NEW BUSINESS
Rezoning and Preliminary Subdivision (Haven Woods) — Barbara McMahon
City Administrator Osberg introduced the item noting the Council is being asked to consider approval of
a rezoning from Agriculture and R-1, Single -Family, to R -1S Single -Family Small Lot district, a preliminary
subdivision to create 13 single-family lots, and a variance to the maximum cul-de-sac length of 500 ft for
a cul-de-sac of 750 feet for property at 3955 Dodd Road.
City Planner Ridley gave a staff report and provided a site map. Ridley noted there is a restricted access
easement adjacent to Elrene Road. Staff believed that the vacation of the easement could occur with
the subdivision. Staff and the applicant were informed this afternoon, from the City Attorney, that that
was not the case.
City Attorney Dougherty noted, while reviewing the Council packet, an issue regarding access off of
Elrene Road that would need Council action prior to approving the subdivision. The proposed plat takes
access off of Elrene Road, in an area that is presently restriction by the City. It would require the City to
determine through a vacation process that it is willing to give up a portion of that access. Prior to

approving the subdivision, it is his understanding that Engineering would prefer the access come off of
Elrene Road as opposed to Dodd Road. Ultimately, a petition is needed to begin the vacation process.

regarding the restricted access easement and the fact the City Council will not be able to vote on the
