. Plat Design. Parcel III does not have access to a public street. Staffhas determined _ Parcel Ill's front yard to be the south side fronting on the private drive. Parcel III exceeds . code requirements in terms oflot depth and area. The lot width however, measured at the front setback line is 84.79 feet where 100 feet is required. The configuration of the parcel exceeds the minimum dimensions in the rear portion of the lot. The lot currently contains a parking lot and building addition under construction. The building is designed with the required fire wall protections to stand alone however, requires utilities such as heat, water, sewer, and garbage storage, utilities to be supplied form the existing building. The applicant is proposing the use of easements between the building to ensure utilities. Parcel IV abuts Lexington Avenue however, access to the site is off of the private drive. The parcel exceeds code requirements in terms oflot width, depth, and area. The existing building however, does not meet the required side yard setback. Easements. Easements will be needed for a variety of items in order to assure access and use of the parcels in the future as well as give the parcels the feel of one parcel. Easements for the following items will have to be created: . Access to both parcels from Fernwood and/or Lexington Avenue by means of the private drive and adjacent parcels. . Parking easements between all four parcels. . Private sewer and water easements between parcels. . Access to utilities in existing building (parcel IV) such as heater, air conditioner, water heater, electric, water, sewer, and trash area to addition (parcel III). Variance. The applicant is requesting variances for a zero building side yard setback where 20 feet is required, a 10 foot rear yard setback where 20 feet is required, and a zero parking setback where 5 feet is required. Findings. There have been several cases approved similar in nature to this proposal. The subdivision of the CSMlDynaMark property at 4255 and 4265 Lexington Avenue was split in a similar fashion with a zero lot line parking lot including access easements. The Control Data building a 4201 and 4233 Lexington Avenue was split by a zero lot line such that the parking, and utilities, and builidng are all divided into three lots. Therefore, the staff would find that this request is acceptable as long as their new property line remains "invisible" as was the case in the previous two examples. Deadline for Agency Actions.
