The applicant has also located the proposed driveway for the three lot development to line up with Shackleford West Blvd. as required by Public Works. The applicant is requesting a variance from the ordinance required minimum lot area for 0-2 zoned property. The ordinance requires a minimum lot area of two (2) acres. Lot 2 (0.37 acre) and Lot 3 (1.54 acres) are below the two acre minimum. 3 November 11, 1999 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 4 (Cont.) FILE NO.: S-1266 The applicant is also requesting a variance from the ordinance required minimum lot frontage for Lot 2. The minimum lot frontage for 0-2 zoned property is 200 feet. Lot 2 has a 125.9 foot proposed frontage on Shackleford Road. Staff supports the variances for minimum lot area and frontage as requested, based on the fact that the applicant has a specific development plan proposed for the property. The applicant is also requesting a deferral of street improvements for Kaufman Road (east boundary of Lot 1). Public Works recommends approval of the deferral of street improvements for Kaufman Road for a maximum of five (5) years, until adjacent development using Kaufman Road for access or until a public project, whichever occurs first. Otherwise, to staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with the preliminary plat. The proposed plat should have no adverse effect on the general area. H.
