The submitted survey includes a <br />preliminary plan for the new dwelling on the property. Additionally, the applicants have <br />provided a draft floor plan of the main level of the new home. A Building Permit would be <br />required for the new home construction and would be subject to administrative review for <br />compliance with the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />The following three variances are needed for the proposed Minor Subdivision: <br />• Lot width of 42.5 feet for the property at 3417 Lake Johanna Boulevard (85-foot <br />minimum lot width is required for R-2 District). <br />• Landscape lot area of 60.23 percent for the property at 3417 Lake Johanna Boulevard <br />(minimum landscape lot area of 65 percent is required for R-2 District). <br />• Deviation from Section 1150.04 of the Subdivision Code, which requires that Minor <br />Subdivision proposals meet the required lot dimensions in order to be eligible for <br />division. <br /> <br />A survey depicting the new lot line, the location of existing buildings on the properties, and the <br />proposed structure setback distances is included in Attachment C. <br />2.
