Memo to Planning Commission <br />June 25, 1996 <br /> <br />Dimensional Requirements <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The proposed subdivision will create two lots, each meeting the minimum <br />frontage requirement of 160 feet. As mentioned above, one of the two lots <br />will satisfy the lot size standards while the westerly (Parcel A) lot will be .2 <br />acres shy of the 2-1/2 acre minimum lot size. The existing home on Parcel A <br />will meet all setback requirements based on the new lot lines. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />In reviewing the application, staff believes the following fin din gs can be met <br />to justify the variance request: <br /> <br />The intent of the Rla minimum lot size requirement of 2-1/2 acres is <br />not diminished by granting the requested variance. <br /> <br />Literal apphcation of the lot size requirements would deprive the <br />applicant the opportunity for subdivision of the property. <br /> <br />If the additional 17 feet of right-of-way along Zebulon was not needed, <br />the minimum lot size could be achieved. <br /> <br />The variance of .2 acres is the minimum requested to meet the intent <br />of the ordinance. <br /> <br />The variance will not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of <br />the community and will be in keeping with the City's past actions on <br />similar requests. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the .2 <br />acre variance request by Darren and Elizabeth Duffy based on the t~inc]ings <br />outlined in the staff report. <br /> <br />s:\plauui,~ g\pc\v96-6.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
