4 and the north ½ of Lot 5, Block 2, Robinson’s Addition. The property is currently
undeveloped and grass covered.
The proposed lots will be approximately 37.4 feet wide and 130.25 feet deep. The
lots will have areas of approximately 4,865 square feet. The lots will contain a 25
foot front platted building setback line.

of 50 feet and a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet. Therefore, the applicant

as reasonable. The general area contain a mixture of residential lot sizes. The
proposed replat and lot sizes will not be out of character with the neighborhood.
