The two lots that are proposed, meet all minimum interior lot size, width, and depth requirements. The lot division does not place the existing two family structure fronting on Wheeler Street in violation of any setback requirements. The lot proposed to be created for future development is large enough that a two family structure can be built on the property within all setback requirements. No park dedication is required for a division of a platted lot. Eneineering Considerations The Engineering Department has the following comments regarding the above referenced planning file: 1. The survey shows a right-of-way of33 feet for Fairview Avenue. City records show that an additional 10 feet of right-of-way was granted with easement document No. 2063633 in November, 1979. The survey should be corrected to show the additional easement. 2. The proposed lot abutting Fairview Avenue currently does not have a sanitary sewer service. A sanitary sewer main exists in the east boulevard ofFairview Avenue currently. The Engineering Department may be contacted if as-builts are necessary. A sewer permit will be required before the sewer can be extended. 3. The existing garage is proposed to be used when Parcel B is developed. Currently the garage has maintenance equipment for the adjacent two family units owned by Mr. Seaberg. The existing north setback of the garage does not confonn to the current 5 foot requirement The structure would be considered a legal nonconforming structure. If the lot division is approved the current garage use would become nonconforming because it would be an accessory use without a principle use. The applicant has not provided staff with a time frame for when the new two family dwelling would be constructed. To address this situation Mr. Seaberg could construct the new dwelling within a reasonable time frame, remove the garage, or apply for an interim use permit. Summary and Conclusion: The site under consideration is approximately 37,260 square feet in size and is zoned R-2, two family residential. The proposed lot division would create a new two family lot that would be consistent with the City's zoning ordinance and Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Both lots would meet the minimum size and frontage requirements for R-2 development and will not require variances for construction. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of David Seaberg's request for a lot division at 3095 Wheeler Street subject to the following conditions: 1. That the survey be corrected to show the additional right-of- way granted with easement 2
