-� 4.0 REVIEW OF REQUEST .-. 2 4.1 The existing property is about 60 feet wide and approximately 264 feet deep, has a total 3 developable area of 15,900 square feet, and has frontage along Dale Street as well as Alta 4 Vista Drive. 5 4.2 The parcel has a zoning designation of R-1, Single-Family Residence District, and a 6 Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of LR, Low Density Residential. 7 4.3 The table below illustrates the dimensions and overall area of the proposed new parcels 8 compared to the minimum requirements established in the City Code. 9 Parcel Width (ft.) Depth (ft.) Area (sq. ft.) New Parcel A 60 128 7,700 New Parcel B 60 126-148 8,200 Minimum Code Requirements 85 I10 11,000 � 0 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS 11 5.1 No new public street or public utility construction would be necessary to serve the 12 proposed new parcel, and while there is capacity in the system, a new sewer and water � 3 lateral connection (at the owner's cost) would be necessary for new Parcel A; a private 14 easement on Parcel B in favor of Parcel A would be required to ensure the availability of 15 these utilities. Pursuant to § 1103.07 (Park Dedication) of the City Code, a park dedication �6 fee would not be required because the area subject to the proposed minor subdivision is 17 less than one acre. 18 5.2 Drainage easements consistent with Code requirements cannot be accommodated on 19 Parcel B because of the location of the existing house, but would be required for Parcel 2o A. 21 5.3 Section 1012.01 (Lot Provisions) of the City Code specifies that any parcel that was 22 created prior to May 21, 1959, and that has dimensions and area of at least 70% of the 23 current minimum requirements is a legally buildable parcel even though it is smaller than 24 the Code's minimum standards. That is, a house may be built on any parcel having at 25 least 59.5 feet of width, 77 feet of depth, and 7,700 square feet of overall lot area, 26 provided that the parcel was created before May 1959. Although the dimensions and area 2� of the proposed new parcels would meet or exceed these 70% values, neither would 28 qualify as nonconforming-but-buildable by virtue of the fact that they will have been 29 created after 1959. 30 5.4 The area surrounding the current proposal was platted in 1876, and several parcels in the 3� triangle bounded by Alta Vista Drive, Dale Court, and Dale Street remain unchanged 32 from that original plat; most of these "original" parcels are smaller than the Code has 33 allowed since the ordinance was adopted in 1959. Since then, several minor subdivisions 34 have been considered; these are illustrated in Attachment C, and the more relevant 35 contextual information follows here: PF07-060 RCA 112607 Page 2 of 6
