<br />Bruce AndersoD, Case No. 2465 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />3. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan & Zonina Code References <br /> <br />The property is guided LR - Low Density Residential and is zoned <br />R-1 single Family Residential. The proposed plat is consistent <br />with the Plan and the zoning Code. <br /> <br />Plannina Considerations <br /> <br />There are two separate issues: whether the street vacation is <br />reasonable and whether the proposed plat is reasonable. The <br />street vacation appears reasonable since there is no pUblic <br />purpose to the segment of right-of-way being vacated and it is not <br />likely that there will ever be a need for a public street in this <br />location, given the surrounding development and land use. <br /> <br />The minimum standards in the Code for single family lots are 85' <br />width, 110' depth, and 11,000 square feet in area. The lots meet <br />the requirement for depth and area, but not for width. This <br />entire neighborhood was platted with 75'-wide lots. with the 15' <br />adjustment of the lot lines described above, the three lots in the <br />new plat are all at least 75' wide and are consistent with the <br />existing character of this area. <br /> <br />The new lot lines will leave a 5' side yard setback to both of the <br />existing homes, which is also consistent with the side setbacks in <br />this neighborhood. <br /> <br />Parks & Open Space <br /> <br />Park dedication is required for all plats. A fee of $500 in lieu <br />of land dedication will be required for the one new lot that is <br />being created. <br /> <br />4. CONCLUSION <br /> <br />The proposed street vacation is reasonable and appropriate, given <br />the context within the City. The proposed plat is consistent with <br />City size and depth standards, and with the the lot widths in the <br />existing surrounding neighborhood. We recommend approval of both <br />requests. <br />
