HISTORY:
This property was initially constructed in 1953 with a renovation
permit approved to allow a one-story, detached garage in July
26. 1999. On February 20, 2000, a building permit was obtained to
allow for the new garage to be constructed as a two-story
structure. On October 10, 2000, a permit was approved for the
main structure renovation to increase the size to a two-story
structure and attach the garage, which was under construction
at that time. All construction ceased shortly thereafter. A permit

for the demolition of the garage and addition (ordered by the
courts) was obtained on September 30, 2004. The property was
sold to the current developer, who secured a demolition permit
on March 29, 2007, and has since removed the residence. On
May 8, a Preliminary Plat was approved depicting four residential
lots and one common area lot. A rezoning from 2F-9 to PD-227-SF-
12 was also approved at that time.
TRANSPORTATION:
Sandy Lake Road is a substandard, two-lane asphalt road, which is
designated on the Thoroughfare Plan to be a four-lane divided
thoroughfare. The adjacent right-of-way is currently 76 feet (+/-)
and a 24-foot right-of-way will be dedicated with the platting of this
property.

square-foot lots); PD-148(Planned Development-148

lots); PD-148 (Planned Development-148)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996, as amended, shows the
property as suitable for medium density residential.
DISCUSSION:
This is a final plat request to establish four single-family residential
lots, one common area, utility and fire lane/mutual access
easements. Council approved granting the Planning and Zoning
Commission authority to approve the final plat, but because there
is a change in the location of the fire lane (private drive) creating
a modification to the previously approved Planned Development,
Council will be required to grant the final approval.

Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this case subject to the
following conditions:

construction.
