Pearson Subdivision Staff Report December 7, 2011 Page 2 Park Dedication Requirements. Subdivisions of land are subjectto parkdedication requirements consistentwith Chapter 1204 of the City Code. When the subdivided parcels are not going to be developed, Staff typically recommends that the park dedication fee not be required. Since there are no current plans for development of the lots, staff is recommending that the park dedication fee not be required at this time. However, the west lot is technically "buildable" because of the existing platted road right-of-way frontage. Staff is including a condition in the resolution stating that if a house is ever built on either of these lots, a park dedication fee will be required as part of the building permit application. Easements. With most subdivisions, the City requires the owner to dedicate drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the lot. Since there will be no construction occurring, staff is not requiring that these easements be added at this time. There are currently existing easements shown on the survey that will remain in place. Public Notice. No public notice is required for a minor subdivision. Summary. The proposed subdivision will simply split the vacant property and create one new parcel. All minimum city requirements are met with this request. The new property line was placed so that the Pearon's shed has the required minimum 5 foot setback. Recommendation: Because the proposed subdivision satisfies all city code requirements, Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 954-11, a resolution approving the minor subdivision of a vacant lot owned by Bob & Mary Pearson, adjacent to 2565 Sherwood Road.
