Ilte property is a vacant parcel without direct access to a road. Access to the property would be via a 33' platted right-ol-way that would be used for driveway access to the property. Exhibit B is a plat map illustrating the proposed location of the driveway and the building lot. B) Applicants also request vacation of a portion of the platted right-of-way that would not be used for driveway purposes. Variance: The variance requested is to permit the lot located at 420 Orchard Park Road to be considered a buildable lot that does not meet the 5 acre minimum lot size for the RR-1A zoning district. The lot is 4.34 acres in size but does have 300* of w idth at the defined front lot tine. By definition the front lot line is the east property line. Front property lines are defined as "That boundary of a lot which abuts an existing or dedicated public street, and in the cose of a comer lot it shall be the shortest dimension on a public street.'* Because the property is adjacent to a dedicated public street, although undeveloped, the shortest of the two property' lines adjacent to the dedicated right-of-way is considered the front lot line for zoning purposes.
