13 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PETITION REPORT Petition PP Preliminary Plan for Flora Vista Hillside Estates Subdivision Planning & Zoning Commission Discussion of Petition PP on June 25, 2015 Senior Planner Cindy Lopez presented the staff report for PP 15-04, a request from Michael Smith, represented by Sakura Engineering & Surveying, for a preliminary plan for Flora Vista Hillside Estates Subdivision. The property is 6.82 acres, and is a residential subdivision with six lots located east of County Road 3451 and addressed as #6 County Road 3451 in Tier 2 of the City of Farmington s Planning and Platting Jurisdiction. This is designated as a Class 3 Subdivision. The site plan indicates that each of the six lots is 1 acre or more. Ms. Lopez went on to say the road extending to the subdivision is a 15-foot access easement that has been graded, graveled and is being maintained. The residences have been using this roadway for several years. Section 6.5 of the Unified Development Code sets the standards for rural residential subdivisions in Tier 2. Streets in Tier 2 for Class 3 subdivisions shall have: All weather, gravel or crushed stone base; and Road surfaces with not less than a double penetration chip seal surface; and Road surface width of not less than 24 feet; and Eight-foot shoulder on each side. Ms. Lopez said the petitioner is requesting a waiver to the subdivision regulations for the Flora Vista Hillside Estates Subdivision to allow the access easement to be the only access from County Road Ms. Lopez explained staff defers to the County for access and street improvement requirements. The gravel road allows for the rural-type atmosphere similar to areas within the City limit such as Hood Mesa Trail and Foothills. The Planning Division recommends approval of Petition PP for Flora Vista Hillside Estates Subdivision and the requested waiver. Commissioner Freeman asked if the road was non-compliant. Ms. Lopez said the County allows multiple homes on the lots. The parcels will have a deed recorded granting the individual properties to each family member. 12

14 Sherry Blackmon from Sakura Engineering & surveying located at 125 W. Main Street, stated that the current owner maintains the road, and she understood there to be a limit of two homes per property within San Juan County.

15 Section 6.5 of the Unified Development Code sets the standards for rural residential subdivisions in Tier 2. Streets in Tier 2 for Class 2 and 3 subdivisions shall have: (1) All weather, gravel or crushed stone base; and (2) Road surfaces with not less than a double penetration chip seal surface; and (3) Road surface width of not less than 24 feet; and (4) Eight-foot shoulder on each side. Mr. Montoia explained an access easement will be shown along a centerline of County Road 3450 in place of what is shown on the plat as dedicated Right of way (ROW). According to San Juan County, family exemption surveys are not allowed to dedicate ROW. San Juan County maintains and will continue to maintain County Road Additionally, Lots 1 and 2 have platted access to Crescent Drive by way of Round Valley Subdivision. However, this access is not paved, and therefore a waiver to the improvements required by UDC Section 6.5 is requested for access to lots 1 and 2. Staff recommends approval of Petition PP 15-05, Amburn Estates Subdivision and the requested waiver. Sherry Blackmon from Sakura Engineering & Surveying, 125 W. Main Street, stated Lot 1 and 2 front the existing Right of Way (ROW). Sakura Engineering & Surveying is negotiating with the County on where the lot lines will be located.
