COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: PLAT OF SURVEY FOR 301 S. 4 th STREET
BACKGROUND:
The City's subdivision regulations are found in Chapter 23 of the Municipal Code. These
regulations include the process for creating or modifying property boundaries and for
determining if any improvements are required in conjunction with the platting of property.
Review procedures for conveyance parcels are found in Section 23.307. A "conveyance
parcel" is any parcel created by the division of land through a deed or contract
conveyance. Unless it is determined that the parcel is a pre-platted, or a pre-established
conveyance parcel, approval of a Plat of Survey is required to establish it as a valid parcel
for permitting purposes.
This Plat of Survey is for the purpose of establishing a valid parcel to permit the rebuilding
of an apartment building, located at 301 E. 4t Street, in the "RH" (High Density
Residential) zoning district (See Attachment A: Location & Zoning Map). The size, and
dimensions, of the proposed parcel are identical to the existing parcel, which includes
38,857.98 sq. ft. (0.89 acres) (See Attachment B: Plat of Survey). The previous apartment
building was a nonconforming structure that included 33 units, and was destroyed by fire
on June 6, 2016. Rebuilding of a damaged nonconforming structure requires approval of a
Special Use Permit, if damaged to the extent of more than 70% of its assessed value. The
proposed apartment building includes 24 units, and is planned for construction on the
foundation of the building that was destroyed.
On October 12, 2016, the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved the request for a
Special Use Permit to allow rebuilding of the damaged nonconforming structure,
with a condition that addresses the requirement for a Plat of Survey, and reads as
follows:
• That a Plat of Survey be approved by the City Council, and copies of the
recorded documents be received by the City Clerk's Office, prior to approval
of the Minor Site Development Plan.
Plats of Survey are to comply with all Design and Improvement Standards in the
Subdivision Ordinance. South 4t" Street is a dead end street that terminates at the west
property line of 301 S. 4t" Street. The Public Works Department has not identified a need
to establish a cul-de-sac at the end of S. 4t" Street, at this time. The proposed parcel
meets the requirements of having complete infrastructure, as outlined in the Subdivision
Code, with the exception of the cul-de-sac at the end of S. 4t" Street, and does not trigger
further extension of infrastructure.
1
New utility easements have been included on the Plat to address staff's request for
easements over existing infrastructure, including storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and electric.
No additional easements are included, as part of the Plat of Survey.
Approval will allow the applicant to prepare the official Plat of Survey and submit it to the
Planning and Housing Director for review. The Director will sign the Plat of Survey,
confirming that it fully conforms to all conditions of approval. The prepared Plat of Survey
may then be signed by the surveyor, who will submit it for recording in the office of the
Story County Recorder.
The surveyor is in the process of revising the proposed Plat of Survey to include public
easements for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and electric utilities. The Plat of Survey
included in this report does not show those easements.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can adopt the resolution approving the proposed Plat of Survey, with
the following condition:
A. That the Plat of Survey be revised to include public easements for storm sewer,
sanitary sewer and electric facilities on the site, prior to signature by the Planning &
Housing Director.
2. The City Council can deny the proposed Plat of Survey if the City Council finds that the
requirements for Plats of Survey, as described in Section 23.308, have not been
satisfied.
3. The City Council can refer this back to staff and/or the owner for additional information.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff has determined that the proposed Plat of Survey satisfies all code requirements for
approval. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council
accept Alternative #1, thereby adopting the resolution approving the proposed Plat of
Survey, with Condition A.
