The existing parcel is 20,456 square feet in area and 79.5 feet in width. 2. The improvement of Burke Avenue created numerous through lots in this area. Since the mid-1970s, several lots in this area have been split such as that being proposed by the applicant; however. most of the lots allowed to be split were wider than this parcel. 3. The sanitary sewer service for the existing house will need to be re-routed to County Road B West, since there is not adequate width for a sanitary sewer easement across the south lot as proposed. A County permit will be required to work within the right-of-way of County Road B West. In addition, the relocation of the service line would need to be accomplished prior to the lot split being finalized by the City. 4.
