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.
