------------- --~ --------------- ~ , . 2. The site is heavily wooded with many large oaks and other hardwood trees. It slopes down .1 to the north and east from the existing street frontage in the SW comer. Although the I sanitary sewer in Thom Drive is 10 feet down below the surface, it cannot adequately serve more than a small portion of the upland area in the SW corner of the property due to the sloping site. Individual sewer ejector pumps may be required on some of the lots if the tract , were to be developed with homes at the normal setback from a normal-sized cul-de-sac. ~ The application is for platting both lots 25 and 26. It should be noted the lot 25 has been I ~. previously redivided into two lots, and that the westerly of the lots is partially used in this plat to allow Lot 5 to meet area and lot width requirements. The northerly 10 feet of this lot is , also used to make the proposed street a full 60 feet in width. If a portion of these new lots are included in the plat, the remnant lot that contains the home in the SW corner of the proposed plat should be numbered as a lot and included as part of the platting process. I 4. A Subdivision Ordinance variance of 20 feet for the cul-de-sac diameter (120 feet required and 100 feet proposed) would be required for the plat to be approved. I 5. Lot 1 does not meet the rear yard requirements due to the unusual configuration of the lot. Staff has determined that the NW lot line is the rear lot line (being most nearly parallel to the I front lot line) and that a 30 foot rear yard would, therefore, be required along the NW lot line. 6. City staffhas reviewed this proposed development with the Applicant several times over the -. past months. Staffhas recommended that the plat be reduced to four lots with a full 120 foot diameter cul-de-sac and that other lot dintension and yard requirements be met. The Applicant feels that the site can support five lots with minor variances. The larger cul-de-sac I will force the homes to be placed approximately two (2) feet further down the slope, requiring more grading, and possibly more trees lost and the installation of sewage ejector systems on some lots. Applicants certainly have the right to make application for developments requiring I variances so three optional actions are available. OPTIONS I 1. Deny the request for plat approval and identifY reasons for denial: I a. Plat requires a variance to the cul-de-sac diameter. b. Lot 1 does not meet rear yard requirements. I c. All portions of Lot 26, Block 3, have not been included in the plat. , , 2 -, I
