PLATTING BOARD MEETING Page 14 May 4, 2005 Engineering the need to abandon or relocate the driveway directly across from 56 th Avenue,” amending condition 5.d to change the word “median prior to recording a final plat” to "signal prior to recording a final plat." BOARD MEMBER LINNELL seconded. BOARD MEMBER WALSH supported her motion, stating it is obvious from review of the information that considerable research, engineering, and discussion has occurred with interested parties. The main concern expressed tonight has to do with the access to neighboring property owners, particularly at 56 th Avenue. The petitioner’s suggested conditions respond to those concerns in a positive way. AYE: Caress, Phelps, Linnell, Shriver, McKay, Walsh, Kreger NAY: None PASSED b. S-11358-1 Ward Subdivision. Robin Ward. To subdivide one parcel into nine lots. Located south of Kincaid Road, East of Jodphur Street, and north of West Kendale Circle. Staff member SHARON FERGUSON reviewed the request for the Board involving an undeveloped 10-acre subdivision of Tract A, Johnston being subdivided into 9 lots. The property is located south of Kincaid Road and east of Jodhpur Street. There are accesses from Kincaid Road and from West Dimond Boulevard. A 50-foot right-of-way for the east half of Jodphur Street was dedicated with the plat for Johnston Subdivision. Jodphur Street is classified as a local road. The proposed density of 0.9 dwelling units per acre (DUA) falls below the 3-6 DUA cited as the recommended density in the 1982 Anchorage Bowl Comprehensive Development Plan, however, the lots are sized to accommodate septic systems. Staff had been under the impression that wells would provide water to the subdivision, but this afternoon Staff heard from the petitioner's representative that in fact the owner plans to extend public water into the subdivision. Staff recommended amending the recommendations to delete conditions 2.d and 2.e that refer to wells and add condition 9.h “public water.” BOARD MEMBER LINNELL asked if condition 2.e should remain as it relates to septic systems. MS. FERGUSON agreed that condition 2.e should remain. The public hearing was opened. TONY HOFFMAN, representing the petitioner, thanked Staff for their work and apologized for the confusion regarding the provision of water to this property. He stated
PLATTING BOARD MEETING Page 15 May 4, 2005 this is a straightforward plat application. In the additional comments provided to the Board are photographs that were taken long before the petitioner purchased the property. He stated that any drainage issues would be addressed when the drainage plan is developed and the property is developed. He stated this is an appropriate use of the land and the proposed density is well under the permitted DUA. The public hearing was closed. BOARD MEMBER LINNELL moved for approval of the plat for 18 months subject to Staff conditions 1 through 9, deleting condition 2.d and adding condition 9.h “public water.” BOARD MEMBER WALSH seconded. BOARD MEMBER LINNELL supported his motion, finding that this is a well laid out subdivision that meets Title 21 requirements and furthers the goals of Anchorage 2020. AYE: Caress, Phelps, Linnell, Shriver, McKay, Walsh, Kreger NAY: None PASSED c. S-11110-2 Cloud Nine Subdivision (REVISED). To subdivide one parcel into 5 lots with a variance from AMC 21.80.200 (Legal and Physical Access). Located south of Paine Road and Southwest of Carl Street. CHAIR PHELPS explained that the Platting Board opened the public hearing for Case S-11110-2 Cloud Nine Subdivision on July 21, 2004 and continued the public hearing to August 4, 2004 and rescheduled each month thereafter until October 6, 2004 at which time the Board approved an indefinite postponement until access issues were resolved. The public hearing was not closed. If people did not testify at the previous hearing, they have the opportunity to do so at this time. The Board may wish to deal with allowing those who did testify to testify again. Staff member MARGARET O'BRIEN stated the minutes from the original public hearing are included in the packet. The hearing was opened on August 4, 2004 to subdivide one parcel into five lots and a variance from AMC 21.80.200 for legal and physical access. The access to this property is via Goldenview Drive through dedicated rights-of-way within Mountain Village and Keno Hills subdivisions. From there it continues through access easements that were allowed in prior platting actions because of the limited development in this area. A requirement to build the road to municipal standards for only a few lots was not felt to be reasonable at the time those plats were heard. The subject property is steeply
