Staff presented an overview of the development stating there were few additional items necessary to complete the review process. Staff stated the proposal was to allow four (4) existing platted lots to be replatted into a single lot. Staff stated the replatting would create a double frontage lot, which created a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance, thus the need for Planning Commission review and approval. Staff questioned if there would be any fences located within the front setback along Pine View Place. The applicant stated all fencing would meet the required setbacks. Public Works comments were noted. Staff stated any broken curb, gutter or sidewalk located within the public right of way was required to be replaced prior to execution of the final plat. The applicant stated minor damage had been caused by the developer of the new home on Pine View Place. Staff stated they would review the condition to determine if the damage was significant enough for repair. 3 April 3, 2014 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 1 Cont. FILE NO.: S-128-NNN Staff noted the comments from the various other agencies. There were no more issues for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: There were no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing raised at the March 12, 2014, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request is to allow a replat of four (4) existing residential lots into a single residential lot. One lot has frontage on Pleasant Forest Drive and the remaining three (3) lots have frontage on Pine View Place. The applicant has indicated a driveway will be extended from his existing residence to the new rear lot line located on Pine View Place to allow ingress and egress from his home onto Pine View Place. The request includes a variance from Section 31-232(d) to allow the creation of a double frontage lot. Upon completion of the replat the property will have frontage on Pleasant Forest Drive and Pine View Place. Staff does not feel the variance will adversely impact the lots or the area. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request.
