HomeMy WebLinkAboutS-0145 Staff AnalysisOctober 14, 1980 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 12 NAME: LOCATION: SUBJECT: REQUEST: -4'�1s Gary Shields 5522 Western Hills Avenue Street Improvement Variance To be allowed to file a two lot replat and be exempted from the requirement of curb and gutter on Western Hills Avenue and cul-de-sac on east side of Lassie Lane. STAFF REPORT A visit to this site presents very little material evidence that a variance is justified. The property to the south is platted, developed and improved on all boundary streets. The curb and gutter on Western Hills is completed to the corner of this lot. The termination of Lassie Lane at the west end of this tract suggests that the Commission in approval of that plat had in mind a continuation of Lassie Lane to Western Hills Avenue. A development such as that which would involve the land north of this owner's tract would be a better use of the land. However, the two lot proposal present here with one lot taking access on each street is not unreasonable. The problem obviously is sufficient to street cause to obtain two lots. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Denial of the requested variance. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the plat as filed. The owner has advised that a plat will be required for Planning Commission review next month and that improvements will be recommended for waiver. The vote - 2 ayes, 1 no. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The owner/applicant was present. There were no objectors. The request was discussed at length, with the result that a motion for approval as filed was made. The motion failed by a vote of 2 ayes, 6 nays, 3 absent. A second motion was made to approve a plat with no waivers. This motion passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent. l� C� October 14, 1980 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 13 NAME: Executive Park LOCATION• Section 3, T-1-N, R-13-W SE Corner I-430 at W.

Waiver of 45' building setback line along Interstate 430 (see attached letter). STAFF RECOMMENDATION Denial of the requested variance as staff believes this exposed site warrants the larger dimension plus this issue appears to be a one lot problem. We believe the lot in question should be dealt with separately. If a user proposes to keep the present structure we should design to the site and its setbacks rather than making the site fit a use/structure. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Approval as submitted, 25' building line, all of I-430 frontage. The vote - 3 ayes, 0 nays. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant, Mr. T. Moore, was present. There were no objectors. A lengthy discussion was held, with the result that a motion to approve as recommended by the Subdivision Committee was made and passed by a vote of 8 ayes, 0 nays, 3 absent.
