Landscape: No comment. G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (November 12, 2009) The applicant was not present. Staff presented the item to the Committee stating the request was to allow two (2) lots to become three (3). Staff stated at the time the subdivision was final platted the area was three lots and was later replatted into two (2). Staff stated there were no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing related to the proposed replat. There was no further discussion of the item. 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 November 12, 2009, Subdivision Committee meeting. The request is to allow two (2) single-family residential lots to become three (3) residential lots. At the time the final plat was approved the area contained three (3) lots. During construction of the owners home he decided to recombine the lots into two (2) lots. He has since decided to take the lots back to the original configuration with a slight modification to the lot lines allowing for three (3) lots. As with the original approval the lots are indicated with a fifteen (15) foot front building line. Lots 14RR and 13R-B are indicated with a minimum lot area which is consistent with the R-2, Single-family Zoning District. Lot 13R-A is indicated with 5,986 square feet. As with the original approval all the lots are indicated with a reduced lot width at the building line. Lot 14RR is indicated with a 34-foot lot width, Lot 13R-B a 32-foot lot width and Lot 13R-A a 40-foot lot width. Staff is supportive of the request. Staff does not feel the subdivision of the lots into three (3) residential lots as proposed will impact the area. The lots are proposed with similar lot widths, areas and setbacks as the original approval with a slight modification to the originally approved lot lines.
