Commissioner Fish made a motion to continue the Public Hearing to
consider a request by John Addington to partition 0.95 acres into three
parcels and vary from the lot size requirements on two of the three parcels.
Commissioner Gilkey seconded the motion. All said "aye" and the motion
passed.
B. Public Hearing to consider a request by Victor Kosmatka to develop East Cherry
Estates a Tentative Plan for an 81ot (Padlot) subdivision on the north side of
Cherrv Street west of its intersection with North 10th Street in the R-3 zonine
district.
There were no conflicts of interest or ex-parte communications.
Tom Humphrey reviewed the Planning Department Staff Report. The eight
padlots satisfy the zoning criteria for the district and the azea and frontage
requirements have been met. The 3/4 garage does not meet city requirements for
two off-street covered parking spots and would need to be dealt with in the future,
but should not affect the request for the Tentative Plan for the subdivision.
Lee Brennan, Public Works Director reviewed the Public Works Staff Report.
The city may require additional dedication of easements and right-of--way to
match the existing conditions and to incorporate the existing infrastructure. A 10-
foot wide P.U.E. should be required on the north side of the Cherry Street right-
of-way, on Lots 1 through 8. Further subdivision will also result in some street
excavation to increase the number of service lateral connections. Public Works
will require the developer to overlay the northern half of Cherry Street to maintain
its structural integrity after excavation. The applicant will also be required to
underground the overhead utilities and remove the existing utility poles. He may
be required to provide a private storm drain as no lot would be allowed to drain
onto another.
Victor Kosmatka, applicant, addressed some of the staff concerns, and assured the
Commission that he would be able to conform to the requirements
Commissioner Gilkey made a motion to adopt Resolution 436 to develop East
Cherry Estates, a Tentative Plan for an 81ot (padlot) subdivision on the
north side of Cherry Street west of its intersection with North 10th Street in
City of Central Point
