HISTORY: Prior to this residential development, the subject 10 -acre tract of

zoning for this tract. Council approved a Single Family -12 District.
In January 2004, Council approved the Final Plat for a 23 -lot
single family subdivision. Since that time 12 homes have been
constructed.
On November 10, 2009 Council approved a similar request to
replat two lots into one on the property abutting to the south of

TRANSPORTATION: DeForest Road is an unimproved asphalt road contained within a
variable width right -of -way ranging from 50 to 57 feet. It is
planned to eventually be a 28 -foot wide concrete street with the
same right -of -way. Inglenook is a residential street built within 50
feet of right -of -way.
SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING:
North - single - family residences: SF -12
South — vacant residential lot; SF -12
East - vacant residential lot; SF -12
West -single-family residences: SF -12
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan, as amended, shows the
property as Residential Medium Density.
DISCUSSION: As stated in the HISTORY section, the platting of this property
was approved in January 2004, for a 23 -lot residential
subdivision. Similar to the request granted by Council on
November 10th on lots abutting to the south, the applicant is
proposing to combine two lots into one and build one large
residence. Based on the SF -12 District regulations, side yards
are required to be 10% of the lot width, therefore 19' side yards
will be required. The platted front building line will remain at 30
feet and rear at 20 feet, which will still provide a sufficient
building pad area to accommodate a substantial sized home on
this half -acre lot. The plat meets all technical requirements of
the subdivision ordinance, and no opposition as been received
from the property owners within 200 feet, within the original
subdivision. Therefore, staff recommends approval.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff is recommending APPROVAL of Lot 19R, Block 1, St. Andrews Replat with no
outstanding conditions.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend approval of the request
2. Recommend disapproval of the request
3. Recommend modification of the request
