Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the waiver of platting.  There were no comments at the public hearing.  
 
Background
There is an existing home on the property known as 170 117th Avenue NE.  This property is quite large in that it is larger at .82 acres than the typical ΒΌ acre lot size in this neighborhood for this zoning district.  The applicant is proposing to split this lot into two parcels.  The existing home would remain on one parcel, and a new home would be constructed on the new parcel.  
 
The property is currently .82 acres in size.  The waiver of platting would create a .33 acre parcel (new home site) and a .48 acre parcel (existing home site).  The existing home would remain and all setbacks have been met for the existing home on the new lot.  The driveway for the existing home would be relocated to Oak Park Drive NE.  The driveway for a future home would also access Oak Park Drive NE. The driveway on 117th would be removed.
 
This property is zoned R-1 (Single Family) so the new home would need to meet the standards of this zoning district.  
 
Park dedication will be required for the new lot that is being created.  The total amount due prior to the City signing off on the waiver form for the County is $3,404.  
 
Records indicate that a sewer and water service are extended to the existing home on proposed Parcel B.  The newly created Parcel A has an existing sanitary service, and will need to extend a water service from water main in Oak Park Drive.  The newly created parcel will be required to pay one lot unit of water lateral in the amount of $3,875 prior to the City signing off on the waiver form for the County.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
