Item# 7
DISCUSSION: The applicant wants to divide a Il/s-acre lot into two residential lots. Each
resulting lot will comply with SF12 standards (and almost comply with
SF18 standards), even though the property is zoned SF9.
However, to approve the subdivision, a variance of a subdivision
ordinance requirement will be necessary. Paragraph 12 on page 61 states
residential lots to collector and arterial streets. The original Lot 25 was
intended for a non-residenfinl purpose such as a church or day care
facility. To convert the pmpczty for use as two residential sites requires
the variance so that the proposed lots can accommodate guest parking
entering from South MacArthur Boulevard.
The planning staff has no objection to one driveway entrance from South
MacArthur to accommodate the guest parking needs of both proposed lots.
This is no more than that which would have been permitted for a church
or day care center. However, to accom?i.qh this, easements are required
so that each future prol~tY owner can cross over the neighbor's land.
The proposed plat does not show driveway easements.
Finally, the existing alley along the west side of the property has no
provisions for an adequate mm to the east at the northwest corner of the
pr~, where the alley intersects with an alley along the north side of
the property. AHey right-of-way and pavement should be provided to
comply with City standards.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The planning staff recommends approval of the replat subject to the
following conditions:
1) Provision of driveway easements to accommodate a single
driveway entrance from South MacArthur Boulevard capable of
being used by both lots for the purpose of providing off-street
guest pm'king.
2) City Council approval of a variance to Section IA-12 of Appendix
C of the Subdivision Ordinance, which otherwise would require
that residential lots have no direct access to South MacArthur
Boulevard.
3) Provision of alley right-of-way and pavement at the northwest
corner of proposed Lot 25-A to comply with City standards.
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
3) Recommend modification of the request
