The applicant is seeking a replat of three (3) existing residential lots located in the Heights into two (2) lots. Lot 1 R will continue to contain the existing single-family residence. Lot 3R is proposed for future development of a new single-family home. 3 November 19, 2015 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 Cont. FILE NO.: S-1244-B The lots are proposed with a minimum width of 105-feet and 40-feet and a minimum depth of 145-feet. The lots will contain 13,918 square feet (Lot 1 R) and 5,606 square feet (Lot 3R). Lot 3R is proposed with a variance to allow a reduced lot width. The lot width typically required per the R-3, Single-family zoning district is 50-feet. The lot is indicated with a lot width of 40-feet. The request also includes a variance to allow an increased lot depth to width ratio for proposed Lot 3R. The lot is proposed 40-feet by 145-feet. The lot is proposed with a depth to width ratio of 3.63. Staff is supportive of the applicant's request. The plat is proposed with variances but staff does not feel the variances are significant and will adversely impact the development pattern of the area. The Heights has various lot sizes and home sizes ranging from homes constructed on multiple lots to homes constructed on portions of lots previously subdivided. Staff feels the lot width of 40-feet will allow adequate area for the future construction on a home of the lot. To staff's knowledge there are no remaining outstanding technical issues associated with the request.
