HomeMy WebLinkAbout1974-05-20 Memo, Zoning VarianceTO:
Planning Commission
FROM:
Dexter %larston, Zoning Administrator
DATE:
'lay 20, 1974
SUBJECT:
Simple Subdivision
PETITIO14ER:
Clinton Berg
LOCATION:
4080 Bayside Faad
Proposed Zoning: RR -IA 5 acres
Present Land Use: l Home on 16 acres
Proposed Use : Divide off approximately 2 acres around the existing
hoine on Bayside Road
STAFF REVIEWAL: The petitioner proposes to divide approximately 2 acres surround-
ing the home off from 1 16 acre tract. Since the proposed zoning for this area
would be 5 acre minimum, the subdivision would require a variance. I have asked
the petitioner to submit a contour map of his property since he claims that a
hardship exists due to the lay of the land surrounding the house. To the reir of
the home is a ravine and to the east is a steep slope. Mr. Berg claims that if
he were required to conform to the 5 acre minimum that much of the land would be
of little value ro the buyer of the home in that this land would more logically
be included in the remainder of the property.
STAFF �ECOMdENDATION: A public hearing should be scheduled by the Planning Com-
mission for the June meeting at which time Dr. Berg should have a contour map avail-
able for examination. Until a contour map is available, I do not feel that the
Planning Commission can determine j reasonable size for the lot that is to be
created.
