Dave's First Date: September 6, 1979 Subdivision GENERAL INFORMATION AGeorge Wood Applicant: R.R. N6 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Requested Action: Preliminary and final plat approval To subdivide two single family lots Purpose: Location: 2i miles north of the City limits on West Overlook Road Size: 17.35 acres Response time: 10/9/79 ANALYSIS The subject addition is located outside Iowa City's two mile extraterritorial control area but within Coralville's. As per the annexation agreement entered into between Iowa City and Coralville, the subdivisionis within ihinfIowarCity's side of the established "area of jurisdiction" and is, therefore, to Iowa City for findings and recommendations before Coralville takes any action. The subdivision is a two lot subdivision. Lot 2 accesses directly to West Overlook Road while Lot 1 is served by a 40 foot access easement. Should the subdivision be annexed lot 1 would become a non -conforming lot since it would not have frontage on a public street. Consideration should therefore be given to incorporating the 40 foot access easement into lot 1. A future dedication document should be provided for the right-of-way along the county road in the event of annexation by the City of Iowa City. RECOMMENDATION It is the staff's recommendation that the bject subject plat toe thorwa flowing ed to Coralville with a recommendation for approval deficiencies and discrepancies.
