HomeMy WebLinkAbout1974-03-08 Memo, Variance Req DetailsTO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dexter Marston
DATE: March 8, 1974
SUBJECT: Subdivision (simple) & Variance
Current Land Usa: I Home on 2 Lots
Comprehensive Plan: R-ID (1/2 acre)
PETITIONER: Donald Schultz a David Slavik
LOCATION: 1921 Fagerness Point Road
STAFF REVIEW: Mr. Slavik owns 2 lots with a total square footage of 23,000. He
would like to redraw the property lines as submitted on his sketch. At the pres-
ent time, one lot fronts on Fagerness Point Road and the second lot on Webb Street.
As the sketch indicates, Mr. Slavik would like to create two through lots that have
frontage on both Webb Street and Fagerness Point Road. The ordinance states through
lots should be avoided, whenever possible. There also will undoubtedly be pressure
in the future to subdivide those long narrow lots that have homes oriented towards
Fagerness Point Road.
Since two lots exist now, I do not see any problem with rearranging the lot
lines to allow two lots in the future. A variance is required, however, for the
I,,t width for both lots as they are shown on the attached sketch. The lot width
varies from 95 ft. on Fagerness Point Road to 45 ft. on Webb Street.
Mr. Slavik says he wants to redraw the property lines because it is very dif-
ficult to use the present driveway (steep slope). This does not, however, seem to
justify granting the variance that is requested from the lot width requirement.
