MUTTER EDWARD A. (382-71) 2 lots 2.7 gr. acres, Is Paloma Road. Engr. M.W. Wolff. Staff reviewed that this 2.7 gross acre property has an existing dwelling located on the rear of the lot and that the applicant wished to subdivide to create a new building site fronting on Is Paloma Road. This property as well as the neighboring Hoover property is served by a private drive which straddles their common lot line and is comprised of each aides 6' easements. Staff recommended that a rolled curb and gutter be installed along the LaPaloma frontage and that the pavement be ex- tended to the gutter; that the applicant grant a 20' easement along parcel #1 so that the existing drive would remain a private road, but be constructed to Town standards along that portion. Staff explained that a private road must be located in a 40' right of way, but suggested the remaining 20' easement could be obtained from the adjacent property owner if and when they subdivide. Staff also recommended that the existing 16" drain under the drive be replaced with a 36" pipe. A communication from an attorney representing the neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoover indicated they had no intention of subdivision and requested denial of the Mutter application, since construction of the private roadway without their consent (which they did not intend to grant) violated a decree recorded October 4, 1954. Staff stated that this decree referred to a since expired deed restriction upon these parcels created by the Iyandale Knolls Subdivision. To avoid any dissention with the neighbor, the applicant proposed that access to lot #1 be directly off of Is Paloma and that the present road be left as is to serve the existing residences. Commission discussion concurred with Staff's recommendation since minimal access to Is Paloma would be provided. Commissioner Mueller expressed reservations as to the adequacy of drainage provision due to the proximity of the creek crossing lot #1 as it related to the potential building site. The majority of the Commission felt Lany overflow would run toward LaPaloma, rather than toward the homesite. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Commissioner Spencer moved, seconded by Perkins and carried by majority vote that the Tentative Map of E. A. Nutter (382-71) for 2 lots be recommended to the Council for approval in accordance with the check list dated September 27, 1971. (Commissioner Mueller voted no.)
