North Heights Hardware, Case No. 2199 Page .. c. Division of Platted Lot If the issues related to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezoning can be resolved, the addition of Parcel A to the existing North Heights lot is quite straightforward. Parcel B is to remain a single-family lot and the creation of this parcel should meet the same test as any other lot split. That test is simply whether this new lot to be created will meet the standards in the R-1 District and, if not, is it consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood? As noted, the lots fronting on Rice street to the south are very large; in many cases nearly two lots wide. The lots behind the subject parcel are 95 feet, although there is one 75-foot-wide lot on County Road C. The lot to be created is 18,378 square feet. well in excess of the required lot size. Its characteristics that will not conform to the standard is its 83-foot width (85-foot standard) a 7-foot side yard setback (10-foot standard). It is only R-1 and d. Variances Two variances are included as part of this application. The first is to allow the addition to be setback 7 feet from the west property line as opposed to the required 20 feet.

The constraints on the site would seem to constitute sufficient hardship to justify this variance. The second variance relates to the proposed setback between the existing house and the line. This dimension resulted from the dimensions for aisles and parking stalls. 8.2-foot new lot required LandscaDing If you recall, the discussion regarding the application several months ago, there were several variances granted for this property in the past. The site plan processed along with the variance application showed the frontage along Rice street landscaped. That landscaping was never installed.
