Held by Planning Commission 18 September 2017
BACKG R O U N D/J USTI FI CATI ON:
Ms. Betty Benson, together with two abutting property owners, has submitted a certificate of survey to
adjust lot lines for four parcels along the east side of Mason Avenue. No new lots are being subdivided.
The purpose of the lot line adjustment is to "square" the parcels and make for more logical boundaries
based on conditions in the field. The lot line adjustment can be approved administratively as a minor
subdivision in accordance with Chapter 2 of the Subdivision Ordinance. However, one of the resulting
parcels has a lot width less than that required for the Zoning Ordinance. To allow the reduced lot width,
the property owners have requested approval of a Planned Unit Development -Conditional Use Permit
(PUD -CUP). An amendment of the Zoning Map will also rezone one of the subject sites from A-1 District to
A-2 District. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on 18 September 2017 to consider the
application. Betty Benson and Laura Benson were present as the applicants. There were no comments
from the public. The Planning Commission had no questions or comments regarding the application. The
public hearing was closed and the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend City Council approval of
the application.

RE: Otsego — Holy Ground; PUD-CUP/Lot Line Adjustment
TPC FILE: 101.01
BACKGROUND
Ms. Betty Benson, together with two abutting property owners, has submitted a certificate of
survey to adjust lot lines for four parcels along the east side of Mason Avenue. No new lots are
being subdivided. The purpose of the lot line adjustment is to "square" the parcels and make
for more logical boundaries based on conditions in the field. The lot line adjustment can be
approved administratively as a minor subdivision in accordance with Chapter 2 of the
Subdivision Ordinance. However, one of the resulting parcels has a lot width less than that
required for the Zoning Ordinance. To allow the reduced lot width, the property owners have
requested approval of a Planned Unit Development -Conditional Use Permit (PUD -CUP). A
public hearing to consider the application has been noticed for the Planning Commission
meeting on 18 September 2017 at 7:OOPM.

ANALYSIS
Zoning. Parcels A, B, and D are zoned A-2, Agriculture Long Range Urban Service District,
whereas Parcel C is zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District. Parcels A, B, and D were
approved apart of the Holy Ground final plat in 2002, which included a conditional use permit
allowing lots less than 20 acres in area and lot widths less than 450 feet. Parcel C is an existing
lot of record as of 14 October 2014 and is required to have a minimum lot area of one acre and
minimum width of 150 feet.
Lot Requirements. All of the parcels are required to have a minimum lot area of one acre and
minimum lot width of 150 feet. The table below describes the existing lot area and lot width of
each parcel and that which is being proposed on the submitted certificate of survey:
Parcel
Existing

Min. Setback

262ft.
1.52ac.
196ft.
D
14.69ac.
150ft.
13.29ac.
66ft.
All of the proposed parcels comply with the minimum lot area and width requirements
established by the Zoning Ordinance, except Parcel D. The Certificate of Survey adjusts lot
lines such that the 150 foot wide portion of Parcel D abutting Mason Avenue is attached to
Parcel B; The south lot line for Parcel C is to be adjusted to attach the south 66 feet of that
parcel to Parcel D. The adjustment in boundaries between Parcels C and D reflect the in-place
driveway across Parcel C used to access the single family dwelling on Parcel D. The 66 foot
width of the driveway corridor to Mason Avenue is such so as to allow for the opportunity to
dedicate right-of-way and construct a public street access at such time in the future when
Parcel D may be further subdivided. Allowance of the lot width less than 150 feet for Parcel D
may be allowed by approval of a PUD -CUP.
Setbacks. The table below summarizes the minimum setback requirements applicable to each
existing and proposed parcel. All of the existing buildings within the proposed parcels will
comply with minimum setback requirements for each yard.
Yard
Front
Side
Rear
Min. Setback
35ft.
10ft.
50ft.
Easements. The Certificate of Survey does not identify drainage and utility easements at the
perimeter of each parcel. A 10 foot drainage and utility easement is required by Section 21-7-
15 of the Subdivision Ordinance at the perimeter of each parcel (5 feet each side of common lot
lines) and must be shown on a revised Certificate of Survey. The revised Certificate of Survey
must also dedicate a 40 foot right-of-way easement for Mason Avenue for each parcel
consistent with the Transportation Plan designation of the roadway as a Minor Collector Street.
Utilities. Each parcel is currently served by on-site septic and well utilities. The proposed lot
line adjustment as shown on the Certificate of Survey will not affect the existing utilities serving
the parcel.
N
Park Dedication. The proposed lot line adjustment does not result in subdivision of any new
lots. As there are no new lots created, the proposed lot line adjustment does not impact the
City's park and trail system. No park dedication is required as part of the proposed lot line
adjustment.
Criteria. Consideration of the PUD -CUP application is to be based upon, but not limited to, the
criteria established in Section 20-2-4.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The subject sites are guided for future low density residential
development within Urban Service Expansion Area W2. Low density residential
development will not occur until such time as sanitary sewer and water utilities are
extended. In the interim, the subject sites are allowed development of rural residential
uses at a density not to exceed one dwelling per 10 acres. Parcels A, 8, and D were
approved as an interim rural residential plat consistent the Comprehensive Plan and
Parcel C is an existing lot of record. The proposed lot line adjustment and PUD -CUP to
allow Parcel D to have a lot width of 66 feet does not intensify or even alter the existing
development in the area and is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for
interim rural land uses.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Comment: As the proposed lot line adjustment and PUD -CUP will not intensify or
alter the character of existing development of the subject sites, there will be no
compatibility issues created with surrounding rural residential uses or future low density
residential development.
The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Comment: The proposed lot line adjustment will comply with all requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance except as modified by the PUD -CUP.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The proposed lot line adjustment and PUD -CUP will not result in any
increase in traffic generation.
The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and
will not overburden the City's service capacity.
Comment: The proposed lot line adjustment and PUD -CUP will not intensify or alter
the character of existing development of the subject sites, which are currently
accommodated within the City's existing service capacity.
RECOMMENDATION
Our office recommends approval of a PUD -CUP to allow Parcel D to have a lot width of 66 feet
subject to the conditions outlined below.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
A. Motion to recommend approval of a PUD -CUP for Parcel D to allow a minimum lot
width of 66 feet subject to the following conditions:
1. The parcel shall comply with the minimum lot area requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.
The parcel and all principal or accessory buildings shall comply with the
minimum setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Motion to recommend the application be denied based on a finding that the request is
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and intent of the Zoning Ordinance.
C. Motion to table.
