f .� Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Board of Adjustments 4.1 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Board of Adjustments I November 25,2014 Zack Carlton,Planner I <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Request by Reg Powell for 20 Foot Reduction of Jeremy Barnhart, Deputy Director CODD <br /> the Minimum Lot Depth Reviewed by <br /> Case No.V 14-02 <br /> Action Requested <br /> By motion, approve,approve with conditions,or deny the proposed variance that would allow two <br /> parcels below the minimum lot depth of 130 feet in the R-1c Single Family Residential district. If the <br /> variance is denied, specific reasons shall be stated. <br /> If the Board finds that the request does not meet the requirements for a variance,the item will appear <br /> before the City Council on appeal December 15,2014. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Reg Powell,representing the property owner,is proposing to split the lot at 19375 Oxford St NW into <br /> two buildable parcels.The variance request is part of an application packet that includes the lot spit <br /> request,which the City Council is scheduled to review on December 15,2014. The variance is for the <br /> creation of two parcels,both of which will be below the minimum lot depth of 130'in the R-1c district. <br /> The new lots meet design standards for minimum lot size at 11,000 SF, and minimum lot width at 100 <br /> feet measured at setback line. <br /> City ordinance describes the R-1c zoning district as "intended to provide single-family residences ... in <br /> areas that are a continuation of existing residential development patterns and the infilling of existing lots <br /> in established areas."The current parcel is larger than average for the zoning district,and the new lot <br /> would be sold for use as a single-family residence in an established neighborhood. <br /> The current lot is uniquely shaped due to the angle of Norfolk Street as it approaches Highland Road. <br /> The proposed lots are deep enough along the southern property line with proposed depths of 130 feet <br /> and 142.6 feet. However,along the northern property line the lot depths are approximately 111 feet each. <br /> City code defines lot depth as the minimum horizontal distance between the front and rear lot lines.With <br /> the minimum distance between the front and rear lot lines at 111 feet,the applicant requires a variance of <br /> 20 feet from the minimum lot depth. <br /> P 0 1 1 8 E 0 81 <br /> NATURE <br />
