<br />V94-14 Froehlich <br />Continued <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />therefore, a lot area variance will be required as part of the certificate of . <br />exemption from subdivision regulations. <br /> <br />CERTIFICATE OF EXEMPTION FROM SUBDIVISION <br />REGULATIONS <br /> <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 /> <br />DIMENSIONAL REGULATIONS <br /> <br />The property is zoned AI, 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 /> <br />. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <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 />J\1astley. Both variances were very similar to the applicants request and <br />were approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. <br /> <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 />. <br /> <br />V94-14Fr/pc <br />
