nq PLANNING COMMISSION
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MICHAEL A. WOZNIAK, ASSISTANT PLANNER
DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 1988
SUBJ: MARCH 1, 1988 REGULAR MEETING REVIEWS
6d. WENSMANN ADDITION - VACATION OF DRAINAGE AND UTILITY
EASEMENTS
Wensmann Additions Planned Unit Development is a 206 lot subdivision of
single family homes which was approved by the Planning Commission and
City Council in September of 1987. The PUD was designed to be platted
in phases and the approvals in September included platting of Phase One
(Wensmann Addition). Included with this review are the following items
to provide information to the Commission:
The Developer has found that he cannot accommodate the home width he
desires on the south side of 153rd Street West - Block 4 Wensmann
Addition with the 82' wide lots as currently platted. The removal of
one lot is proposed which would create 8 wider lots in Block 4 (minimum
frontage of 90 feet. The lots created by the proposed reconfiguration
would exceed the minimum requirements established in the PUD Agreement
for Wensmann Additions as well as exceeding minimum requirements of the
City's Zoning ordinance.
The Developer had requested that the rearrangement of lots be
accomplished by a simple lot division, however, the City Engineer has
suggested that the lots to be changed should be replatted to avoid
complex legal descriptions and confusion over property boundaries.
Staff is recommending that these nine lots of Block four be replatted
as part of the second phase of Wensmann Additions (see PUD Plan) which
the Developer is planning to plat this spring. Two steps must be
undertaken to allow the Developer to construct homes on these lots
prior to the platting of phase 2. First, the easements attached to the
lots in question must be vacated which requires a recommendation by the
Planning Commission, a Public Hearing, and approval by City Council.
Secondly, an agreement must be made between the Developer and the City
which will allow building permits to be issued prior to final plat
approval of phase 2. The lots in question could not be sold until the
phase 2 plat was recorded. To initiate this change a Public Hearing
date for the Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easments in Wensmann
Addition, Block 4, lots 1-9, must be set by City Council.
