Zoning File #1010 April 7, 1986 Page 5 of 6 2 - Are there unique findings that can be ma3e involving this property' Review the pattern of development within Shadywood plat 3 - Will the creation of a new residential unit alter the essential character of the neighborhood? Onlv 18 of the 41 lots are developed as originally designed. 14 residental units were increased in size by either combinations with adjacent lots or lot line divisions and combinations. It would appear since the plat was created that there has been a tendency to realign lot lines or combine to make lots bigger. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the subdivision and variance application of Duane Hall. Please review exhibit J, the Planning Commission minutes, for the back -ground discussion and findings for denial. Staff would ask Council to consider a more abbreviated review proce- dure for the "simple division" of legally combined lots. If single seperate lots can t 2 developed if they satisfy 80% of the area and width standards without Cc uncil approval than why not legally combined lots if the following findings can be met: 1 - division along existing lot. lire 2 - setbacks for existing structures can be satisfied (maybe allow up to a 50% setback variance) 3 - 80% of area standard exclusive of road rights of way and easments 4 - lot width variance not to exceed 50%... 60% 5 - consistent with current pattern of surrounding development Mike has completed a "quickie" survey of legally combined lots (not the combination of parts of lots - only whole lots) within the I.R-IC zoning district.. Gaffron 41entified 40 potential cases. Note that the location of existing st.ruc, has not been considered. If an abbreciAt.ed proce- dure was adopted 40 units would qualify (1 on Baldur Park, 2 on Shadywood and 1 or. _ cordia). All others lack the required 80% area if separated on existing lot lines. If Council favors a "simple division" process, staff would proceed with a complete survey of all sewered districts to determine the effects on existing densities and report back at a .later meeting.
