Planning Office (KS)
Spring Street Associates - Subdivision Exemption Application
November 22, 1977
Before you is a request for subdivision exemption by Spring Street
Associates involving the property at the southwest corner of Spring and
Main Street. The property is zoned C-l. The application departs from
the typical exemption request in that it involves an existing corrrnerciall
office structure and a duplex residential structure, the latter of which
. is yet to be built. .The existing structure straddles two city lots for
a total of 6,000 square feet of lot area. A duplex can be built on the
_ ~rqpe!typrovided that it complies with the new C~l FAR of 1:1 and all
other relevant bulk requirements of the zone district. As you probably
know, that portion of theland on which a duplex is to be built is now
- vacant after the removal of a single family house. A variance has been
received from the contiguous open space requirements - the variance was
necessary because of the protrusion of a garage into the open space.
_ Although not required by the C-1 zone district, applicants plan to
locate parking below the duplex building.
- ---
. While the application is to be conisdered at one time, the actual
condominiumization will occur in two phases. The first filing for
-record wilt show the existing improvements, easements. etc. with the
northerly portion of the lot reserved for the duplex structure. Upon
completion of construction of the residential phase, a supplementary
condominium map will be filed of record showing all improvements,
including the new ones. The applicants have promised to resubmit their
plans, to the Planning Office in the event of any material change.
We suggest that you make this a condition of approval as we might want
to re-process the exemption application should any such change occur.
The eXlsting property contains 4 units which are to be condominiumized.
Theiare now occupied by a graphic arts studio, a color photo development
lab, Code A Color Filing Systems, and a law office. The condominium
declaration is drafted to encompass both the commercial and residential
units providing that each unit will own undivided fee simple interests
in the limited commercial and residential common elements. We have
referred a copy of these arrangements to the City Attorney for her
review and she has offered the suggestion that any conditions of approval
such as a 6-month lease restriction be included in the declaration. A
subdivision exemption agreement should be drafted which would also
encompass any conditions of approval.
Dave Ellis has reviewed the application and certifies that it has or
will meet subdivision design standards. He recorrrnends approval of the
application.
In the course of discussion before the City Planning and Zoning Commission,
the question of appropriate park dedication fee arose. Since a single
family house was previously located on the lot, it was suggested that a
credit toward the fee might be given for the house. We are asking the
City Attorney to comment.
