Motion carried. <br />Public Hearing: Drengson May Enterprises, LLC — Request for Property Line Adjustment, Variance, <br />Minor Subdivision, and Preliminary Plat for a residential development to be known as "Acres of Bald <br />Eagle" consisting of 9 single family homes on approximately 13 acres (3 existing lots) of property <br />located north of 1215t Street North and West of Falcon Avenue North. <br />Staff provided a background on the property line adjustment, variance, minor subdivision, and <br />preliminary plat requests submitted by Drengson May Enterprises, LLC. The applicant previously went <br />through the sketch plan application process and an April 8t" neighborhood meeting. Staff explained <br />that the neighborhood meeting was to discuss the utility public improvement project. <br />The preliminary plat includes nine single-family, residential lots of one -acre or more. The applicant is <br />requesting a variance from the lot width minimum as two of the lots do not meet the lot width <br />minimum for the R-1 zoning district requirement. The proposed plan for lot 8 and 9 shows 38 and 30 <br />feet respectively, where 150 feet is required. Staff reviewed the criteria necessary to approve a <br />variance request and found that there are practical difficulties in meeting the ordinance requirements. <br />Staff also provided a background on the proposed streets, access, landscaping, and grading. The <br />applicant is required to pave 1215t Street North and bring City sewer and water to the site. Because the <br />developer is required to install utilities with the development, the neighboring properties have the <br />opportunity to connect their properties to City sewer and water. The City completed the feasibility <br />study that is required for the public improvement project. There was general consensus from the <br />
