The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request and of
the variances to the minimum lot width for Lot 7A from the required
50' to 47.5' and to the minimum lot area for Lot 7A from the
required 5,000 sq. ft. to 4,750 sq. ft.
Mark W. Whiteley & Associates has applied for an amended plat of Lot
7 and Lot 8 and 10' of the abandoned alley, Block 59, North
Addition into Lots 7A and 7B. The properties are located at 2179
Forrest and 1245 Caldwell. Two houses and a garage are located on
the lots.
Henry LaRocca, the property owner, is selling the two houses
individually. Locating the adjoining property line at 2.6'-2.8' from
the garage makes Lot 7A 47.5' wide and 4,750 sq. ft. in area.
An amended plat is allowed to relocate one or more lot lines between
one or more adjacent lots provided that such amendment does not
attempt to remove recorded covenants or restrictions or increase the
number of lots.
Exhibits are attached.
