Township road 38th St <br />SE borders the north of the property. <br /> <br />Floodzone <br />According to the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, this property is currently located in Special Hazard Flood <br />Area Zone A. In addition, wetlands are present on the existing pastureland. <br /> <br />Land Development Rights <br />The subject quarter-quarter section currently is developed and requires the transfer of a development right. <br />Section 308 of the Cass County Subdivision Ordinance states that every quarter-quarter section is granted one (1) <br />Development Right to create a buildable lot with a minimum of 40 acres. Because the lot subdivision proposal is <br />less than 40 acres, a transfer of a development right is required along with a deed restriction. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Comments <br /> <br />This farmstead has been on the existing lot since 1980s. Platting of this subdivision would include the platting of <br />an existing unplatted parcel. The pastureland will be added to the existing farmstead and platted as one larger lot. <br /> <br />Upon a roll call vote with all in favor, motion carried to approve the variance from the deed restriction <br />requirement. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation <br /> <br />To accept the findings and recommendations of staff and recommend approval to the County Commission of the <br />subdivision application with the variance request as the proposal meets the goals and objectives of the Cass <br />County Comprehensive Plan, the Cass County Highway Access Plan, the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, <br />the Cass County Subdivision Ordinance and all other applicable regulations. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> 1.
