r N PLANNING REPORT DATE: 7 September 1988 CASE NUMBER: 1886 APPLICANT: Richard D. Ward LOCATION: Northwest Corner County Road C and Matilda (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Division of Platted Lot PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: was tabled at the last request this application t the applicant's 1. Aq meeting of the Planning Commission. The proposal had been tabled from the September meeting since the applicant was not present. 2. Attached is a letter from Mr. Ward outlining his proposal which is to divide a parcel consisting of three lots platted with the original . plat into two parcels. Attached is a drawing indicating the location of these three lots which were combined in the past for tax purposes. Lots 14 and 15 will remain as the site for the existing home and, Lot 16 is proposed to be separated so as to provide a buildable lot for a new single-family residence. 3. The corner lot (proposed to be divided) is 75.1 feet in width with a depth of 133.29 feet, which equals 10,010 square feet. The lot width is consistent with the existing lots to the east and the west, each of which is occupied by a single-family home. 4. Ideally the corner lot should be 100 square feet in width with a lot area of 12,500 square feet. The minimum lot area for an interior lot. is 11,000 square feet with 85 feet of frontage. 5. However, City policy has been to approve the development of lots that are less than the required minimum if they are generally in scale with the existing lots in the area. Obviously, the lot here is similar to those in the immediate area which were platted as a part of this original plat called Bertlee Home Sites. 6. We do not have a drawing showing the exact location of the home that occupies the two lots to the north which are a part of this parcel under consideration. However, if it would be possible to make the lot slightly larger, this would appear to be helpful. Thus, the Commission may wish to review this possibility with the applicant. Though this neighborhood is in a 5 foot setback area (being platted before 1959), the required setback for a new house to be built on the proposed lot would be 10 feet from the side lot line and 30 feet from the public right-of-way.
