2.3 The City is requesting variances from Section 1 004.02(D)(5) to reduce the lot area of a comer lot to 10,875 square feet and the lot width of a corner lot to 87 feet. The property at 2100 William Street is 40' x 125' (5,000 sf) and is occupied by a substandard single family residence. The property south of 2100 William Street is a vacant 47' x 1251 (5,875 sf) parcel. By combining the two parcels and demolishing the substandard dwelling, a parcel for one new single family home can be created. The lot will also be similar to other lots on the block, as all of the existing lots on William Street between Burke Avenue and County Road B are less than 11,000 square feet in area. 2.4 The City is also requesting a variance from Section 1 004.02(D) to reduce the north side yard setback to five feet and a variance from Section 1004.01 (E) to reduce the south front yard setback to 30 feet for the purpose of establishing a building envelope for a new single family dwelling at 2100 William Street North. Both of these parcels were parcels of record on May 21,1959 and require a side yard setback of five feet; however, once the parcels are combined into a new parcel, the current 10 foot side yard setback applies. In addition, the houses to the east on Burke Avenue are set back 75 to 80 feet from the front property line along Burke Avenue. Section 1004.01 (E) requires new buildings to be constructed in line with the predominant front yard depth of established buildings, up to a setback of 40 feet. A front yard setback of 30 feet on William Street and the rear yard setback of 30' on the east side of the parcel would continue to apply. With the setbacks as proposed, a 52' x 65' building envelope would be created. 2.5 Section 1004.01(D), City Code, requires a minimum lot area of 12,500 square feet, a minimum lot width of 100 feet, and a minimum lot depth of 100 feet for a corner lot in an R-1 zoning district. This Section also requires a minimum front yard setback of 30 feet, a minimum side yard setback of 10 feet, and a minimum rear yard setback of 30 feet. Section 1004.01(E) requires buildings constructed after May 21, 1959, to conform to the existing and predominant front yard setback depth; however, a front yard of more than 40 feet in depth shall not be required. Section 1012.01(8) of the City Code requires a side yard setback of five feet for platted lots or parcels of record existing on May 21, 1959. The existing house is currently less than 5' from the north property line. Section 1013.02 outlines the criteria and procedure for considering a variance. Section 1104.04 outlines the requirements for a minor subdivision, including the consolidation of two or more contiguous parcels or lots of record. No hearing or City Council action is required for such a consolidation. RCA (PF#3001 B) - 06/08/98 - Page 2 of 4
