PL SUBCOM 05/06/1970 - 31079r PLATS & SUBDIVISIOl�S- STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE MAY 6, 1970 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schmedeke at 7:05 P.M. ROLL CALL: Members Present: Meissner, Schmedeke, Zeglen Member Absent: Crowder Others Present: Darrel Clark, Engineering Assistant PAGE 1 l. LOT SPLIT RE UEST: L.S. 4�'70-05, CPL. JAMES L. ROBINSON BY G. D. GIANCOLA, ATTORNEY: Lot 20, Central Avenue Addition to be split so NZ is 68 feet, S� is 67 feet. (126 feet West of Central Avenue and North of Brook Street.� Mr. Giancola, representing James Robinson, Mr. J. L. Winters and Mr. R. C. Sundbert of Skelly Oil Company were present. The Engineering Assistant explained that Lots 1 to 20, Central Avenue Addition are under one ownership, and if the rezoning were approved, Skelly Oil Co. would own Lots 1 to 6, Lot 9, and part of Lot 20 leaving the remainder under the petitioner's ownership. Parcel 400, immediately to the West of Central Avenue Addition from 73rd Avenue approximately 630 feet South, is being purchased by James Determan who owns in fee simple the SZ of Lot l, Auditor's Subdivision and has a contract for the Nz. He has made an inquiry to buy the remainder of the Central Avenue Addition en toto. Parcel 300 to the South of Central Avenue Addition is owned by Irving Hafner. The Engineering Assistant further e�lained that the reason for the lot split request was to create a 1ot which would meet the present zoning ordinance requirements for a commercial building. There is no problem as far as meeting the Code description for lot splits. Brook Street (South edge of Central Avenue Addition) has never been used and the Subcommittee felt should now be vacated. The 30 foot street would be returned to the plat which would help towards making a buildable site for Lots 7, 8 and SZ of Lot 20. Zeglen felt the Subcommittee could recommend the Lot Split with the stipulation that the S2 of Lot 20 be tied in with Lots 7 and 8 so that whoever would buy Lots 7 anc� 8 would also purchase the Sz of Lot 20. Attention was called to the fact that the remaining land, after Skelly Oil purchased the parcel they are interested in, would all be zoned M-1 (light industrial), except for five 40 foot lots along 73rd Avenue. MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Meissner, that the Plats & Subdivisions- Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend to the PZanning Commission that the Lot 5plit #70-05, CpI. James L. Robinson by G. D. Giancola, Attorney, to split Lot 20, Central Avenue Addition, i� nalf creating a 68 foot lot Plats & Subs Str & Util Subcom Meeting - May 6 Page 2 from the North Half and a 67 foot lot from the South Half�be approved providing that the South Half of Lot 20 is contingent in a sale with Lots 7 and 8 whenever they are sold. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 2. LOT SPLIT RE UEST• L.S. ��70-07, ALBERT H. HARTMANN: Six foot triangular parcel from Lot 20, Block 2, Sandhurst Addition added to Lot 19, to provide more room for existing driveway. Mr. and Mrs. Hartmann were present. Mr. Hartmann explained that they and the Trezonas would like to keep the existing driveway at 16 feet at the point where it meets Hartman Circle. The agreement was for him to put the driveway at its present location when his garage was built in order to have a straight approach to the street. The two driveways are separated by a small is�and where the mailboxes and shrubbery are placed. Mr. Hartmann also brought in the quit claim deed from the Trezonas deeding the triangular piece to them. The Engineering Assistant said, because this was abstract property, the legal description would not be too difficult to file. MOTION by Meissner, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & 5ubdivisions- Streets & Utilities Subcommittee approve the Lot Split #70-07 by Albert H. Hartmann to split a six foot triangular parcel from Lot 20, Block 2, Sand- hurst Addition and add to Lot 19 to provide more room for the existing driveway. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. �f70-06, GEORGE L. WALQUIST: Lot 6 and SZ of Lot 7, Block l, Erco's lst Addition. Site for dental clinic. The petitioner was not present. The following discussion showed that the dental clinic was within the zoning category; there is a North/South easement going down the middle of Block 1 between Lots 5 and 6 and Lots 4 and 7; the front footage of the request is 139 feet; the new Zoning Ordinance requires 200 feet for C-2 property. The Subcommittee agreed that problems with the older plats and small sized lots, would be coming up in the future where there would not be enough land to meet the requirements of the new Zoning Ordinance adopted November 3, 1969. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the new Zoning Ordinance referred to new plats, the requirements being for larger lots than those of the older plats and with no provisions made for the type of a problem the Walquist request presents. There were no objections to the building, but the Subcom- mittee felt they could not act on the request according to the new ordinance when the footage is not large enough, and hoped that the thinking of the Plan- ning Commission and Council about the variations of this type, which are bound to come up in the future, would give them some direction to follow. MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Meissner, that the Plats & Subdivisions- Streets & Utilities Subcommittee table the Lot Split Request, L.S. #70-06 by George L. Walquist to split off the South Half of Lot 7, Block 1, Erco's lst Addition until the feeling of the Planning Commission and Council is 0 Plats & Subs -Str & Util. Subcom. Mtg. May 6, 1970 Page 3 received regarding the requirement of 200 feet frontage for C-2 property relating to the older plats and small 1ots. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 5. STUDY OF TRAFFIC SIGNS AT T.H. ��47 AND INTERSTATE ��694: Chairman Schmedeke showed the sketch he had made of a suggested plan for signs to be placed on the facing of the 4�694 bridge. A map showing all the traffic signs at ��694 and University Avenue intersection was discussed. In the afternoon, the Chairman and the Engineering Assistant visited the site to review the hazards at that intersection. The Chairman requested the number of accidents at several intersections from the Police Department which will be available at the next meeting. The Engineering Assistant suggested that he be requested to contact the Traffic Engineer of the State Highway Department to get his opinion on what can or can't be done. He stated, inasmuch as the Subcommittee is a recom- mending body, the more information they can get together, the more help it will be. This item was continued to the next meeting. 6. CONSIDERATION OF A NEW AND SHORTER NAME FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE: In answer to a memo from the City Manager referring to a suggestion of a new name for the Subcommittee, he submitted "Development and Utilities Subcommittee". The City Engineer suggested the duties of the Subcommittee should be defined before a new title is given. This item was continued. ADJOURNMENT : MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Meissner, that the Plats & Subdivisions- Streets & Utilities Subcommi.ttee meeting of May 6, 1970 be adjourned at 7:50 P.M.
