V94-14 Froehlich Page 2 <br /> Continued <br /> • therefore, a lot area variance will be required as part of the certificate of <br /> exemption from subdivision regulations. <br /> CERTIFICATE OF EXEMPTION FROM SUBDIVISION <br /> REGULATIONS <br /> The certificate of exemption from subdivision regulations process is a <br /> mechanism to administratively allow the separation of a lot for the purpose of <br /> attachment to contiguous parcels, provided that no residual parcel is left <br /> unattached, thereby, no new parcels are created. The certificate of exemption <br /> from subdivision regulations is administered by staff and does not require <br /> Planning Commission or City Council approval. Through the certificate of <br /> exemption process, staff does ensure that all the adjusted parcels meet the <br /> City's minimum standards in terms of lot size, width, etc. <br /> DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS <br /> The property is zoned Al, which requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres and <br /> 300 feet of frontage. As shown on the attached site plan, the gross acreage of <br /> Mr. Alvin Froehlich's parcel is 10 acres, however, a portion of the 10 acres is <br /> within the right-of-way of 213th Avenue and Jarvis Street. According to the <br /> • Zoning Ordinance, when calculating minimum lot area, right-of-way is not <br /> included; the actual lot area falls short by 1.03 acres. The lot does however <br /> meet the minimum width requirements of 300 feet. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> There have been two similar variances just to the south of this area in 1994, <br /> involving Trott Brook Estates, and an Administrative Subdivision by Jeff <br /> Mastley. Both variances were very similar to the applicants request and <br /> were approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. <br /> The proposed variance lies within the Al zoning district, which requires a 10 <br /> acre minimum lot size. The intent of the Al zoning district was to allow 4 <br /> units per 40 acres. This proposal would remain consistent with the 4 per 40 <br /> rule. The lot size would also be consistent with other lots in the immediate <br /> area, therefore, the variance would not be detrimental to the surrounding <br /> property values and would be keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br /> ordinance. <br /> • <br /> V94-14Fr/pc <br />
