#5 Motion to approve CSM 11001-C, 2 lots on West State StreetCommunity Development Department Memorandum
February 14, 2010
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Brad Schmidt, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Final CSM 11001-C, City of Janesville, 2 lots on State Street
SUMMARY
Al Draper has requested the approval of a 3.64 acre, 2-lot Survey. Lot 1 of the Survey
includes an existing single-family residence fronting West State Street. Lot 2 is
currently vacant and will likely be further subdivided in the future. Presently, there are
no plans to develop Lot 2 at this time. The survey includes a 70 foot right-of-way
dedication for the extension of Lapham Street and 35 foot one-half right-of-way for a
portion of Chatham Street. The subject property is zoned R1, Single and Two-Family
Residence District.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission and Community Development Department recommend that the
City Council support a motion to approve Final CSM 11001-C subject to the following
conditions:
1. Payment of assessments for storm sewer ($16,350.87), sidewalk ($16,007.88) and
street lights ($3,250.23) installations as calculated by the Engineering Department
and money in-lieu-of parkland dedication ($1,389.00)
2. Payment of any outstanding special assessments or taxes owed (the applicant
should contact the City Clerk’s office regarding this item).
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager concurs with the recommendation.
ANALYSIS
A. The lots created by this survey comply with the standards of the Subdivision
Ordinance, the R1 Zoning District in which the site is located and approved plans for
the area.
B. The necessary street right-of-way for Lapham and a portion of South Chatham Streets
are being dedicated by the survey. Additional right-of-way for Chatham Street south
of Lapham Street will need to be dedicated if Lot 2 is further subdivided.
C. The survey is subject to special assessments for the installation of storm sewer in the
amount of $16,350.87 and street lights in the amount of $3,250.23.
D. Sidewalks are planned for the Lapham Street frontage of Lots 1 and 2 and Chatham
frontage of Lot 2; therefore, sidewalk assessments ($16,007.88) will be collected with
the survey. The standard note regarding those improvements is included on the
survey.
E. Approved plans for the area do not delineate the need for parkland dedication from the
subject site. As such, payment of money in-lieu-of parkland dedication ($1,389.00) is
required for Lot 2, which creates a new residential development site. Lot 1 is exempt
at this time since it is already developed. If Lot 1 is further divided to create a new
development site, the parkland dedication requirement will apply to that portion of the
Lot.
F. The survey reflects existing easements located on the property. In addition, standard
utility easements as requested by the Engineering Department and those companies
having rights to serve the area have been added to the survey.
G. The applicant should contact the City Clerk’s office for information on any outstanding
special assessments that may come due as a result of this survey.
PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 7 February 2011
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward Final CSM 11001-C to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the conditions listed in Section I.
