Zoning File #1535 May 16, 1990 Page 2 of 2 5. The proposed lot line leaves a setback of 10.88' from the residence on the Butterfield property to the new lot line. The garage at 3765 Watertown Road will be 6.0 feet from the new lot line. Obviously, neither of these setbacks meet the current standards for the RR-lA zone, which would require a 50' side setback for a principal residence and a minimum 10' side setback for this size garage. However, since these buildings are existing, and because the proposed lot line in the area of those buildings follows the fence line historically thought to be the property line, this application should not be considered as granting a variance for setbacks, but merely as a lot line rearrangement to better accommodate existing buildings. Discussion - I am advised by Mr. Fafinski representing Gerda Kennedy and the Cooks, and by Ned Butterfield, that all parties involved have agreed to this lot line rearrangement to settle their property dispute, and that all parties will agree to filing of the appropriate documents. Staff would n ce that the 2 triangular parcels have net been shown as separate tracts for purposes of our resolution/combination requirement, hence the surveyor will be advised to label these 2 tracts and describe them separately, per our standard metes and bounds lot line rearrangement procedure. Regarding how this division affects the principal residence structures on each property, tno visually perceived lot line will not change. The new lot line will increase the east side setback of 3765 Watertown Road from 32’ to just over the required 50'. The west side setback for 3745 Watertown Road will decrease from approximately 39' to about 10'. Regarding lot width, at the 100' setback line, each property previously contained approximately 213' in width, both short of the 300' standard. The new arrangement will decrease the defined width of 3745 Watertown Road to approximately 193', while increasing that of 3765 Watertown Road to approximately 233'. Staff Reconraendation - This is merely a lot line rearrangement and is not creating ar’- jiK-w lots, but is solving an existing problem and placing a loc line generally in a location where all parties involved historically perceived that line to be located. Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement, subject to combination of the triangular parcels with the appropriate larger tracts, as shown on the surve* .
