I I I Council Meeting Minutes September 12, 1989 Page 4 Public Hearing - 7:50-8:00 p.m. Erny Mattila presented for consideration approval of a request to subdivide an existing single family parcel on Valley View Drive into two single family lots. He noted there was already a single family home with detached garage on the parcel which would remain on the smaller of the proposed two lots. Both proposed parcels would meet code requirements for single family lots. The existing cul-de-sac right-of-way should be expanded to accommodate the reconstruction of the Valley View Lane cul-de-sac to City standards. This expansion would require the dedication of approximately 10 more feet of right-of-way! from the parcel. A 33 foot wi de secti on of pub 1 i c ri ght-of-way extends along the north property 1 i ne of the parcel from Valley Vi ew Lane to Sil ver Lake Road. A 10 inch sanitary sewer line is located within said right-of-way. A private driveway to the proposed lot would be acceptable over the subject right-of-way. Benke asked if the City owns the property on the easterly of the parcel and if there are plans to develop the parcel. confirmed that the City does own the parcel on the easterly and has previously tried to sell it. boundary Mattil a boundary Gunderman asked if the Parks and Recreation Department has planned to develop the area for park purposes. Mattila said currently the Parks Department does not have plans for development of the parcel. The parcel is not considered a designated park area, but the possible future development of walkways and bikepaths may be considered. Larson commented that he 1 i ves near the parcel and feels the existing trees should be retained to help shield the parcel from the large amount of traffic on Silver Lake Road. Mattila noted that the parcel measures 74,000 square feet and is adequately sized for more than one single family home. Benke feels consideration should be given in the restriction of access from Valley Vi ew Road to Sil ver Lake Road. Larson agrees that creating an access from Valley View Road could cause considerable safety hazards. Larson feels a condition should be added to the resolution stating a restriction of an access off Valley View Road. The proposed subdivision would exceed the R-1 district lot requirements and would comply with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. A park dedication fee of $750 would be required to be paid upon approval and recording of the proposed minor subdivision.
