HomeMy WebLinkAboutReplat - Lots 1-3, B. Maricle Addition DATE: January 26, 2009 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for a replat of a portion of Lot 1, Block 9, Wescalder Fig Acres into Lots 1-3, B. Maricle Addition FILE: Replat - Lots 1-3, B. Maricle Addition STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the replat subject to the following condition: 1. Provide a 30' front building setback along Wescalder. (Planning) and the variance to the side yard building setback from 15' to 13'. Tom Rowe, representing Mark W. Whiteley & Assoc., has applied for a replat of a portion of Lot 1, Block 9, Wescalder Fig Acres into Lots 1-3, B. Maricle Addition. The property is located at 2590 Wescalder, 8870 Baker and 8880 Baker. Mr. Rowe states that there are existing structures on Lots 1 and 3. As part of this replat, he is requesting a variance to the side yard building setback on Lot 1. The normal building setback requirement for an exterior side yard is 15'. The existing residence on Lot 1 is approximately 35 years old and was constructed 13' from the side property line. This item was sent to all interested parties. No negative responses have been received. The Planning Manager recommends that the front building setback along Wescalder be shown at 30'. Wescalder is classified as a major collector. As such, a minimum 60' wide right-of-way is required. Wescalder currently has a 50' wide right-of-way. While the City has no plans to widen Wescalder at this time, providing a 30' front building setback would accommodate additional widening if it were to occur in the future. The existing house is located approximately 38' back from the front property line. Exhibits are attached. GENERAL INFORMATION/PUBLIC UTILITIES APPLICANT: Tom Rowe for Mark W. Whiteley & Assoc.
