Minutes of Regular Councl I Meeting Page four February 14, 1983 r Council was referred to the proposed plat and to memo Indicating the lots which do not conform to the ordinance requirements. Council was referred to a transparency showing recommended modi- fication alternatives which would provide: 900 intersections at Cleveland, corner lot widths of 95' or greater, adjusts lot lines to provide standard widths and area of lots on North Katie Lane, and adjusts lot lines at west end of Karen Court to reduce the area of over-sized odd-shaped lots, but creates lots narrower at the setback line, requiring frontage variances. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommended that the applicant review the suggested modification alternatives, and recommends Council approval of a modified Preliminary Plat with contingencies (Minutes of 2/7/83). Miller explained that . the applicant Is requesting a 30' setback for all lots; noted this Is not required, lots are buildable as proposed at 40' setback; noted that the applicant feels the 30' setback would be more desirable for home owners. Miller reported that the Planning Commission had a split vote on the 30' setback request (4-4). O'Meara reported that the adjacent property owners, present at the Planning Commission meeting, were una~lmously in favor of the 30' setback. In discussion, It was explained that the drainage easement Is City-owned; could possibly readjust the easement line without reducing pond capacity (not essential to the plat). The pro- posed street names were of concern. It was suggested that variations of one street name (Drive, Court, Circie, Lane etc.) would help Identify the area, making It easier to locate an address. O'Meara said they didn't find a logical existing street name to carry through the plat. Miller explained that, In a loop street situation, extraneous names are frequently accepted; suggested that applicant refer to the postal department for possible duplication of street names. Names suggested for con- sideration were: O'Meara or Hazelnut Park Drive, or possibly one of the proposed street names - Katie Lane. Miller explained that the applicant proposes to develop the plat In phases; final plat of phase one Is to consist of the north two tiers of lots, including the east cul-de-sac. O'Meara said he wi II go with Miller's suggested plat modifications, except those In the south portion, which creates a "semi" cul- de-sac that he did not consider desirable. O'Meara noted that two access easements are proposed from the plat to the City pathway; suggested that adequate access could probably be accomplished with one easement, possibly between lots 15 and 16 on the east side of the plat, to align with Karen Co u rt . McAllister moved, seconded by Hicks, that Council approve the Preliminary Plat of Hazelnut Park Addition, combining modifications recommended In Planning Memo attachments whlchel Imlnate substand- ard lot widths on south side of Katie Lane, increase width of . corner lots, provide 900 intersections, and modify lots at cul-de- sac end of Karen Court; approval Is contingent upon: I. Establishment of minimum floor elevations on lots bordering pond, and 2. Adjustment of pond easement line as considered feasible by City Engineer; plat modification approval recognizes some lot width variances on the Karen Court cul-de-sac and the provision of one pathway ac~ess easement, between lots 15 and 16, Instead of the two shown on the proposed plat. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Mulcahy moved, seconded by McAllister, that Council approve a 30' front setback for all lots in the development (10' setback variance) -4-
