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