On July 11, 2005 the applicant submitted a letter to staff requesting to leave the existing residence on the property while the new home is being constructed. Staff was unable to approve the request administratively, as Section 36-254(b)(1) of the City's Zoning Ordinance allows only one (1) single family dwelling on any R-2 zoned lot or parcel. Therefore, the applicant is requesting an administrative appeal. The Board is asked to determine if it is appropriate to allow construction of the new single family residence at this location while the existing residence remains on the property. Staff suggests that issues related to time frame for the new construction and a trigger mechanism for removal of the existing structure be discussed by the Board with relation to the applicants' request.
