To: Planning Commission
From: Justin Fortney, City Planner
Date: August 28, 2023
Item: Minor Subdivision – 1012 Ramsey Street, Adam Greenslade
Planning Commission Action Requested Hold a public hearing and recommend action on the
minor subdivision request of Adam Greenslade. This action will create two separate parcels.
Background information: The former home on this larger lot was demolished in 2020 after
severe fire damage. The applicant proposes to split the lot into two lots.
The applicant proposes to subsequently construct a twin home, which is an administrative
process. At that time, a Certificate of survey with a grading plan is required to assure no
additional drainage will flow to neighboring properties.
The zoning ordinance currently allows the construction of a two unit home as a duplex on the
existing lot with payment of WAC & SAC fees. The proposal to split the lot will also require
separate utilities along with sewer interceptor and park dedication fees. The lot split will allow
the units to be sold separately. The adjacent property to the north is a twin home built in 2001
and another to the west in 2005.
Notification: Notification of the request was published and mailed to all property owners within
350 feet. A neighbor called to ask questions and commented that the yard has not been mowed
regularly in the past few years.
Comprehensive Plan Classification: The 2040 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as
Low Density Residential.
Zoning Classification: The property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residence.
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use
Direction Property Use Zoning Comp Plan
North Twin home R-2 Low Density Residential
East Single-family home R-2 Low Density Residential
South Single-family home R-2 Low Density Residential
West Twin home R-2 Low Density Residential
