possibility of two story houses, the number of those, and the impact those would have to the property owners to the north, the Cedarwood Subdivision, as well as to the west, Centennial Subdivision. He explained that Ordinance No. 1126, Series 1993, is the zoning ordinance. For Council's information, the Planning Commission.s recommendation in Ordinance No. 1127, Series 1993, for the .66 acre parcel was drafted with RE zoning. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Tom Zukaitis, 1608 Cottonwood Drive, #24, Louisville, Colorado, applicant and owner of said property, stated that the property is over 29,000 s.f. in total size. He explained that there is also the unincorporated enclave, which is of a similar size, but smaller. He asked the Council for an R-L zoning, because of the size of the lot. He stated that the Planning Commission was assuming that the RE zoning could allow him to build two lots. With the access and planning a radius into the property, which is proportional to the existing Johnson Street, which would eventually complete the radius on the Kranker property, which is annexed. In Kranker's annexation agreement they had standard language in there that they would dedicate whatever land is necessary. He stated that, with that and the access, he would not be able to have two 12,000 s.f. lots. They would be 10 - 11,000+ s.f. lots. He explained that the other problem with the RE zoning is that the street zoning should be 100'. His property is approximately 147' wide, which could not accommodate two RE lots. He asked for R-L zoning, with conditions, or a stipulation that the lot could only service two houses. He asked for Council's help in solving the access problem. He reviewed the city's Codes on cul-de-sacs, as he interpreted them. He was also concerned about the road width. He proposed that either an arrangement be worked out with a narrow road servicing the property, or have a funnel effect in front of his neighbor and widen out the road. He asked for help and direction from the Council. Davidson called for Council comments and questions. Lathrop asked ZuKaitis for clarification on his intentional use of the property. Zukaitis stated that his intention is to dispose of the property, as he is not in a position to develop or build a house. Lathrop stated that if Council was to zone this R-L, allowing three homes on the property, Council would, at some point, be looking at a subdivision request. He wondered how Zukaitis expected Council to justify a subdivision with a very substandard road. Zukaitis felt that the only point that was substandard was the 70', where the Green property is. He explained, referencing maps.
