• the previous five yeazs, zoning designation and deed restrictions limiting development to no more than two dwellings per lot have been in place. The City's R-1, Low Density Residential designation, which has been in place for well over five years, satisfies this requirement. As noted in the preceding section of this report, deed restrictions satisfy this requirement and are not at issue. D. The replat has been approved by the Commission after being prepazed and filed as though it were an original plat as specified in Section 4.04 of the Development Ordinance. • Staff finds the replat document to have been prepared in accordance with applicable ordinance requirements. There is nothing regazding the form or content of the plat document that would preclude approval by the Commission. E. All expenses incurred by the City or the subdivider in the replat process shall be borne by the subdivider, including the costs for notice of the public heazing. • The costs of public heazing have been tabulated and will be paid • by the applicants prior to the replat being released for recordation. The cost of notice for this hearing totals $42.06. A final issue to consider is payment by the applicant, of money in lieu of pazk land dedication. These fees were paid when the original Coronet Estates plat was approved by the City. This replat will, however, create a new residential homesite. Under the terms of Development Ordinance, Section 12.05, a $175 fee will be due to the City. The money will be escrowed and may only be spent to acquire or upgrade public park facilities. The money may only be spent within Pazk Zone V, the zone in which Coronet Estates is located. The applicants have been made aware of this fee and understand that it must be paid prior to the replat being released for recordation. Conclusion Staff finds the requested replat of Lot 5 of the Coronet Estates Subdivision to satisfy all applicable provisions of State Law and City Ordinance. We, therefore, recommend Commission approval with the condition that the replat not be released for recordation until all fees specified in this report have been paid. •
