So this is a preliminary plat and final plat together for Emittsburg edition and it is basically taking three existing parcels of land and replotting them as two parcels of land. And the reason it's being applied instead of a minor subdivision is so that lot one here can be less than the 5 acre minimum. So they're we're using that density averaging and that's within the subdivision regulations in order to do that.

They are requesting um a conditional use permit to allow Ton Avenue Northwest to not be paved as your ordinance would allow for a conditional use permit for that. And then separately, they've applied for a variance application to request that you also not require them to complete the subgrade and um aggregate base improvements on this.

So, you know, in looking at this, the the chance of that uh road going through anytime soon is is probably not going to happen. But when maybe that southern area does develop, if it ever does, how how would it be what would the requirements be to complete that road?

So both do you need to um that would be up to the city I guess. Um both myself and the city engineer would recommend that you do that that we um both of us have had plenty of circumstances where something seems like it's going to be there for a very long time and it redevelops.

My only concern is in the previous July 28th meeting, there was reference made to the antenna tower. There was a 21-year lease on it... That's what that's only my comment is that it um who knows what's going to happen after the lease and that antenna goes and someone else takes over the lease. That original antenna was one segment higher, a little bit thinner and they took it down and it went down to another region in the US had refurbished. But that's my only concerns. There's a gray area that's kind of nebulous out there. We may or may not affect road. Thank you.

Um, I understand the applicant's reasoning for deferring these items, but I also am really against the idea of not having it completed. Um, we'll get stuck with a dirt road. We accept one part of it, not all of it. And if we just define all of it, then at least we have a to um that's where I said that not to

I would recommend that we change number 18 to be that the subject property may be finaled in multiple phases to give them some options there. And then I would also recommend based on your previous action that you add a um a new condition number one. Put it right up at the front that Tonto Avenue Northwest shall be installed in compliance with city standards at the time of development [clears throat] of any phase that includes the residential lots.

Yeah. The main thing is to allow multiple phases so that they can decide to not plant that residential area.

So, we wanted to discuss the um the sections of the ordinance that are going to be the most um commonly used but also probably the most impactful changes to residents as well. So there's a few different efforts here with this ordinance update and you know two of those key efforts are that we're trying to make the document much more user friendly for residents to follow and understand and find what they need to find in there in terms of organization. But then we're also trying to find ways to um make the ordinances um less restrictive.

So, for example, um minimum frontage on a public street... you'll see that in the RRT district the committee is proposing to reduce that down to 100 ft of frontage... this gives some people that are that have enough land but not enough frontage some ability to still um potentially subdivide and split off a lot.

So, what we did here is again we took out a lot of language. So, we took out language related to um structures needing to be that they can't be located nearer to the front lot line than the home unless they are at least 300 ft set back from the center line of the street. So, that has been removed in this proposed draft.

But we did add it to this one. Um, and I'll point out that the intention is that if you construct an ADU that is a detached accessory structure as opposed to being part of your house, that counts towards those accessory structure limits. So, that's one of the reasons as well that we bumped [clears throat] up the numbers to give people that option to construct those.
