Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
In 2012/2013, the applicant subdivided property on the northwest corner of Davenport Street and 99th Lane. The plat was called Twin Tides Addition. Green Lights Recycling is a tenant in the building at 1525 99th Lane on Lot 1 of the plat, and they occupy the building at 10040 Davenport Street. Lot 2 of the plat is located in between Lot 1 and 10040 Davenport Street and is vacant at this time.
When the plat was approved by the City Council, it was suggested that a driveway could be constructed between 1525 99th Lane and 10040 Davenport via Lot 2 of the plat. A condition of plat approval, and also a requirement of the Zoning Ordinance, was that a driveway connection between the lots would require a conditional use permit, which is why the current application has been submitted.
The attached exhibit indicates how a driveway could be constructed between the two lots. The driveway will be required to be hard surfaced.
When the City Council approved the final plat for Twin Tides Addition in 2012, there was a condition that required that Lot 2 of the plat to be combined with the 10040 Davenport Street property because Lot 2 does not meet minimum lot size requirements in the I-2 zoning district. The applicant has been working on this and it will need to be addressed prior to issuance of site plan approval, which will be required prior to installation of the driveway. Site plan approval will include the submission of a Site Improvement Performance Agreement and financial guarantee to ensure that the driveway construction is completed.
A shared access agreement will be required since one of the parcels has common ownership.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
