2.2 Mr. Eggessa is requesting a variance from Section 1004.02(D) of the City Code to reduce the minimum lot width of two lots from 85 feet to 66 and 66.56 feet for the purpose of splitting the existing parcel (132.56 feet wide) into two parcels. The resulting parcels will have the required lot depth; 77.6% and 78.3 % of the required lot width; and 81 % and 240.8% and of the required lot area. Other parcels in the immediate vicinity of the site (notification area - 350 feet radius) range in width from 66 feet to 126 feet and have square footage from 14,322 to 33,642 square feet. 2.3 The existing home dates prior to 1959 and is considered a pre-existing condition and does not require a side yard variance. However, a variance is necessary to reduce the square footage requirement for Parcel" A" from 11,000 to 8,910 square feet. 2.4 Mr. Eggessa has proposed to remove the existing garage from Parcel "B" to allow construction of a single family home in the rear of the parcel. The existing home would remain. The site plan shows a house 178 feet from Cleveland Avenue and indicates a 50 foot rear yard setback and a 29 foot and a 35 foot side yard setback. The proposed home is oriented to provide an adequate front and rear yard as well as creating the same for the existing home. The building plans illustrate a two-story home including a two car attached garage, four bedrooms and three baths, with approximately 1,380 square feet of floor area on the main level. As proposed, the home would also have a full basement. 2.5 Section 1004. 02(D) of the City Code requires a minimum lot width of 85 feet and a minimum lot area of 11,000 square feet for lots in an R-l zoning district. '" Section 1013.02 outlines the procedure for considering a request for a variance. ~ Section 11 04.04(E) outlines the procedure for considering a request for a minor subdivision if three or fewer parcels are created. Section 1103.04 outlines the requirements for drainage easements and Section 1103.07 outlines the requirements for parkland dedication. 3.0 STAFF COMMENT 3.1 In reviewing this request, staff made the following findings: 1. Section 1004.02(D) requires a minimum lot width of 85 feet and a minimum lot area of 11,000 square feet for interior lots in an R-l zoning district. Based on the proposal, (Parcel" A" at a width of 66.0 feet and an area of 8,91 0 square feet and Parcel" B" at a width of 66.56 and an area of 26,484 square feet) two variances are necessary to proceed with the minor subdivision request. Variances could be reduced to one, lot frontage (85 feet) if modifications were made to the proposal. 2. There is a wide range of parcel size in this neighborhood, with lot areas ranging from 8,960 square feet to 43,750 square feet and lot widths ranging from 66 feet to 175 feet.
