Description/Background:
The applicants, Robert & Carrie Meek, are requesting preliminary subdivision review for the property at 3761 E. Little Cottonwood Ln. The proposal consists of subdividing the existing lot into two residential lots and dedicating a portion of land for future street improvements. The applicant is also requesting a special exception to not provide the standard street improvements along Little Cottonwood Lane and 3775 East Street.
Please see the attached staff report found in the associated subdivision file and the related exhibits for full details of the application.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve a special exception to waive additional street improvements on Little Cottonwood Lane, and reduce the half width dedication of 3775 East by four and a half feet (4.5’) (which includes a parkstrip waiver) for the Meek Subdivision based on the following findings:
Findings:
1. That the proposed configuration equitably balances the needs of the public and presents the most efficient use of the land with standard lot shapes.
2. The exceptions allow for a continuation of the precedence of adjoining improvements.
3. It will maintain pedestrian safety and walkability.
4. That the City Engineer and Director has recommended approval.
5. That the proposed street widths conform with Fire Access Road requirements.
