DPZA ETAILEDROPOSAL AND ONINGNALYSIS 1 Zawadski Homes is completing the home at 365 South Owasso Boulevard for Ms. Adele 2 Kaufman, and during the construction of that home the property at 375 South Owasso Boulevard 3 came on the market. Zawadski Homes and Ms. Kaufman met with the City Planner to discuss 4 ideas regarding increasing the size of the parcel at 365 South Owasso Boulevard and minor 5 subdivision options for the property. The existing property, addressed as 375 South Owasso 6 Boulevard, includes Lots 10, 9, and the west 30 feet (more or less) of Lot 8, Block 3, Lake 7 Owasso Villas, originally platted in 1918. Lots 9 and 10 are considered platted lots of record 8 because they have not been altered and thus can be developed separately. The remainder of Lot 9 8 would need to be combined with an adjacent parcel as it has previously been altered. 10 In May 1959, Lots 8, 9 and 10 became legal non-conforming lots when the Zoning Ordinance 11 created minimum lot standards of 85 feet of width, 110 feet of depth, and 11,000 square feet of 12 size. In 1974 the City adopted shoreland, wetland, and storm water management requirements 13 which created additional legal non-conformities on these lots with a required 100-foot minimum 14 width and an overall lot size of 12,500 sq. ft. 15 Ms. Kaufman, after considering her options, has decided to seek a larger parcel, which will also 16 preserve the existing boathouse located on Lot 9 by completing a lot line adjustment whereby 17 Lot 10 increases in width and size and the remainder of the property is incorporated into her 18 existing parcel at 365 West Owasso. 19 City Code §11.03.06.H (Lot Standards) states: Lots abutting upon a water course, drainage way, 20 channel or stream shall have an additional depth or width as required to assure house sites that 21 meet shoreland ordinance requirements and that are not subject to flooding, while §1017.14 22 (Shoreland Lot Standards) requires parcels adjacent to lakes to be at least 100 feet wide and 23 15,000 square feet in area. Since the proposal is not seeking to divide the existing 2+ lots into a 24 conforming parcel or lot, Ms. Kaufman is required to seek a variance for the proposed 25 substandard lot. 26 The narrative explains the following regarding the proposal to subdivide the existing lots: The 27 owner, upon finding that the adjacent property was up for sale, purchased it with the idea of 28 better positioning the two lots. The owner was concerned that a different purchaser may 29 purchase 375 \[Owasso\] then simply subdivide into two lots. The current intent is to lower the 30 street density rather than increase it. There is also the desire to have greater separation from a 31 new residential home and to add land area to the existing lot, thus increasing the coverage 32 allowance to support a standard driveway. As stated previously, Ms. Kaufman would also like to 33 keep/salvage the existing boathouse that lies on existing Lot 9, which structure under the Zoning 34 Code requires a minimum 5 foot property line setback; the applicant is proposing the new lot line 35 8 feet southwest of the boathouse to create a new parcel 75.33 feet in width, 210+ feet in depth, 36 and 16,983 sq. ft. in size. The residual land area is to be combined with the 365 South Owasso 37 parcel. The minor subdivision proposal can be found on Attachment C. 38 VA ARIANCENALYSIS 39 RV: Section 1009.04C of the City Code establishes 40 EVIEW OF ARIANCE APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS a mandate that the Variance Board make five specific findings about a variance request as a 41 prerequisite for approving the variance. Planning Division staff has reviewed the application and 42 offers the following draft findings. 43 PF15-021_RVBA_110415 Page 2 of 4
