SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (August 29, 2018) The applicant was present. Staff presented an overview of the item stating there were few outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the proposed replat. Staff stated the requested replat was to recognize existing conditions and to allow the plat to reflect the current property lines. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated a radial dedication of right of way was required at the intersection of South Izard Street and West 19t" Street. Staff stated the car was to be pulled into the garage and not placed to block the sidewalk. Staff noted the comments from the various other departments and agencies. Staff suggested the applicant contact the departments or agencies directly with any questions or concerns. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. The applicant submitted a revised plat to staff indicating the radial dedication of right of way as requested by Public Works staff. There were no other modifications necessary to complete the review process. The request is a replat of three (3) existing lots to recognize existing conditions on each of the lots. The replat includes Lots 6, 7 and 8, Block 11, Weldon E. Wright's Addition to the City of Little Rock. The lots are proposed to be replatted as Lots 6R, 7R-A, 7R-B and Lot 8R, Block 11, Weldon E. Wright's Addition. The home located at 806 West 19t" Street sits on portions of Lots 7 and 8, Block 11, Weldon E. Wright's Addition. The remainder of the lots are occupied by a home located at 1868 South State Street and a non-residential building located at 1872 South State Street. There is a garage located on the rear portion of Lot 6, Block 11, Weldon E. Wright's Addition the owner of 806 West 19t" Street desires to purchase. The replatting is to allow the home and the garage located at 806 West 19t" Street to be located on a single lot. 0 September 20, 2018 SUBDIVISION J M NO.: 1 (Cont. S-1603-A The replatting of Lot 6, Block 11, Weldon E. Wright's Addition would remove the garage from Lot 6, 1871 South Izard Street, (to be replatted as Lot 6R) and place the garage with the replatted Lot 7R-A. The replat includes several variances. The applicant is seeking approval to allow reduced lot areas for the new lots. The applicant is also seeking variances for setbacks, front, side and rear, to recognize the placement of the homes and garages as currently site on the lots today. The property is zoned R-4, Two-family District. The lot depth typical of this zoning district is 100-feet with a typical lot width of 70-feet. The minimum lot area typical of this zoning district is 7,000 square feet. Lot 6R is proposed with a depth of 123- feet and is 50-feet wide with a lot area of 6,150 square feet. Lot 7R-A is proposed with a lot depth along the western portion of the lot of 50-feet and the eastern portion of the lot of 75-feet. The lot width is proposed along West 19th Street 82- feet. The lot area of Lot 7R-A is proposed containing 5,511 square feet. Lot 7R-B is proposed with a lot depth of 95-feet and a lot width of 50-feet. The lot area proposed is 4,750 square feet. Lot 8R is proposed with a lot depth of 95-feet along the southern boundary, along West 19th Street, and 150-feet along the northern boundary. The lot area proposed for Lot 8R is 6,151 square feet. The front yard setback for the home located at 806 West 19th Street is 13-feet and the rear yard setback is 14-feet. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The applicant is seeking the replat to recognize existing conditions. It appears the homes were built in the 1940's and 1950's with disregard to the platted lots. There appear to be a number of homes in the area which were also constructed on portions of lots. Staff supports the replatting as proposed to recognize the existing conditions of the developed lots and to allow the replatting of Lot 6 to allow the owner of the adjacent property located at 806 West 19th Street to purchase the garage, rehab the garage and to allow the use of the garage by the home owner at 806 West 19th Street. To staffs knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the replat. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the request subject to compliance with the comments and conditions as outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of the agenda staff report. Staff recommends approval of the variance request to allow reduced lot areas, lot widths and setbacks for the lots as proposed. `/ September 20, 2018 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont.
