~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: August 1,2007 PC Agenda Item 4.B TO: Planning Commission FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner SUBJECT: Lot Coverage/Landscaping for 3238 Lake Lane ATTACHMENT: Location Map & Site Ma~ Reanested Action Staff is requesting direction on the lot coverage issue at 3238 Lake Lane and the use pervious pavers in the driveway. Background At some point in the past, three lots from the Lake Josephine Villas plat were purchased and combined into one lot with one house (see Location Map). The three lots became 3230 Lake Lane. In late 2005, a request was made to the City to allow 3230 Lake Lane to be reverted back to the three "lots of record" that made up the 3230 Lake Lane parcel. Area Isf) Width III Lot 1 5,510 44 Lot 2 6,098 50 Lot 3 6,098 50 rotal 17,860 Minimum 11,000 85 When combined, the three lots exceeded the minimum 11,000 square foot lot size and minimum 85 foot lot width in the R-2 Zone. However, when separated, none of the three platted lots met the minimum lot width or area requirements. Due to a loophole in the Subdivision Code, the City was required to allow the lots to be reverted back to the nonconforming platted lots without going through the subdivision process despite their nonconforming status under the current regulations. That loophole has since been closed. The lots were still required to meet the setback and coverage provisions in the R-2 Zone. Morr Construction purchased the vacant Lots 1 and 2 (see Location Map). Lot 3 has an existing dwelling. Surveys of Lots 1 and 2 were completed by the property owner, building plans were submitted, and building permits were ultimately issued for Lots 2 and 3 by the City.
