Laurita Subdivision Exemption Plat - Subdivision Exemption Case No. PX24-001

Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The applicant, Spirerer, Woodward, Corbalis, and Goldberg PC, on behalf of Kristin Siebenmorgan and Shannon Pederson, property owners, are seeking approval to create a 3.41-acre lot through the Subdivision Exemption review process. The subject property is located at 3360 S. County Road 149, in Strasburg, and is zoned Agricultural-1. The minimum required lot size in the A-1 zone is 19 acres. Approval through this review process will create a legally subdivided lot and enable the applicants to obtain building permits in the future.
end

Background and Discussion: The subject property currently contains a residence and several outbuildings. The residence was built in 1924.

The 3.41-acre parcel was created by a deed on May 27, 1981, that divided it from an approximately 320-acre property. The existing residence and outbuildings are located within the 3.41-acre lot. Since the land division was done by the then-owner without review under the County subdivision regulations, County staff is prohibited from issuing permits for improvements, including building permits.

The applicants purchased the subject property in 2016 and were not involved in creating this improper subdivision.

The minimum required lot size in the A-1 zone is 19 acres, however, the Land Development Code provides review criteria for approval of a subdivision exemption, and staff has addressed how this application meets the review criteria in the attached staff report.

Fiscal Impact: The request does not appear to fiscally impact the County.
