Analysis There is a possibility that there are subdivision and street name conflicts with this proposal. Staff will research this. If so, the applicant will be required to change the names. Variances have been requested for street improvements and lot depths. Staff recommends that no waiver be granted unless some hardship is established. A waiver of the minimum lot depth can be granted only if the applicant makes the lots along Kaylyn wider, so that they possess the minimum requirement of 7,000 square feet. We do not want to set a precedent for approving substandard lots. The applicant is requested to provide justification for Lots 29, 63, 64 and 65. What is the use proposed for Lots 63-65 since they are larger than the remainder? The legal status of the out parcel should be identified. If it was severed from its ownership, then the owner must be a participant in this plat. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The item was reviewed by the Committee. It was determined that the applicant should. (1) Rename Sandra and Kaylyn Street; (2) Seek participation in the plat of the owner of the out -parcel; (3) Provide information as to the status of Pleasant Hills Road; and (4) Commit to none other than single family development on this plat. June 12, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 4 - Continued PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant and his representatives were present. There were no objectors. Staff reported that Pleasant Hill Cemetery Road was a private right-of-way that could possibly be developed as a collector at a future date; so, 15 feet of additional right-of-way dedication was requested. The applicant agreed to this request. There was some discussion on the out parcel. The applicant was instructed to find out more information regarding when the property was sold. If it was after 1957, and was sold illegally, the owner of that parcel would have to participate in the plat. Staff reiterated its commitment to none other than single family with this approval. A motion for approval was made and passed, subject to comments made. The vote: 7 ayes, 0 noes and 4 absent.
