Mr. David Woessner 2 July 6. 1998 . With regard to the buildability of Tract "C" as it stands today, it appears at this time that the integrity of the ravine would have to be preserved for drainage purposes. As such, any residential structure would have to be set back on the lot and a driveway constructed with a culvert so as to not obstruct any stormwater flows. I discussed this briefly with Mr. Welsch and, while neither of us are engineers, we believe that stormwater drainage will be an issue that will need to be addressed. It may be worth your while to have your engineer speak with someone in the City Engineer's office about such considerations. The ravine will be an issue under both of the two options identified immediately below. 1. The curb cuts and sewer and water services are in place to accommodate two radial lots; and . Regarding the curb cuts, water services and sanitary sewer services that were put in place during the construction of the Milton Street cuI-de-sac, I do not know why the City constructed these facilities without a formal plat submission for land abutting the cul-de-sac. Nevertheless, it is clear from the April 10, 1996 Staff Report that the curb cuts and sewer/water services were intended to provide services to two lots to be created on the Woessner property. I presume that the placement of these services resulted from the City's sketch showing a radial lotting pattern that was drawn up sometime during or as a result of your request for platting of the flag lot subdivision. I am not clear on what your family's involvement was in the creation of that sketch plat or if at any time you agreed to pursue the plat as sketched by the City. If I understand correctly from what you have told me, it may have been that due to your relationship with Cliff Lund you did not pursue a plat with that particular lotting pattern sensing that a cooperative venture was not an option. Having said all of this, what's done is done; the curb cuts and service lines are in place. I don't think at this point that a discussion with the City's Engineering Department about how the infrastructure improvements came to be would be fruitful. In fact, you may find that the improvements enhance the value of your mother's tract. With this information in mind, David, it appears that you have two options to consider: 1. Sell Tract "C" as it exists today; or 2. Work with the current owners of the "L-shaped" lot, the Hoffmans, to reconfigure the two tracts. Such a replatting would constitute a Minor Subdivision under the City's regulations. In consideration of the fact that:
