SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 24, 2006) The applicant was not present representing the request. Staff stated there were no outstanding technical issues associated with the request which needed addressing. Staff stated the request was a replat to allow the owner to increase their rear yard area by adding additional area to their lot. Staff stated a variance was being requested to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio for the lot. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: There were no outstanding issues associated with the request remaining from the August 24, 2006, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request is to allow a replat of existing Lot 17 of the Quail Run Subdivision to increase the rear yard area. The proposed replat will create a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio. Section 31-232(b) of the Subdivision Ordinance states no residential lot shall be more than three times as deep as it is wide, except lots approved abutting a freeway, expressway or occupied mainline railroad right-of-way. The depth to width ratio as proposed is 3.5 to 1 resulting in an increased ratio. Sherri Marie Drive is constructed to the eastern boundary of the proposed lot. Currently there is not a public street or dedicated right-of-way adjacent to the rear of the additional lot area. Staff recommends a 10-foot no right of vehicular access easement be placed along the rear of the new lot width to eliminate the potential for a driveway cut in this area since there is not currently a public street or right-of-way located adjacent to the lot. Staff is supportive of the request. To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding issues associated with the request. Staff feels the replat to increase the rear yard area of the existing lot will have minimal impact on the adjoining properties. I.
