COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan shows the property as suitable for
low density residential development.
DISCUSSION: This is a request to alter a lot line in an already approved single-family
subdivision. Although the proposed lot//2 configuration is somewhat
unusual, and normally we would be opposed to a lot line meandering as
this amending plat shows, in this instance we can conditionally support
the request. Because of the Grapevine Creek floodplain location, and the
fact that the potential purchaser of lot two understands the responsibility
of ownership and maintenance of the entire lot, staff can support this
request.
RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
Staff recommends approval of this amending plat subject to the following
conditions:
-clearly delineate the zoning line between "A" zoning and SF 12
zoning
-if Donald Carter does not own all five lots, each new property
owner will have to sign the plat
ALTERNATIVES: 1) Recommend approval of the request
2) Recommend disapproval of the request
