Street and is zoned S-1/Residential. Filed by Leigh Anne Ferrell with Stoeppelwerth on behalf of the property
owners.
IPetitioner: Michael&Mary Beth Fleming,property owners:
• We have owned this property for the past 33 years
• We will retain our existing home on Lot 1. We want to offer the sale of Lot 2 for another single-family home
• Henley Creek flows through from NW to SE
• Access for both lots will remain from the existing driveway,off of 136th Street
• We have not experienced any flooding problems from the on-site creek in the past 33 years
Department Report: Alexia Lopez:
• This is the first Minor Subdivision public hearing we've had since the new UDO has been in place
• They are proposing 2 lots on the 8.5 acres and both lots will share the existing driveway off of 136th Street
• The existing home on Lot 1 will remain and the future home on Lot 2 will be placed closer to 136th Street
• The Henley Open Drain will be preserved in a regulated drainage easement
• The full ROW and multi-use path are currently present along this section of 136th Street
• Staff recommends suspending the Rules of Procedure and to approve this item conditioned upon final approval
from the Engineering Department
Committee Comments:
Christine: Why would you not have another access drive for the(future)new home on Lot 2.Mary Fleming: Our
existing opening off of 136th to our driveway is wide enough. We didn't want to go through any additional approvals from
the City for an additional curb cut.Brad: An access easement to complete this driveway would come later after the new
owner would know where they would add their drive access off the existing drive.Alexia Lopez: Correct.
IBrad: Lot 2 is oddly shaped,with the sideyards being narrow. Mary Fleming: There's still an adequate amount of space
for the new home to be placed to meet all setback requirements. The drainage easement of Henley Creek creates a narrow
westward sideyard.
