19 <br /> • MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 09/10/01 MEETING DATE: 09/18/01 <br /> TO: Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan Henry, Assistant City Manager <br /> RE: Request for Lot Split: Wirth Cos., Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition <br /> The applicant, Wirth Companies, is requesting a lot split. It is the same lot split which <br /> the City Council approved on June 23, 1998. Following that approval by the City, the <br /> applicant did not follow-up with a final plat. City staff has requested the applicant return <br /> to the Planning Commission with the original request. David Lutz, representative for the <br /> Wirth Companies, stated a dispute arose between the two property owners, which is <br /> why the split was never completed. <br /> 7 <br /> The request is to subdivide and replat Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition, a vacant lot to the <br /> southwest of the Apache Medical Building. The applicant proposes to split Lot 1, Block <br /> 1, Beutz Addition and join 74 feet to the Apache Medical Building to provide additional <br /> parking. The remaining southerly 74 feet will be replatted to include the vacant parcel, <br /> Lot 2, Block 2, Apache Plaza that adjoins to the east. <br /> • Wirth Companies is not currently the owner for the subject property. According to an <br /> agreement on the case, Wirth Companies will become the property owner. Staff has <br /> requested a letter from the current property owner's counsel, acknowledging this <br /> understanding. Staff had not yet received the letter as packets were sent out. The letter <br /> will be presented to Commissioners on September 18. <br /> The applicant's request will bring Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition into compliance with <br /> Chapter 15, Subd. 4 (1), of the City's Ordinance, which states that all lots must abut <br /> their full frontage on a public street. The replatting of the vacant lot creates a lot that <br /> meets the minimum lot size requirement under the same Chapter. The proposal will not <br /> affect the existing easement, located at the "finger" shape piece of land. <br /> Legal counsel reviewed the plat in 1998. There have been no changes since then. The <br /> item to note is the easement. Prior to the development of the lot, a final plat will have to <br /> be approved and evidence of title will need to be provided. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Approved the preliminary plat, subdivide and replat, of Lot 1, <br /> Block 2, Beutz Addition. <br /> Attachments: <br /> Wirth Companies Request for Lot Split <br /> • Preliminary Plat <br />
