The applicants have been working with the City on getting a site plan worked out for the site. The applicants plan on demolishing two older buildings and putting in a four-plex. There is a mature sequoia tree on the westerly side of the property, that the Planning and Public Works Department would like to save. `The applicants have been informed of this and are able to reconstruct the site with less parking demands to save the tree. The parking can be reduced because of the new zoning from 8 to 6 required parking lots. The Planning Department recommended to continue this item until the February Planning Commission to work out design issues.

Public Hearing to consider a tentative land partition to create two tax lots of 11.094 and 28 349 square feet from an existing 0 90 acre parcel The subject property is IocatedinandR-1-8 Residential Single-PamilvZoning District on Map372W36CD, Tax Lot 3500. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Department Staff Report. The applicant, Ms. LaFon, has requested partition her lot into two tax lots, one of .25 acres and 0.65 acres. Mr. LaFon would like to retain the existing dwelling on the larger of the two lots and can meet the setback requirements with the lot configuration being proposed. The Planning Department would like to ask that no buildings occur inbetween Ms. LaFon's current house and the proposed second lot. This could possibly be used as a 30' wide access lane for the property to the West that would allow future development potential since it would be unlikely that Jackson County who controls access to Hamrick Road, would allow any additional vehicle access. Mr. Gerschler noted that this application was similar to another near the corner of West Pine Street and Hanley Road where subdivision development engulfed a large parcel with exclusive access to a County Road. Property owners at that time questioned why the City had not assisted in "planning" that would maintain development potential. The Public Works Department is asking for an additional 2' of Right of Way, and a 10' Public Utility Easement along Ms. LaFon's property boardings Naples Drive. Sidewalks will also be required for both parcels. The Agent for the Applicant, Herb Farber, stated he would like the sidewalks tied to a building permit on the newly created Parcel 1. Also, it is impossible to know if the property owners to the West will ever want to develop their property. Commissioner Fish made adopt Resolution Number 508, approving the Tentative Minor Land Partition of 372W36CD, Tax Lot 3500 subject to the recommended conditions of approval (Exhibits C and D).

Last year, the Commission approved Phase 1 ofthe Miller Estates Pinal Development Plan which has subsequently been final platted. One of the conditions of approval by the Public Works Department and approved by the Commission was to place all of the lots in Phase I within the 100-year flood plain.

In fact, City staffbelieve that further study of Griffin Creek will actually result in a narrower map boundary.

Instead of building three new bridges the applicants would like to use the bridge that will be constructed as part of the street. Some issues still need to be worked out with the applicants and it was the Planning Department recommendation to continue this item until next February's Planning Commission.
