Zoning File #1420 June 14, 1989 Page 2 of 6 LOT 2 A Existing Hardcover Proposed Required Variance Lot Area Lot Width* 0-75' 75-250' 4. 0.96 ac (0.90 ac**) 1.00 ac .04 ac ( .lOac**) 300' + 140 11.05% 250-500' 3.62% 0% 25% max. 30% max. (see Item 4 below) ** Excluding driveway serving neighbors The proposed dividing line was apparently located as presented for a number of reasons: A) The proposed line leaves exactly 25% hardcover in the 75-250' zone for the existing development on Lot 1. B) This line also leaves a setback of approximately 7' to the driveway serving the existing residence. Applicant feels such a setback is appropriate and necessary to maintain the character of his property. Consequently, Lot 2 ends up 0.04 acre short of 1 acre. Technically, the subdivision code definition of lot area requires exclusion of vehicular easements from the defined lot area. Although applicant has not provided documentation of existing easements on the survey, staff must presume that an access easement exists over proposed Lot 2 to serve the residences at 1330 and 1350 Vine Place. The paved area of that private driveway 's approximately 2,800 s.f. or .06 acre, hence the defined proposed lot area for Lot 2 is 0.90 acre or less. Planning Commission ma^ sh to review the minimum lot area definitions in Section .03.24 and 10.02.34 and consider whether this driveway n. /%.es the northerly and southerly portions of Lot 2 non-contiguous. The probable building site on Lot 2 is north of the easement driveway, mostly in the 250-500' hardcover zone. If the 250-500' zone for Lot 1 was expanded to make Lot I's 250- 500' zone conform to hardcover limits, the proposed dividing line would move south about 65'. On the other hand, if the 250-500' hardcover variance for Lot 1 is granted, with the proposed dividing line. Lot 2 would have ample hardcover allowance to develop a residence within the hardcover limits. G
