RE: Otsego — Sausser Addition
REPORT DATE: 2 March 2017
ACTION DEADLINE: 31 March 2017
TPC FILE: 101.02
BACKGROUND
Mr. William Sausser owns a 40.28 acre parcel north of 60th Street between Oakwood Avenue
and Packard Avenue developed with one single family dwelling. The subject site is guided by
the Comprehensive Plan for future low density residential uses and is currently zoned A-1,
Agriculture Rural Service District. The property owner is requesting approval of a Zoning Map
amendment rezoning to A-2, Agriculture Long Range Urban Service District, a CUP allowing lot
areas in the A-2 District with less than 20 acres, and a preliminary/final plat to subdivide three
lots. A public hearing has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 6 March 2017
to consider the application.
Exhibits:
A. Site Location
B. Preliminary/Final Plat.
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The subject site is guided for future low density residential uses within
Urban Service Expansion Area E2 by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan. Until such time as sanitary
sewer and water utilities area available to the subject site, the interim land use plan policies of
the 2012 Comprehensive Plan limit development density to 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres. The
subject site is allowed four development rights. The existing single family dwelling accounts for
one of the development rights and the three lots proposed by the preliminary/final plat will
utilize the remaining three development rights. All of the parcels must be deed restricted to
prohibit further subdivision until rezoned to allow for future development of low density
residential uses served by sanitary sewer and water utilities as guided by the Comprehensive
Plan.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned A-1 District, which allows development of single family
dwellings at a density of one dwelling unit per 40 acres and minimum lot size of 20 acres for lots
established after October 2002. The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the subject site to A-2
District allowing for development at one dwelling unit per 10 acres and subdivision of three lots
each with less than 20 acres in area for a single family dwelling by approval of a conditional use
permit consistent with the interim land use plan established by the Comprehensive Plan. The
existing single family dwelling will remain within a 32.87 acre lot as a permitted use.
Lot Requirements. Lots within the A-2 District must have a minimum area of 20 acres and
minimum width of 450 feet. To maintain contiguous tracts of land for future urban
development, the A-2 District requires that subdivided lots conform either to this minimum lot
area of 20 acres or that all but one lot not exceed 2.5 acres in area subject to approval of a
conditional use permit. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the existing single family
dwelling onto a lot having an area of 32.87 acres and subdivide three lots with an area of 2.0
acres or less. Section 20-52-5.1-1 of the Zoning Ordinance allows for the creation of lots less than
20 acres in area within the A-2 District by conditional use permit based on compliance with the
following criteria:
1. All other applicable requirements of Section 20-52-6 of this Chapter are
complied with.
2. A concept plan utilizing all development rights allowed by Section 20-52-
6.B of this Chapter is submitted and recorded with the subdivision.
3. Lots are to be clustered and the overall subdivision designed in such a
manner so as to provide for logical future street and utility extensions.
4. No lot shall be less than one (1) acre in size or 150 feet in width.
5. The maximum lot size for clustered lots in the Urban Service Reserve Area
shall be two and one-half (2.5) acres except if one of the following
conditions is met:
a. Topography, soils, wetlands, or other natural features dictate a
larger minimum lot area.
2
b. The location of existing buildings cannot be fully accommodated in
compliance with applicable setback requirements of Section 20-
52-6.0 of this Chapter.
C. One (1) development right as allowed by Section 20-52-6.B of this
Chapter is used for a dwelling located on the present parcel
outside of the residential cluster.
6. A resubdivision plan for future division of each lot with availability of
municipal sanitary sewer service is submitted and recorded on the deed
for each lot. Principal and accessory buildings shall be located on each lot
in conformance with all present and future setback requirements based
on the resubdivision plan.
7. A deed restriction is placed on the parcel exercising development rights
and all subdivided lots to prohibit additional subdivision unless is
conforms to applicable zoning district requirements.
8. Each lot is capable of accommodating a private well and septic system.
9. The provisions of Section 20-4-2.F of this Chapter are considered and
satisfactorily met.
The three proposed lots all front to 60th Street. Two lots are clustered at the southwest corner
of the parcel with a 60 foot corridor between for a future public right-of-way to be developed
with subdivision of the 32.87 acre parcel when sanitary sewer and water utilities are available.
The third proposed lot is located at the southeast corner of the subject site. The design of the
proposed preliminary/final plat is appropriate for ensuring logical resubdivision of the
32.87acre parcel in the future. However, the City Engineer's office has stated that plat
documents with non-contiguous lots/blocks as shown are not acceptable; as such the 32.87
acre parcel must also be included in the preliminary/final plat as a lot.
Access. The subject site and existing single family dwelling is accessed from 60th Street, which
is a gravel rural section roadway within prescriptive easement. The 2012 Transportation Plan
designates 60th Street as a future major residential collector street. The preliminary/final plat
provides for dedication of 40 feet of the north half of 60th Street consistent with the right-of-
way requirements established by the Subdivision Ordinance and Engineering Manual. Direct
lot access to major residential collector streets is prohibited. Access to the proposed two lots
at the southwest corner of the subject site will be allowed via a shared driveway within the 60
foot wide future public right-of-way, which would be replaced by a public street upon future
subdivision of the 32.87 acre parcel when sanitary sewer and water utilities are available. The
proposed lot at the southeast corner of the subject site should be shifted 30 feet west and a 30
foot wide outlot deeded to the City for future right-of-way for when the parcel to the east is
3
subdivided. The lot will be required to locate its driveway to access 60th Street within the
outlot, which will eventually be replaced by public street.
Setbacks. The table below illustrates the required setbacks applicable to the subject sites and
the proposed lots to be subdivided. The proposed lots will be required provide for a 35 foot
setback for the future local streets between the two proposed lots at the southwest corner of
the subject site and the outlot to the east of the proposed lot at the southeast corner of the
subject site. Setbacks from wetlands as required by Section 20-16-5.F.4.b of the Zoning
Ordinance must also be shown on the preliminary/final plat.

Grading Plan. No grading plan has been submitted for the proposed subdivision. The
applicant is required to provide a wetland delineation report for the preliminary/final plat. A
vegetative buffer overlaid by conservation and drainage and utility easements is required for
all delineated wetlands by Section 20-16-5.F.4.d of the Zoning Ordinance. The wetland
delineation report and all grading, drainage, and erosion control issues are subject to review
and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10 foot wide drainage and
utility easements at the perimeter of the proposed lot. The required drainage and utility
easements are shown on the preliminary/final plat and are subject to review and approval by
the City Engineer.
Utilities. The proposed lots would be served by individual on-site septic and well utilities. The
applicant has submitted soil boring reports for the proposed subdivision. Construction of a
single family dwelling on each of the three lots will require provision of a septic system with
primary and secondary drainfield sites. The suitability of the lots to accommodate on site
utilities is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Park and Trail Dedication. The subdivision of the subject site to create three additional lots
requires dedication of land or payment of a cash fee in lieu of land for park and trail dedication.
City staff recommends that the applicant pay a cash fee in lieu of land for the three additional
lots subdivided by the preliminary/final plat satisfying park and trail dedication requirements
due with this application.
Development Agreement. There are no public improvements to be constructed as part of the
preliminary/final plat. As such, it is not necessary for the applicant to execute a development
agreement with the City for the preliminary/final plat.
9
Criteria. Consideration of the requested Zoning Map amendment and conditional use permit
applications is to be based upon, but not limited to, the criteria outlined in Section 20-3-2.F and
Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official
City Comprehensive Plan.
