ì ~- ) October 6, 1976 PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: 1015-76 Dorothy Healy Northwest Corner of Cleveland Avenue and Roselawn Avenue ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Preliminary Plat. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. A substantial portion of this property is occupied by the "Healy Pond" which functions as a permanent ponding area in this part of the City. The City has been attempting to obtain a drainage easement for this pond which easement is now proposed as a part of this plat. 2. The dry land on the north side consists of approximately 46,355 square feet, which at 11,000 square feet per lot would appear to accomodate four lots. Placement of the lot lines approximately as shown, however, produces three building sites with frontage on Cleveland Avenue. The building line for Lot 1 will be substantially back from Cleveland Avenue, placing a home on this lot approximately 110 feet west of Cleveland Avenue. 3. The plat includes additional dedication of ten feet on the north side of Roselawn Avenue and an additional 16.5 feet on the west side of Cleveland Avenue. Assessments will be spread against the proposed lots for sewer, water, and storm sewer services. 4. The only problem we see with respect to this plat, in consultation with the City Engineers, is the proposal to plat the southerly 110 feet of the property as Outlot A. This outlot contains only water area and unbuildable land, and obviously will be let go tax delinquent. This ultimately places the City in a position of responsibility for maintaining the shoreline on this corner. We have advised the landowners that the pond should be divided approximately in one- third ratios to each of the three lots. It is not advisable, in our opinion to purposely plat land leaving unuseable portions for the City to maintain. 5. An optional method of platting the land would be to simply divide the buildable property into two relatively large lots. A view of the large homesites across the streeton Lauren Road shows that this may well be a feasible possibility. In any case, whether it is two lots or three lots, the building sites will have an excellent view over the pond and should attract some fine homes.
