Minnesota Avenue. 4, Given the development of the Temple and housing along Minnesota Avenue, that connection is no longer possible or desirable. Therefore, the Westby's and the Temple are seeking to have that easement vacated. Engineering staff has reviewed this request and concurs that the easement is not necessary for street purposes and therefore, can be vacated. 5, The Westby's other land lies to the west of their residence, between Lovell Avenue and the Buddhist Temple property, extending to the east line of the Concordia Meadows townhouse planned unit development. The parcel is 145 feet deep by 194.6 feet long and is approximately 28,000 sq. ft. in size. The proposed lot division would create two lots. One lot would have 94.62 feet of frontage and would be 13,717 sq. ft. in size. The second lot would have about 100 feet of frontage and would be approximately 14,000 sq. ft. in size, Lots in the R-l and R-2 zoning districts are required to have a lot width of 85 feet and lot area of 11,000 sq. ft. Both of the proposed lots meet these standards, 6. The Westby's are also proposing that the westerly parcel be rezoned to R-2 Two Family Residence District in order that they may build a double bllilgalow for two relatives to live in. This lot is adjacent to the Concordia Meadows Townhouse planned unit development and it is the Westby's feeling that the two family residence would make a good transition to the single family neighborhood along Lovell Avenue. It would be their intention to develop the other new parcel as a single family residence sometime in the future. 7. On May 11, 1994, the Planning Commission llilanimously recommended approval of the vacation of right-of-way easements and the subdivision of a 28,000 sq. ft. lot into two lots each exceeding 13,000 sq, ft. in size along Lovell Avenue as per staff recommendation. The Planning Commission, on a 2..5 vote, recommended denial of James Westby's request for a rezoning from R~l to R~2 at 480 Lovell Avenue. 2
