PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT APPROVAL TO SUBDIVIDE 9.99 ACRES INTO 1 LOT AND 2 OUTLOTS, LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF LYMAN BOULEVARD AND GREAT 6 , PLAINS BLVD., EUGENE QUINN/VANDOREN- HAZARD - STALLINGS. l u f Fublic Present: Name Address Gene & Therese Quinn 532 Lyman Blvd. Scott Harri Van Doren - Hazard - Stallings Gary Skalberg 510 Lyman Blvd. Russ & Orletta Frederick 540 Lyman Blvd. 1 1 1 City Council Meeting - March 23, 1992 • 1' Name Address Bailey & Mary Lou Jensen 500 Lyman Blvd. Diane Riegert 520 Lyman Blvd. ' Leslie O'Halloran 550 Lyman Blvd. Mayor Chmiel: I'd like to have Mr. Quinn or his representative come forward. II They have a little of concerns for clarification and they'd like to bring those up at this particular time. Scott Harri: Your Honor, members of the Council. My name is Scott Harri and we ' appreciate the opportunity and your indulgence for perhaps getting things a little bit out of order here. At the Planning Commission meeting 3 weeks ago it was the applicant's intention to request a variance on Outlot A and it didn't get included in the discussion at the time. Outlot A is the southern most piece of the proposed subdivision of the Quinn property adjoining the proposed Quinn Road. And through the conversations that the applicant and myself had with staff in putting together this subdivision that you see before you this evening, arrived at a number of considerations and one of the things is there's an existing 50 foot wide driveway easement that is under the proposed 60 foot Quinn Road right -of -way that is proposed to be platted. Outlot A was configured with 1 the City's subdivision ordinance in mind as far as a single family lot arrangement. When we looked at lot arrangement in and around the storm water . pond on this site, it became kind of a restriction as far as the depth of the lot from what would be a proposed 30 foot setback line. The request that we would like to make is for a 10 foot variance to the 30 foot setback along Quinn Road on Outlot A. The impact to the City in this case is that visually the houses that would be built along Quinn Road would have the same depth or ' distance from the edge of the street to the front of the house. There wouldn't be any lessening of the length of the driveway or the visual distance that the house would be from the edge of the traveled street and what that will allow ' then is for an adequate depth of the backyard for those, if any future housing units built between the pond and Quinn Road. What we're doing right now and in fact the variance would not necessarily be shown on the plat. It would run with the Minutes of your action this evening and at such time that the Quinn's came ' in to develop Outlot A, that variance, if it was deemed reasonable and feasible due to the nature of the housing and other final design criteria on the site could be afforded to the applicant at that time. Mayor Chmiel: Okay, Paul. When you had this before the Commission, as they've indicated, that wasn't shown as that you have that as an Outlot A. Do you have ' any concerns with what Mr. Harri has indicated? Paul Krauss: Well, we have some problem with the idea of pre - granting variances without having lots present. It seems to bind the actions of a future Council I which goes against some basic tenants of how we operate. On the other hand, I understand Gene's concern. They are taking the full hit if you will for that future road simply because they're the first one in. The driveway's on their I property right now. We're not sure what the houses are going to look like along that road in the future because we're frankly not sure where the road's going to go. It's going to have to be rebuilt. There is no road there now. It's a dirt driveway. We understand the concern. We're not sure excactly how we can deal 2 • City Council Meeting - March 23, 1992 with that. That's true, as Jo Ann points out. A variance is only good for a year in any case and it's got to be used by that time and there's no way that • this would be used by then. There's no utilities in this area. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. I guess that's a good point. Charles, do you have any concerns with this at all? Charles Folch: I think the only thing, just to point out and you may be aware of this already is the option of reducing the required right -of -way down to 50 feet. At some point in the future that additional 10 feet would have to be acquired and if the road was being constructed before the properties to the east would be subdividing or they may not even subdivide, it would be up to the City II to acquire the additional 10 feet from the properties on the east and there would likely be a cost associated with that. Just as long as you're aware that if we grant the 50 foot right -of -way dedication at some point in time we'll likely pay for the rest. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. I see this now as a problem basically with it only being good for one year as a variance. It would not be of any value for you to go through that process because there's no services available at that site, nor will be, for some time, and that means sewer and water. And I think too that that probably should be something that would be done at the time we go through with that platting of that particular Outlot A. At least that's the way I see it and I'll throw it open to Council as well. Mike. Councilman Mason: Yeah, with knowing that the variance is only going to last a year, it would almost be pointless for us to take action on it. I would hate to have a Council 6 -7 years from now look at something we've done and be bound by that anyway. Unfortunately this almost seems fruitless just because anything we do now is going to be somewhat irrelevant by the time you get around to developing it. Do you understand what's going on here? So I guess I'm not quite sure what to do. 1 Councilman Workman: I concur. I don't know that we'd be doing anybody any good really anyway other than to pass on our strong concerns about it. Approving a variance, do we even have the ability to approve a variance? I don't know that we even have a solution. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, I don't see one right now. I really don't. Okay. 1 Councilwoman Dimler: I concur. I don't see that it would do anything... Maybe Roger would have, do you have anything to say? 1 Roger Knutson: Maybe one more complicating factor. Obviously if you were even to consider it, it would have to go back through public hearing and back through the process and then it would be gone in one year. , Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, it wouldn't make any sense. Roger Knutson: You'd be doing a lot of work for nothing. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah. They would be doing as well. So with that, we can accept the preliminary plat as you provided us and final plat approval to subdivide 3 City Council Meeting - March 23, 1992 that with what was carried through at the Planning Commission without that 10 foot variance on Outlot A. If you're in agreement with that, I would so move that we accept item 1(a). Councilwoman Dimler: Second. 1 Mayor Chmiel moved, Councilwoman Dialer seconded to approve preliminary and final plat to subdivide 9.99 acres into one lot and two outlots located northeast of the intersection of Lyman Blvd. and Great Plains Blvd. without the 10 foot variance on Outlot A. All voted in favor and the motion carried. ' B. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL, WILLOW RIDGE ADDITION (LUNDGREN /ORTENBLAT/ERSBO). (Councilman Wing arrived to the meeting at this point.) Mayor Chmiel: Charles, could you give a little clarification this please? Charles Folch: Thank you Mr. Mayor. If you turn to page 14 in your staff report, I have just two items of clarification with the staff report. On page 14, condition number 10. The first sentence relating to the existing hydrants being relocated. That first sentence should be eliminated. It was originally placed as a condition with the thought that the entire plat would be constructed ' at one time but with the two phased approach this hydrant won't be needed until Phase 2. 1 Mayor Chmiel: I'm glad you brought that up because I didn't have page 14 or 15 in my report.. Charles Folch: Oh. Well maybe I'll just read it off. Basically condition 10 should read, the Fire Department must approve street names and a 10 foot clear space must be provided around hydrants. Additional hydrants are needed at the intersection of Lake Lucy Road and the proposed public road. That should be the remaining condition. Mayor Chmiel: Alright. Charter Folch: Then on the following page, item 15. Or on page 15, item 20 there was a question by the developer related to the need for the 30 x 30 utility easement over the lift station that is being located in that area. ' Unfortunately the lift station's going to be about 35 feet deep and if we ever had to go in and repair or reconstruct that lift station, even with 1:1 side slopes, you're going to be at least 30 feet out in every direction from that ' lift station so staff feels that that condition should remain. Those are the only two points I had to make on item 1(b). ' Mayor Chmiel: Very good. With those two items so noted, any discussion? Mike Pflaum: My name is Mike Pflaum. I'm with Lundgren Bros. Construction and I had to wait until Charles make his comments before determining whether or not ' I was going to have to comment on something. I would like to comment on the condition that requires the construction of a small portion of the future street that would be the eastern portion of the site. 1 4 1
