PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIOP— • 1 August 1984 1527-84 Lyle Carpenter (C. R. Hakworthy) Northeasterly of Shady Beach Avenue, North of Center Street Rezoning from R-1 to R-2 Division of a Lot Variance to Side Yard Setback 1. This property consists of two lots backing up to a B-3 business zone fronting on Rice Street. The land is zoned R-1, and is indicated for low density residential development on the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The applicant who has owned the property for many years has discussed with the staff the possibility of constructing an office building on the site. We suggested that a duplex development would be more appropriate, avoiding the adverse impact of commercial development fronting on Shady Beach Avenue, which has single family development immediately to the northwest, and part of the McCarron s county beach property across the street (to the southwest, contiguous to McCarron's Lake). 3. We have met with the applicant and his designers several times reviewing a concept for the development of the land. The land as the attached site flans, is high, overlookingt You will note from obvious that by having a single driveway going up the hill to the ake. It appears center of the site, that the desirable aspects of the site for residential purposes can better be retained. Thus, the proposal is to divide the property into three lots (from the existing two lots) and construct a duplex on each lot. The width of the lots, measured at the building line varies from 50 feet to 73 feet. Because of the constraints of the lot width, it is proposed that a 'zero lot line' concept be utilized on two of the lots, thus requiring a variance to the side yard setback on the common lot l,ne dividing the northerly -most two lots. This approach would appear to provide the best spatial relationship between the buildings, the common driveway, and the site as a whole. 4. Attached are copies of the site plan, elevations of the proposed structures, and a statement from the applicant indicating his intent. 5. Also attached is a copy of a statement from the engineering department relating to this development. We suggest any positive action on this proposal include those items as conditions.
