COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
uses allowed in the Historic District (residences are
allowed)
DISCUSSION: This request is the outgrowth of a change in development plans for the
property formerly known as McMillan Estates. Briefly, in late 1999
property included in this request was a portion of a somewhat emotional
zoning application resulting in a one-lot development. After the zoning
change, the McMillans decided to not develop the property. This
request would take a portion and subdivide it into two adjacent single
family lots. Each revised lot would gain additional square footage, with
Lot 16 gaining approximately one-tenth of an acre, Lot 15 gaining
approximately one-quarter acre of land. Both additions would extend
current eastern property lines to the centerline of the creek and would
contain considerable floodplain land. With the understanding from each
property owner that no development can occur in the flood plain, staff
could support this request.

the floodplain
