CASE FILE NO. 11-0042
Schedule of Actions
Planning Commission Public Hearing: 12/13/11
City Council: 01/05/12
Background
Capstone Homes is requesting to split a lot (2951 128th Avenue) into two parcels in order to combine .27 acres (Parcel B) with the property adjacent to the south (2957 128th Avenue). An existing home was removed from the middle of the original parcel. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a waiver of platting to subdivide the parcel into two lots and allow for two similarly shaped parcels that are consistent with adjacent lots. Easements adjacent to the north lot line of Lot 12 must be vacated and new ones dedicated as a part of the lot split. The public hearing for the easement vacation is scheduled for January 5, 2012.
This is a very simple request for a waiver of platting and the conditions you see listed below are similar to approvals that have been granted in the past. Park dedication was previously paid.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
