7. Planning Cases
A. Resolution 1171-24, Approval of the Voyager Subdivision Preliminary Plat at
7900 Sunnyside Road
Phil Carlson, City Planner with Stantec, stated The Beaches own the single family lot at 7900
Sunnyside Road, in the NW quadrant of Sunnyside and Hillside Road. They want to subdivide
the property into two lots and are applying for a subdivision to be called Voyager Subdivision.
The existing lot is about 136’ X 231’, or 31,363 square feet in size. There is an existing house on
the east side of the lot which would remain and an existing garage in the middle of the lot which
would be taken down. The proposed plat would divide the parcel into two lots: Lot 1 would be
about 108’ X 136’, or 14,587 square feet; Lot 2, a corner lot with the existing home, would be
about 123’ X 136’, or 16,776 square feet. The minimum dimensions for single family lots in the
R-1 district are 75 ft wide and 11,000 square feet for interior lots, and 100 feet wide and 12,500
square feet for corner lots. In addition, the required side setback is 10 feet. The location of the
new common lot line between Lot 1 and Lot 2 would leave more than enough side setback from
the existing home. The proposed lots meet all zoning requirements. Water and sewer service to
new Lot 1 would be from Hillview Road. Grading for the new home on Lot 1 would create
swales on the west and north sides of the lot to direct drainage around the new home and keep it
from neighboring properties. Drainage and utility easements are proposed around the perimeter
of both lots. Staff commented on the request further and recommended approval of the
Subdivision Preliminary Plat as requested.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson/Commissioner Munson. To approve Resolution
1171-24, a Resolution Recommending Approval of the Voyager Subdivision Preliminary Plat at
7900 Sunnyside Road.
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
