STAFF REPORT <br /> Application: Preliminary Plat of Evergreen Third Addition <br /> Applicants: Mike Arvig <br /> Background Information: The Planning Commission looked at this concept last <br /> October. The proposal takes the existing duplex lots and spreads them out into eight <br /> single-family units. The units are serviced clustered sewer and water systems. <br /> Applicable Statutes: Section 140 deals with subdivisions. Subpart`B" list the <br /> submittal items required for a preliminary plat including existing features and proposed <br /> layout. <br /> Subpart"D" discusses minimum design standards. These include the following (only <br /> applicable standards listed): <br /> 1. The land shall be properly zoned and suitable in its natural state for the <br /> intended purpose with minimal alteration. Land subject to flooding, land <br /> below the ordinary high water mark, wetlands, areas with high water table, <br /> bluffs or land containing other significant constraint(s)upon future intended <br /> usage, shall not be considered in the minimum size of the lot. The suitability <br /> analysis for each lot shall also consider soil and rock formations with severe <br /> limitations for development, severe erosion potential, steep topography, <br /> inadequate water supply or sewage treatment capabilities, nearshore aquatic <br /> conditions unsuitable for water-based recreation, important fish and wildlife <br /> habitat, presence of significant historic sites, or any other feature of the natural <br /> land likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents of <br /> the proposed subdivision or of the community. <br /> 2. Each lot shall have a minimum contiguous lawn area that is free of limiting <br /> factors sufficient for the construction of two standard soil treatment sewage <br /> systems. New lots requiring mound systems or holding tanks shall not be <br /> allowed. <br /> 3. Lot areas and dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance, without a variance. <br /> 4. Lot layouts shall be compatible with the existing layout of adjoining <br /> properties. <br /> 5. Each lot shall have a minimum of thirty-three feet(33')frontage on a <br /> designated right of way. <br /> a. Proposed streets shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan of the <br /> City, County and State Highway plans and existing boundary <br /> conditions. <br /> b. Streets shall be related to the topography so as to produce usable <br /> I lots and reasonable gradients not in excess of ten percent(10%)for <br /> collector roads and fifteen percent (15%) for minor roads. <br /> January 2004-Staff Report Page 9 <br />
