i `'�iO� V+'i DATE: TO: FROM: RE: 2 De�:ember 1991 Steve Sarkozy Phil Carlson PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, November 20 & 27, 1991 November 20: 1• Frank Lentsch (487-3275) Mr. Lentsch is a realtor inquiring on behalf of a potential purchaser of a lot on County Road B west of Dale Street. The lot in question is a deep flag lot that was created when a standard- size lot was platted out of a large, deep rectangular lot fronting on County Road B some time ago. There are several other similar deep lots on B in this vicinity. Mr. Lentsch can build a house on the lot, since it is 50' wide at the narrowesL, more than the minimum 35' for flag lots. We suggested a cooperative effort involving neighboring lot owners that could yield several more buildable lots off of a cul-de-sac. This is an area that theoretically could be developec� like the neighborhood to the west where Burke Avenue provides access to the back part of the deep lots there as well. Because of ownership patterns, a ponding area to the west of this lot, and the fact that there are already homes built on almost all of the adjacent lots, such a development is unlikely. 2. Jay Reilling Mr. Reilling was inquiring about a tax-forfeit lot the County is selling in Montgomery's Lake View Addition. The lot in question is in the northeast quadrant of Dale Street and Carlisle Avenue. Carlisle is dedicated but not built. We determined that the lot was half of a lot split that was recorded with the County in 1968 but not approved by the City. There is no sewer or water immediately available to the lot, and it ic about 10,200 square feet in area, less than the 12,500 square-foot minimum for corner lots. The lot could be used as garden plot, but a house could not be built on it until more of the property owners in the area petition for streets and utilities.
