H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant proposes to replat the south half of Lot 2 and all of Lot 3, Block 12,
Kimball South Park Addition into two (2) lots for the construction of two (2) single
family residences. The property is currently occupied by a single family residence
which will be removed from the site. An alley right-of-way is located along the rear
(east) property line.
The proposed lot sizes are as follows:
Lot 2R – 37.5 feet by 140 feet
5,250 square feet (0.12 acre)
Lot 3R – 37.5 feet by 140 feet
5,250 square feet (0.12 acre)
Section 36-255 (d) (4) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum lot width
of 50 feet for lots in the R-3 zoning district. The applicant is requesting a variance
from this ordinance requirement to allow reduced lot width.
Section 31-232 (b) of the Subdivision Ordinance allows a residential lot to be no
more than three (3) times as deep as it is wide. The applicant is requesting a
variance from this requirement to allow increased lot width-to-depth ratio for both
lots.
Staff is supportive of the requested replat/lot split to allow for the construction of
two (2) single family homes. There are examples of other small lots, lot splits and
lot recombinations within this general area. Staff believes that the replat request
is reasonable.
