Zoning I'lle #1958 August 8, 1994 Page 3 Planning Commission encouraged a reduction in density to citter the two unit PRD or lot line rearrangement of two units. One member strongly encouraged applicant to consider combining all three parcels into one unit. The lot standards have been considerably improved w ith the proposed realignment. This subdivision does not involve ll» creation of new lots. The subdivision will result in the elimination of one existing lot of record. Access Review Exhibit E-3. During the 1992 sketch plan review, access for the two lot division was to be a shared access at Shoreline Drive.

The current application involves a single access to Lot 1 at the existing most eastern access at Shoreline. Access at Dunwoody is not shown nor is it recommended along the 55* of frontage.

The City will ask for detailed grading and drainage plans with each redevelopment plan for the two lots.

The boarded up structures and deteriorated conditions on Parcel B are a constant source of complaints from surrounding residents, not so much immediate neighbors but residents of the Casco Point neighborhood and residents who regularly drive past the property on Shoreline Drive. The condition of the property and the boarded up structures continue to be a blight to the area. It is staffs understanding that several property owners may appear at your meeting in support of the replat which will eventually result in the redevelopment of the site. In any event, with the approval of this subdivision, the City must ask that the applicant/owner provide a schedule for the dates
