B.At the southeast corner of the subject property, an area of 1,232 SF is excluded from Mr. Hu’s parcel. The railroad company previously owned the parcel and Mr. Hu believes that he has ownership to that property. He may be able to make legal claim and pursue a Quiet Title. That process could take several months. Wood provided information on the yard and bulk requirements for the property, which included the following points: The property is subject to the Old Town Overlay and RM zoning regulations.  Minimum lot size is 7,000 SF and minimum lot area per dwelling unit is 3,500 SF.  Lot 1 needs to be 14,000 SF, which is large enough.  Lot 2 needs to be 7,000 SF, which is large enough.  rd Remaining area would be used to create a 3 lot, which would be large to support  either one or two units, depending on the status of the land discussed in the survey. No specific development is being proposed at this time. Two off-street parking spaces will be required for each unit.  Wood then discussed the Public Dedications requirements for the property. Since the majority of the property was platted in 1906 the property is not subject to any additional public use dedication requirements. The railroad right-of-way and the small area that might require the Quiet Title could be subject to the City’s subdivision dedication requirements. Given the small size, approximately 1,500 SF of dedication, a park dedication is not likely, which might suggest a fee- in-lieu should be pursued in conjunction with the final subdivision plat review. Wood continued with a brief discussion of the right-of-way along adjacent to Courtesy Road or State Highway 42 stating that additional right-of-way may be needed to accommodate road expansions. The ISP has been forwarded to CDOT for comment and will be reviewed again during the final plat review process. Wood stated that staff is recommending approval of the preliminary subdivision plat for the Spruce Street Apartments Subdivision, with four conditions to be addressed in the final plat submittal.
