Lot Divisions or preliminary plats in areas where the prevailing lot width is less than the current standards, have been allowed to be consistent with the neighborhood, providing of course, it is possible to build a reasonable single family home on the lot without creating the need for a sideyard setback variance request. Bigelbach Preliminary Plat Parcel A Parcel B Parcel C Lot Size 15,941 Sq. Ft. Lot Width 77.5 Feet 15,959 Sq. Ft. 77.5 Feet 28,832 Sq. Ft. 136 Feet The two lots proposed to front on Western Avenue, while well in excess of the minimmn size of 11,000 sq. ft., are proposed to have 77.5 feet of frontage. A number of lots on Western Avenue and Eldridge Avenue, and in that general area, are in the 75 to 80 foot of frontage range, and these lots would be consistent with the lots in this area. 77-1/2 feet is a wide enough lot to build a reasonable single family home without the request for a variance. A reasonable condition of approval would be to stipulate that building pennits for the newly created lots not include a request for a variance to setback requirements. 3. ENGINEERJNG CONSIDERATIONS The Engineering Department has reviewed this application for a preliminary plat for tluee lots and have indicated that it will be necessary to build sewer and water connections to the two lots being created along Western Avenue. The Department has also pointed out that new curb cuts along Western Avenue will have to be created for the driveways to the new homes. Parcel A will require some filling and a careful review of the proposed drainage patterns will need to occur prior to the issuance of a building pennit. 2. SUMM^RY AND CONCLUSION: The site lUlder consideration is 1.4 acres in size and is zoned R -1 single Family development. The proposed preliminary plat wiU create two new 6( e )-2
