All of the lots comply with <br />the 11,000 square foot minimum lot size. There is not enough space between the existing <br />lots and the north boundary of the plat, along Street A, to provide a double loaded street and <br />lots that comply with the 130 foot minimum lot depth requirement. There are three lots on <br />the north side of Street A, Lots 6, 7 and 8, Block 1, that do not meet the minimum lot depth <br />requirement. The minimum lot depth is 130 feet; these lots range in depth from 93 feet to 96 <br />feet. Staff feels that it will be difficult to site houses on these lots and the plat should be <br />modified eliminate these lots. The applicant has provided a drawing showing how it might <br />be possible to fit houses on these lots and has also submitted a drawing eliminating those <br />lots which reduces the number of lots to 52. <br /> <br />S,\PLANNING\Case Files\2005\P 05-13 Pinewood Estates 2nd\P05-13CC8-15.doc <br />
