August 27, 2013 proposed subdivision is not to create a new developable lot, rather to allow the adjacent property at 1923 3`d Street NW to obtain additional land. The proposal is to subdivide off 2,622 SF of property at the 3rd Street NW frontage, which would then be legally combined with the existing lot adjacent at 1923 Third Street NW. This unique lot configuration is due to a large pond that lies between 3rd Street NW and Bicentennial Court. Both lots, pre and post subdivision, meet the minimum area and width standards of the R -1 Single Family Residential zoning district. City Planner Gundlach explained that City Code Section 26 -18 outlines which projects are eligible for Minor Subdivision approval versus a Preliminary and Final Plat. Due to the fact this subdivision is of small size and conditions are well defined, only a Minor Subdivision was necessary. As stated in Section 26 -18(1) the Council shall hold a public hearing and proper published and mailed notice has been completed to property owners within 350 feet. Staff recommends approval of the request contingent on the applicant legally combining proposed Parcel A with 1923 3rd Street NW.
