#5 Approve final certified survey map 10002-C
Community Development Department Memorandum
February 8, 2009
TO: City Council
FROM: Duane Cherek, Manager of Planning Services
SUBJECT: Final CSM 10002-C, Donald & Leo Marklein, 2 lots along Autumn Lane
and Lucey Street.
I. RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend
that the City Council support the release of existing utility easements within the
survey area and then support a motion to approve Final CSM 10002-C.
II. REQUEST
Don and Leo Marklein have submitted a two lot survey of land located along
Autumn Lane and Lucey Street. The survey has been prepared to reflect a lot
line adjustment on two previously platted lots (Lot 50 & 51) in the Meadows
Northeast Second Addition. The common lot line between the subject lots is
being shifted approximately 10 feet to the south to accommodate the applicant’s
building plans for the construction of a two-family residence on proposed Lot 1.
The lot line adjustment and CSM will also require City Council approval of a
release of two existing six-foot wide utility easements located along the common
lot line.
III. ANALYSIS
A. The survey area includes two vacant platted lots zoned R1-Single and Two-
Family Residence District. Both lots were previously granted a conditional
use permit to allow for the construction of a two-family residence on each lot.
The proposed lots comply with the standards of the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances.
B. The applicant is requesting the release of existing 6-foot utility easements on
proposed Lot 1. No utility lines or services are currently located within the
existing easement. The easement was originally dedicated on the subdivision
plat to provide electric service for a street light situated in the terrace area
adjoining the lots, however, electric service was extended from an alternative
source and the easement is no longer necessary for public purposes. The
applicant has secured a separate release from the other private utility service
providers having rights to the easement. The final survey includes a note
releasing the City’s interest in the easement.
C. Since the property has been previously platted, land division assessments for
street lights, sidewalks, and storm sewer were previously levied. The survey
includes the standard sidewalk note referencing the planned installation of
sidewalk improvements along the Autumn Lane and Lucey Street frontage of
the lots. The survey also delineates the location of an existing sanitary sewer
easement located along the west property line of Lot 2.
D. The applicant should contact the City Clerk’s Office regarding any outstanding
taxes, special assessments, or other fees which must be paid.
IV. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 1 FEBRUARY 2010
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward Final CSM 10002-C to the
City Council with a favorable recommendation.
