extent of vehicle trips made on a daily basis as a result of this subdivision. Mr. MiIIs would, however, like to con.struct garages for Lot 20, which would require relocating the Edgewood Drive access to the north side of Lot 20. The existing bituminous driveway along the south side of the property would be removed at the same time. In so doing, Mr. Mills would be eliminating a non- conforming driveway (non-conforming due to the limited setback from the intersection of Bronson and Edgewood Drives.) Recommendation This proposed subdivision of land is merely a redrawing of one common lot iine between two parceIs to afford the property owner greater flexibility to make unprovements to Lot 20. The associated uses will not be changing as a result of the subdivision. There will not be any impacts to traf�ic or congestion and the subdivision would not be inconsistent with either �he Comprehensive Plan or the Zoning Code and Subdivision Code. Sta.ff recommends approval of Resolution 683, subject to the following stipulations:
