BACKGROUND:
This lot was platted for multifamily use along with all of the
multifamily lots around Towne Park Court. All of the lots share
common development characteristics such as shared drives, one way
street, rear parking with grassy yards in front. These
multifamily units are probably close to 20 years old but
generally well maintained.
A. PROPOSAL:
To create four lots that are the same width as the dwelling
units and leave the side yards and rear yard as common open
space. The units would be sold much like real estate except
for the common holding. They will not be condominium so
long as land is part of the title.
B. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
A gently sloping lot from rear to the front. The parking
spaces are in the rear and accessed by way of a shared drive
with the lot on the west. There is a two story brick and
frame four unit apartment in place with lawn covering the
