Analysis
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Manor Place and Morton Avenue.
It is approximately a .91 acre lot with an existing single family home and two accessory
buildings on the property.
The proposed subdivision will create two parcels to allow a second buildable lot. The new
lot will be .55-acres and will contain two accessory buildings and the lot with the existing
house will be .36-acres.

Page 2
The ordinance does not allow accessory buildings without a principle structure. Staff
suggests that a condition of approval be that the property must have a house built on it
within one year or the accessory buildings will be required to be removed. In the past for
similar requests, an escrow of $1,000-2,000 has been required to ensure compliance with the
condition.
The two lots meet the minimum required lot size for the R-lc zoning district. The rear and
side yard building setbacks are met for the existing building.
Grading. Drainage and Utilities
Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo.
Park and Recreation Commission
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended park dedication in the form of cash for
one lot.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Simple Plat request with the following
conditions:
1. ALL COMMENTS OF THE CITY ENGINEER SHALL BE ADDRESSED.
2. PARK DEDICATION FEES FOR ONE LOT SHALL BE PAID PRIOR TO
RELEASING THE SUBDIVISION FOR RECORDING.
3. A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE SHALL BE BUILT ON PARCEL B
WITHIN ONE YEAR OF PLAT APPROVAL OR THE ACCESSORY
BUILDINGS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED. THE
APPLICANT SHALL ESCROW $1,500 TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THIS CONDITION.
4. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEES FOR ONE LOT SHALL BE
PAID PRIOR TO RELEASING THE SUBDIVISION FOR RECORDING.
5. THE APPLICANTS SHALL PROVIDE THE REQUIRED DRAINAGE
AND UTILITY EASEMENTS.

RE: RODNEY ANDERSON ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION
Dear Mr. Leeseberg:
As you requested, we have reviewed the administrative subdivision for Rodney Anderson. It consists
of subdividing a parcel of land on the west side of Morton Avenue, just south of Manor Place, into two
parcels. Parcel B, the newly created piece, is approximately .55 acres, and Parcel A, which has the
existing home on it, is approximately .36 acres. As we discussed, the City ordinance requires that a
simple plat be prepared instead of an administrative subdivision. Because of this requirement, we
have not reviewed the parcel descriptions on the administrative subdivision. When a simple plat is
prepared for this subdivision, the required drainage and utility easements should be provided around
the perimeters of both Parcel A and Parcel B.
The existing home is on Parcel A, and the existing garage is on Parcel B. The new home site will,
therefore, be on Parcel B. There is no indication on the administrative subdivision how sanitary sewer
and water service will be provided to Parcel B. According to City records, there is no sanitary sewer
in Morton Avenue south of Manor Place and no water in Morton Avenue south of Angel Avenue.
According to City ordinance, every individual residence must have its own sewer and water services.
This issue needs to be resolved before final approval is granted.
Based on our review of the administrative subdivision, once a simple plat is prepared in lieu of the
administrative subdivision and the sewer and water issue is resolved, we will be prepared to
recommend approval of this proposed lot split. If you have any questions regarding this issue, please
call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
Terry J."Maurer, P.E.
