Request for Council Action continued Page 3 December 6, 2000 #2634 G& G HoldineCompanv_____ Proposed Lot Size Lot Width (lake) Lot Width (front) 8,500 s.f. 55.6 feet 30 feet Lots in the LR-IB district are required to be 140' wide at the front yard setback. Each lot would require a variance to permit a lot width less than what the district requires and a variance to lot area and width. Discussion Item An adjacent property owner located across Loma Linda from the proposed building site on Parcel A is concerned about the impact of vacating the service road. There house is located above Loma Linda looking down towards the lake. Vacating the service road and transferring the entire 20' to Parcel A would allow the property owner of parcel A to build with a 30' rear setback to the new property line. Without vacating the alley the lot would have a setback requirement of 35' to any lot line adjacent to a street. The greater setback would apply to lots adjacent to any right-of-way whether it is developed or not developed. The rear setback would be 10' from the right-of-way line before vacation. The property owner is concerned that by vacating the service road would case him to lose part of his view to the lake. The City owned service road was con;;idered when a they installed large bay window. The Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommended a greater setback be required to the new rear lot line. The recommended setback is 50' for all structure rather than the 30' as required by the zoning standards. Staff has visited the site to determine the impact of easement vacation and has determined the best view to the lake is actually across the adjacent propert>’ to the south Lot 14. The service road portion of the property is thick'y wooded with mature trees. The property owner would like to develop the property to allow parcel A to have a view to the lake. By requiring a 50' setback would place the house directly behind another house. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation of the portion of the service road that is not intended for public use and recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement as proposed subject to the following conditions: 1.Applicant shall grant drainage and utility easements along new property lines. 2.Applicant shall provide to the City any documentation relating to easements on both properties. 3.Variances be granted for lot width and lot area for both Lots A and B and both shall be considered RECOPJD LOTS. 4.Applicant shall grant an access and utility easement over vacated portion of service road that is required for uti’’ty access 5.A 50' rear yard setback be required for the Lot known as Parcel A.
