• PLANNING RKPORT DATE: 6 March 1985 CASE NUMBER: 1579-85 APPLICANT: Norman Doerr LOCATION: Southeasterly of Gluek Lane North ACTION REQUESTED: Division of a Lot PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. A number of years ago, two of the existing larger lots in the Gluek Lane development were proposed for subdivision by the then owners and developers of the Gluek Lane development, platted as Midway Acres. Attached is a copy of a portion of the section map indicating the original plat. On that section map we have indicated the proposed division of Lot 7, Block 2. Also indicated on that map is a second proposed division to be considered at the 6 March meeting of the Planning Commission by a second applicant, Mr. Robert Farinacci. 2. The previous application for subdivision was disapproved by the City on the grounds that the division was not compatible with the scale of the remaining lots in the subdivision. Other landowners in the area at the time objected strenuously to the proposed division. At this time most of the remaining lots have been developed so that the general character of "open space" has changed considerably in recent years. 3. Obviously, Lot 7 of Block 2, the subject of this application is the largest lot in the original plat. The applicant proposes to take this lot consisting of approximately 2.16 acres and divide it into two lots with the westerly lot consisting of an area of 45,304 square feet and the easterly most lot having an area of 48,883 square feet. Each of these lots, of course, is substantially larger than the minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet on corner lots and 11,000 square feet on interior lots as established by the City's Zoning Code. 4. Attached is a copy of the proposed subdivision which also indicates the location of the existing house on the westerly portion of the lot as now platted. 5. As in the case of the previously proposed subdivision, the principal question is one of the reasonableness of the lot division proposed in view of the scale of the lots in the immediate area and the subdivision as a whole. For this purpose, we have calculated by planimeter measurement the approximate area of each of the lots in the original subdivision. These lot area calculattions should assist the Planning Commission and Council in evaluating the appropriateness of the proposed division.
