Title
Public Hearing - Plat Approval with variance - V20-065 - Subdivision of one lot into two lots - 2.4 acres - Land Lot 337/384 - 3813 N Cooper Lake Rd - Corkey A. Welch
Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide one lot into two lots while retaining the existing R-15 zoning category. The property is currently occupied with two residential structures. The subdivision will allow each structure to occupy separate lots. Tract 1 will be 0.72 acres (31,279 sq. ft.) and Tract 2 will be 1.51 acres (65,620 sq. ft.). Ultimately the structure on Tract 2 will be demolished, however until such time occurs a side setback reduction from 10 feet to 2.3 feet is required while the structure remains.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Community Development has reviewed the proposed plat against the requirements of the R-15 zoning district. The variance for Tract 2 is necessary until such time that the existing structure is demolished. The subject property will maintain an R-15 zoning classification and will not increase the density for the property as two homes currently occupy the property. Community Development recommends approval of the requested reconfiguration and replatting with the following conditions:
1. A reduction of the side setback from 10’ to 2.3’.
2. Approval is conditioned upon substantial compliance with the site plan submitted October 21, 2020 and prepared by Gaskins.
