Commission approves three-lot minor plat at 3575 Cedar Terrace Drive
Summary
The commission approved a minor plat to split a 3.7-acre parcel at 3575 Cedar Terrace Drive into three residential lots, finding the subdivision conforms to low-density residential future land use and subdivision ordinance intent.
The Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission approved May 13 a minor plat (Mason Minor Plat 1) to divide a 3.7-acre parcel at 3575 Cedar Terrace Drive into three residential lots. Staff said the proposed lots (approximately 2.0, 1.0 and 0.8 acres) meet minimum lot-size and width requirements in the R-2.1 two-family residence district and can be served by existing utilities.
Staff noted the presence of an Iowa Northern Railway line 16 feet from the southwest property line and that, during building construction, Lot 3’s driveway will likely need to access East Charles Road to avoid an intersection. Because the split is minor, staff said the plat need not include every detailed subdivision element; the technical-review comments were otherwise minimal.
Property owner Daryl Mason appeared and confirmed the request; staff recommended approval because the plat is in accordance with the subdivision ordinance, meets bulk regulations and conforms to the future land use map. The commission approved the plat; as a minor plat, no additional final-plat action before the commission is required.
