VII. ANALYSIS
Analysis Leading to Staff Recommendation:
The applicant is proposing to vacate several easements platted with the Jayker Subdivision which
include the following:
1) A 20-foot wide vehicle access easement,
2) four (4) common drive easements and
3) the removal of a common lot (lot 18, block 11) from a plat note No. 16 (see Exhibit A.2
below).
Jayker Common Drive -VAC-11-003 and MFP-11-003 Page 2
A concurrent final plat modification application has also be submitted to accommodate the
removal of the common lot (lot 18, block 11) so it may be incorporated as part of the adjacent
buildable lot. The applicant has provided conceptual plot plans to depict how the future homes
will sit on the platted lots if the common drives and the common lot are vacated (see Exhibit A.3
below).
Staff has reviewed the applicant's requests and offers the following:
• The fire department has no objection to the removal of the 20-foot wide emergency
vehicle access as it serves no public purpose. Further, the topography of the land and the
developed common lot would make it very difficult to access the site.
• The applicant is processing a property boundary to comport to the dimensional standards
of the R-2 zone and the platted public utility easements remain in effect. Thus, removing
the common drives does conflict with current code requirements of the R-2 zone or
impact the current easements in place.
• Lot 18, Block 11 was platted as a common lot with the Jayker Subdivision. Currently the
micropath does not connect to any other pathway system nor is it part of the City's
pathway plan. As mentioned earlier, the applicant has platted a new common lot farther
south that provides both vehicular and pedestrian connectivity to the Spurwing
Subdivision. This newly platted area was also meant to provide the additional open space
and a usable amenity to off-set the loss of the common lot.
• The common lot is impacted by a 20-foot wide PUE easement and a 12 inch water main
is constructed within the lot in favor of United Water. If the plat modification and
vacation are approved this easement will become part of a buildable lot by process of the
PBA. Staff has concerns that a future home owner may be unaware that the
easement exists on the property. The recorded PBA needs to include a note stating
that structures are not allowed to encroach in to the 20-foot wide easement area and
coordination is required with United Water. The Jayker Subdivision building
restriction form will also be modified noting the easement to ensure the future home
does not encroach into the easement. The applicant has provided a conceptual plot
plan to show the future home will be oriented on the lot (see Exhibit A.3 below).
Based on the aforementioned analysis, Staff recommends approval of the subject applications
as submitted.
