t 2. Drainage plan previously approved.
3. No improvements required on Pine Valley Road.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
This property is located in a residential neighborhood,
generally consisting of single family uses. The site fronts
on both Pine Valley Road and North McKinley Street and is
nestled between a single family home on the north and a
small corner store immediately to the south. The proposal
on this site was originally submitted to the Commission for
review in March of 1982. The applicant then proposed to
develop the property into two lots of about 4,992 square
feet and 4,907.5 square feet. A variance was requested from
the Ordinance's lot depth requirement of 7,000 square feet
for which the justification was stated as insufficient "land
for two lots because of the double frontage nature."
On March 9, 1982, the Commission decided that the item as
submitted posed a legal question of whether or not the
Commission has the authority to reduce minimum lot size
requirements. On March 30, 1983, the City Attorney reported
on a legal opinion which inferred that this request was
invalid. As a result, the applicant withdrew his
application. On a later date, the applicant approached the
-Commission and was advised that he resubmit this as a zoning
application from "R-4" to "R-5." The site was rezoned and
the applicant was advised that a site plan review would be
required for a multiple building site.
The applicant has stated that his present submission will be
developed as proposed in the original proposal, and his plan
still shows two lots. Site plan reviews of this nature are
for two buildings on one site. Staff is not endorsing the
lot lines through the middle. We are suggesting that the
applicant adjust the siting of the buildings and parking so
that it does not require backing into the street. The
driveway should be kept at a width of 22'.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.
