PLANNING REPORT 0 DATE: 6 May 1987 CASE NUMBER: 1744 APPLICANT: Joel D. and Phyllis Dillner LOCATION: Northeasterly Quadrant of Acorn and County Road B (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Preliminary Plat PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: I. This parcel is one of a series of large lots that were developed approximately in the early 1950s. The parcel in question is 2.3 acres and is similar In —size -size to others in the area as illustrated in the attached copy of the 1" = 500 ' scale City base map. 2. The applicants, in this case the Dillners, have lived in this house for many years and now propose to build a new house on a portion of the land. They have reviewed a variety of concepts with the staff over a period of time and it is currently suggested that if the land is to be divided, the method that they propose is the most appropriate way. 3. You will note from the attached copy of their land division proposal that a portion of the easterly lot (indicated as Lot A) would be brought out to Acorn Road and would include the existing driveway. Lot A would consist of 69,700 square feet or 1.6 acres. Lot 8 consisting of 31,100 square feet or .7 acres would be on a knoll of land overlooking the ponding area to the north. The Dillners propose to build a new house for themselves on Lot B. 4. There is, of course, considerable land area to the southeast of the house on Lot A. This land, however, is low and would not be a buildable site. That is why the most appropriate building area, if a second house is to be built, is on the land south of the pond. 5. As land values escalate in the City and single-family lots are in greater demand, we anticipate seeing more and more divisions of larger lots in the City. You will recall the division of several lots on Glueck Lane within the last few years, and it is likely that further divisions may well be seen in that area as well. B. The lot areas involved in this case far exceed the land area requirement. Though the driveway area extending to Acorn Road necks down to 35 feet, the lot width at the building line (in the interior of the lot) far exceeds the minimum 85 foot width.
