Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the waiver of platting. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant owns the two adjacent parcels, 3106 117th Avenue NE (Parcel A) and 3122 117th Avenue NE (Parcel B). He would like to construct a new home on Parcel B and has determined through the house design process he needs to have an additional 5 feet of lot width. He prefers the location and water views that Parcel B offers over Parcel A. Therefore, he wishes to adjust the common property line between the properties 5 feet further west. After the proposed adjustment both Parcels will continue to meet the lot standards set for this area with Parcel A being approximately 80-feet wide and Parcel B approximately 85-feet wide.
The existing easement located on the west property line of Parcel B will need to be vacated. A new easement will need to be dedicated on the newly created east property line of Parcel A. The applicant has submitted a petition to vacate the easements.
This is a very simple request for a waiver of platting and the conditions you see listed below are conditions listed for similar approvals that have been granted in the past.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
