The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #17-142
Resolution Approving Plat of Survey to Parcel 2017-48
WHEREAS, A Plat of Survey has been presented to Parcel 2017-48 same being located within the City limits of the City of Monticello, and
WHEREAS, The City Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed the Plat of Survey to said Parcel and recommends that it be approved, and
WHEREAS, The City Council has reviewed the Plat of Survey and finds that the Parcel was created to combine two lots to be permanently used as one property, with a house and garage previously on a separate parcel from the newly constructed garage on the east half of Lot 203, just south of the house lot, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that combining the lots into one parcel is consistent with the City Code as the new garage, built on a separate lot to the south, cannot be sold separately from the house lot to the north under the City Code as it does not permit an accessory building to stand alone on a lot zoned R-1, requiring it to be married to a principal structure, i.e. a “home”, and
WHEREAS, Based upon the above and foregoing analysis, the City Council finds that the Plat of Survey should be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve the Plat of Survey to Parcel 2017-48.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 20th day of November, 2017.
Dena Himes, Mayor

Sally Hinrichsen, Monticello City Clerk
