Preliminary subdivision for 715 25th Street moves to public hearing after fire-access questions
Summary
Numero DeSalvia asked to split 715 25th Street into two parcels (~19,074 sq ft each); the commission moved the preliminary subdivision to a public hearing after commissioners pressed for alley width, ownership and fire-truck access details.
The Bedford Planning Commission voted July 14 to send a preliminary subdivision request from Numero DeSalvia for property at 715 25th Street to a public hearing in August after commissioners raised concerns about emergency access and the status of a nearby unimproved right-of-way.
Travis Norman of T and G, representing the owner, said the site is currently made up of three narrow city lots and that the proposal would split the house from a rear vacant lot, each resulting parcel about 19,074 square feet. "The alley is about 12 foot wide pavement wise," Norman said when commissioners asked whether a fire truck could access the rear parcel.
Commissioners questioned whether the unimproved platted right-of-way (described in the record as a remaining dedicated street from the Bellevue Heights plat) is city-owned and whether it would need to be improved if the rear lot is developed. Several commissioners suggested that any requirement to improve the roadway could be imposed as a stipulation at the public hearing or through a condition of approval. The commission asked staff and the applicant to confirm alley width, nearby hydrant locations and ownership of the unimproved right-of-way prior to the hearing.
A motion (mover: Committee member Speaker 2) to move the matter to a public hearing carried by voice vote. Commissioners noted they may perform a site visit and that more detailed plans and staff analysis should be provided at the public hearing.
