The proposed plat would create Tract JL-1 (24.90 acres in size) and Tract JL-2 (54.42 acres in size). Page 1 Spearfish Planning Commission Staff Report Meeting Date: April 4, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. General Comments: The proposed sketch plat is a minor plat within the 3-Mile Extraterritorial Jurisdiction area with Lawrence County. The subject property is currently undeveloped. This plat is a result of a judgement on an adverse possession case in which a survey was ordered by the court. Staff would recommend approval of the sketch plat with the stipulations noted at the end of the report. Staff Review: Zoning: The property is currently zoned A-1 – General Agriculture District (Lawrence County). Both proposed tracts are smaller than the 40-acre minimum required in the General Agricultural District regulations, however, Lawrence County Planning and Zoning has agreed to allow Tract JL-1 to be under this required size since the adjacent property is under the same family ownership. Utilities: Both lots meet minimum DANR standards to support their own individual well and on- site wastewater systems. Access: Tract JL-2 is accessible by section line right-of-way. Since Tract JL-1 does not have section line access, legal access must be shown on the final plat. Summary: The proposed plat generally complies with all applicable Zoning and Subdivision Regulations. As such, staff would recommend approval of the proposed plat with the following stipulations: 1. Prior to Final Plat submittal, the plat document shall be revised to show legal access to Tract JL-1. 2. Prior to Final Plat submittal, the plat document shall be revised to include all required wording in the Certificate of Ownership statements. 3. Prior to Final Plat submittal, the plat document shall be revised to list the correct street authority certification. 4. Prior to submittal of a Final Plat, the plat document shall be revised to list a Surveyor’s Note stating that a “5-foot Utility Easement is hereby dedicated along the interior side of all lot lines on this plat.” 5. Prior to submittal of a Final Plat, the plat document shall be revised to include an “Area Summary”, showing “Total Platted Area” and “Lot Area”.
