Fleming asked for clarifieation that this platting action only requests the division of one Lot into
two,an ,asked about the*lion of a trash receptacle shed located in front of the property.
Wilde stated;that this platting Action will result in the subdivision of one Lot into two Lots that will
be similar in size to the originality platted Lots.Lot 15A is currently improved with a single-family
home,and the newly created Lot 1513 will be slightly larger in order to meet setback requirements for
the single-family home.The preliminary plat shows two encroachments from the proposed Lot 15B
into the undeveloped alley xigbt f way.The surveyor stated that the property owner could have the
temporary shed moved prior to final plat approval. The chain link fence that encroaches
approximately one foot into the same alleyway was constructed without a building permit,as Code
does not require building permits for fences less than seven feet.The encroachment will be allowed
to remain,but not improved upon or reconstructed once it is past its useable life.The proposed Lot
16B is undeveloped,except for a gravel driveway along its north Lot line.The creation of Lot 1613
will not result in any new encroachments or expand any nonconfonnity. To date, Community
Development has received no public comment on this platting action. City Staff have reviewed the
preliminary plat and have no objection,but have stated that they recommend that the property owner
install additional protection around the electric pedestal that is located near the proposed Lot line that
will separate Lots 15B and 1613.
