Sandel APPLICANT: Mike Sandel PURPOSE: The applicant would like to make the property suitable for single family residential construction. PROPERTY SITUATION: The property is located 500' west and approximately 650' north of the intersection of East Dove Street and North Kimball Avenue on the west side of an unimproved road known as Torian Lane. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Tracts 1Q and 1R, Francis Throop Survey, Abstract No. 1511, being 1.484 acres. LAND USE CATEGORY: Medium Density Residential CURRENT ZONING: "AG" Agricultural District REQUESTED ZONING: "SF -IA" Single Family Residential District P &Z ACTION: February 21, 2002; Approved to Table (5 -0) until March 7, 2002. March 7, 2002; Approved (6 -0) STAFF COMMENTS: Please note that a change of zoning to the "SF -IA" Single Family Residential District does not require a Concept Plan. The following issues must be addressed prior to the issuance of a building permit: 1. A plat must be approved by the City and filed in the County Plat Records. This property is part of an unplatted subdivision. 2. Subdivision Ordinance No. 483 requires all lots to abut on a public or private street constructed to City Standards. Residential lots may only front on a private street if approved by the City Council and if the requirements of Ordinance No. 483, Section 5.4 and 5.5 are met. Torian Lane has been dedicated as a 60' R.O.W. to the public by a metes and bounds instrument filed of record in the County Deed Records. However, no street has been constructed and the property is not easily accessible. The City has not accepted the public dedication since no road improvement has been made. Prior to development, Torian Lane will need to be paved from East Dove Street through the frontage of this property. A paved temporary turn - around easement Case No. Attachment A ZA02 -001 Page 1 will need to be provided at the terminus of the street meeting City Engineering and Fire Department standards. 3. There are no utility services to this property. The applicant will be required to extend a minimum 6 "water line through the frontage of this property. A fire hydrant may also be required. 4. All residential fire access codes must be met prior to issuance of a building permit. A Developer's Agreement must be executed with the City prior to any construction of public facilities. 6. This property is not served by City sewer. A report from a registered sanitarian stating that a septic system will operate properly on the lot and specifying any conditions or design criteria necessary for the proper operation must be submitted with the plat application. There are two adjacent property owners to the west that are within the 200' notification area, who are opposed to this zoning change. This opposition exceeds 20% of the surrounding properties within 200' and will require a Super Majority vote in the affirmative by the City Council (6 of 7 votes) in order to receive approval.
