TO; <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />Planning Conunission and Council <br />Jeanne Mabusth, Zoning Administrator <br />June 20, 1980 <br />#568 <br />SUBJECT: #568 Daryle L. Uphoff, 2497/99 & 2501/03 Kelly Avenue <br />SUBDIVISION <br />SKETCH PLAN REVIEW <br />Subdivision: 4 lot plat <br />Zoning District: LR-IB Required - 1 acre minimum <br />Proposed - 1/2 acre minimum <br />The applicant proposes a four lot plat of Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, <br />Navarre Cove. The purpose of the subdivision is to create owner <br />occupied units. In dividing the lots in half to create the homestead <br />parcels, the applicant also creates substandard lots. Each lot would <br />contain a 1/2 acre as opposed to the required 1 acre. I reviewed the <br />City's concern with this type of division and suggested a PRD concept - <br />zero lot line through duplex structure retaining 10' patio area within <br />ownership lot and retaining common open area. In this type of proposal, <br />the integrity of the zoning district is maintained and the need <br />{^1^03 variance is eliminated. Uphoff advises that mortgage companies <br />would not consider lending mortgage money to proposed buyers of units <br />with lots of such minimal area (see Uphoff letter of June 13, 1980). <br />Please review the proposed plat. The following options are presented <br />for Planning Commission consideration: <br />1. Rezone to LR-IC (1/2 acre minimum) - maintain integrity of the <br />code - no variance required with the subdivision. <br />2. Require a PRD application (1 acre retained as open space) - maintain <br />the integrity of the code - no variance required with this application <br />3. Retain LR-IB zoning - approve plat as submitted - grant variance <br />for lot area based on lending institution position on minimal lots <br />and hope that theargument of the existing duplex structures seeking <br />zero lot line ownership will be strong enough to fight off future <br />developers seeking simil£u: concessions.
