STAFF REVIEW

 

The subject property is a developed subdivision that includes apartment type buildings. The subject property is located along Brighton Circle just north of W. 15th Street. The proposed plat consolidates three existing lots into a single lot to remove the interior lot lines. The two western buildings were constructed in 1993 according to the Appraiser’s Office (SP-12-72-92). The 1992 site plan only approved the construction of the two 4-plex buildings. The triplex building appears to have been constructed in November of 1993. A triplex would not have required the submission of a site plan.

 

The property is zoned for multi-family uses. The multi-family housing was constructed as a single development under a single ownership and therefore was not required to conform to the interior lot lines. The current property owner has indicated a desire to sell individual units within the development and is re-platting to remove the interior lot line encumbrance.

 

The plat proposes to dedicate an additional utility easement along the south line of what is now Lot 6R.  There are no interior utility easements that will be vacated by this plat.  

 

Conformance

The RM-1 (Multiple-Family Residence) District requires 3,500 SF per dwelling unit (12.5 dwelling units per acre). There are 11 units on the total acreage. The zoning density based on lot area would allow a total of 13 dwelling units. The proposed lot configuration and size conforms to the existing zoning code. The overall lot depth and width conform to the minimum standards of the RM-1 District. There is no development/construction associated with this replat. The intent is to “clean-up” the lot configuration to allow for individual sale of dwelling units.

 

Recommendation:  Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat of Stone Meadows-West #4 and forwarding it to the City Commission with a recommendation for acceptance of easements subject to the following conditions:

 

  1. Provision of a copy of the maintenance and access agreement to staff for the plat file; and
  2. Provision of the following fees and recording documentation:

a.      Copy of paid property tax receipt;

b.      Recording fees made payable to the Douglas County Register of Deeds;

c.      Provision of a master street tree plan.
