#5 Motion to approve certified survey map #11010-C, 2 lots along Newcastle Drive
Community Development Department Memorandum
November 14, 2011
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Brad Schmidt, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Final CSM 11010-C, Joseph Black, 2 Lot CSM along Newcastle Drive.
SUMMARY
Joseph Black has requested the approval of a 0.83 acre two-lot CSM located along
Newcastle Drive. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is being surveyed
in order to create two lots for single-family residential development.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department and Plan Commission recommend that the
City Council support a motion to approve Final CSM 11010-C subject to the addition of
utility easement as requested by the Engineering Department and private utility
companies having rights to serve the area.
CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager concurs with the Plan Commission recommendation.
ANALYSIS
A. The applicant proposes to subdivide a 0.83 acre lot into two separate lots. The
proposed lots are zoned R1-Single and Two-Family Residence and meet the
minimum lot area requirements. The lots are being created in order to be
developed with single family residences. The subject lots are surrounded by
existing single-family residences.
B. The existing lot was originally surveyed in 2009 as part of CSM 09007-C. At that
time, Storm Sewer and Street Light assessments were paid.
C. The Pedestrian Transportation Corridor Plan adopted by the City Council on 14
January 2008 establishes an official sidewalk map that affects all streets in the City
of Janesville. The map identifies the subject portion of Newcastle Drive as part of
the “orange sidewalk” category which signifies future unplanned, unfunded
sidewalk. In accordance with the Sidewalk Ordinance, future unplanned,
unfunded sidewalk will only be constructed at the request of a resident, or as
determined by the Engineering Department. Therefore, this survey is not subject
to special assessments for the construction of sidewalk improvements at this time.
However, sidewalks are planned along the south side of Newcastle Drive directly
across from the subject site.
D. The final survey must include all existing utility easements and additional utility
easements as requested by the utility companies having rights to serve the area.
Existing utility easements remain in effect unless specific action is taken to release
said easements.
IV. PLAN COMMISSION ACTION – 7 November 2011
The Plan Commission unanimously agreed to forward CSM 11010-C to the City
Council with a favorable recommendation subject to the addition of utility easement
as requested by the Engineering Department and private utility companies having
rights to serve the area.
