WORK SESSION
1. APPEAL OF A DIRECTOR’S DECISION – ZON2004-00028 - TOLBERT –
The applicant has received tentative approval for a 2-parcel partition. Since there is not enough room for the required 26’-wide panhandle due to the location of an existing house, staff conditioned the approval with a
26’-wide easement. The applicant proposes a 26’-wide panhandle for the first 10’ (after the 5’ ROW
dedication) which would gradually be reduced to 20’ thereafter. If this proposal is permitted, there is no need for Conditions 7 and 8 which require easements for utility lines.
The applicant is also appealing Conditions 2, 4 and 5 which require the installation of a sidewalk and curb cut for parcel 2, and a curb cut and paved driveway for Parcel 1 prior to Final Plat approval.
Planner: Sarah Summers 15 Minutes
2. APPEAL OF DIRECTOR’S DECISION – ZON2004-00027 - MCDONALD –
The applicant has received tentative approval for a 3-parcel partition. The applicant is appealing Conditions 3. 4, 6, 8 and 9 which require installation of the panhandle driveway and utilities including sanitary sewer and
storm water management facilities prior to Final Plat approval.
The applicant states that there is no code section cited by the City as a basis for installations being done prior
to Final Plat approval. The Director’s decision contains findings which demonstrate that the conditions of
approval are based on SDC 34.050 Criteria of Approval 3.
The applicant also indicates that he believes that bringing utilities to the property line along the street of
panhandle parcels is sufficient to accommodate the proposed development as specified in SDC Article 31 and 32. Based on experience, City policy is to extend the services and driveways to each of the buildable portions
of the new parcels.
