City Council approval requires a majority vote of City Council, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant is requesting a preliminary plat approval extension for Fretham 19"t' Addition to permit the development of four lots. Approval of the preliminary plat extension allows the property owner to proceed with the final platting of the property without going back through the preliminary plat review process. There is currently a home on the west side of the property with a non -conforming commercial building in which the property owner lives in one of the upper units on the east side of the property. The requested extension is necessary due to the owner's desire to remain on the property, ongoing negotiations between the developer and property owner and the developer's need to prepare appropriate engineering plans to meet the city requirements. The property is located at the intersection of Bretton Way and Teton Lane. Section 18-41 of the Chanhassen City Code requires that the subdivider request final plat approval within one year of the preliminary plat approval unless a request, in writing, is submitted to the City requesting for good cause for an extension of the preliminary plat. There have been no amendments to the City Code that would adversely affect the conditions of approval for the subdivision. All the relevant conditions of the preliminary plat approval shall remain in force for the development. All fees shall be those in effect at the time of final plat approval. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request for a one-year extension of the preliminary plat until October 13, 2016 to create four lots out of the property with the variances for hard cover and setback on Lot 1. The conditions of preliminary plat approval shall remain in effect for review of the final plat. Chanhassen is a Community for Life - Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow Todd Gerhardt Fretham 19a' Addition — Planning Case 2014-08 October 12, 2015 Page 2 of 3 BACKGROUND On October 13, 2014, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following: • Preliminary plat creating four lots, • Hard cover variances for Lots 1 and 3 of 7.4 percent (32.4 % hardcover) and 3.2 percent (28.2% hard cover), respectively; and • Front setback variance for Lot 1 of 10 feet (20 -foot front setback on Bretton Way). On March 11, 2013 the Chanhassen City Council approved the change in nonconforming uses at 6411 Bretton Way and adopted performance standards as a guide to the continuing use of the building. The Chanhassen City Council approved Curry Farms 21 Addition on July 15, 1988. RLS 105 dated 6/17/1988 creates the parcel around the building containing commercial uses. 1986 — Property zoned Single Family Residential (RSF) from RI a (residential agricultural). 1970s — Precision Manufacturing Company, parts manufacturing, tool and die. September 16, 1964 — Registered Land Survey 28 creates the parcels containing the house and buildings as well as many of the parcels in the neighborhood. SUBDIVISION The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to create four single-family lots with a variance from the 25 percent hardcover for Lots 1 and 3, and a setback variance for Lot 1 to move the buildable area away from the existing driveway which serves the property to the northeast. The hard cover request is to permit 32.4 percent impervious surface on Lot 1 and 28.2 percent impervious surface on Lot 3, which is necessary to accommodate an existing driveway serving the properties to the north and not benefiting these lots. The setback variance is to permit a 20 -foot setback from Bretton Way for Lot 1, which will move the house away from the existing driveway. Redevelopment of these parcels with new single-family homes would be beneficial to this neighborhood and the community and eliminate a non -conforming use.
