FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for a replat of Lot 1, Block 4, Driving Park Addition
FILE: Replat - Lot 1, Block 4, Driving Park Addition
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this replat and of the
variance requests to the minimum lot area and minimum lot depth
requirements.
Raymond Gregory IV, the property owner, is requesting the replat of
Lot 1, Block 4, Driving Park Addition. Lot 1 will be subdivided into
Lots 1A and 1B. The property=s address is 4316 Ogden and
943-949 Essex.
The property is currently developed with a three unit one story house
and a four unit two story apartment building. These two structures
have been used as multiple family since 1988.
Mr. Gregory states that to finance or refinance these properties in
their current configuration, most lenders would determine the
property constitutes a A commercial-type @ dwelling (because of the
total unit count being greater than four) which requires a commercial
appraisal and commercial insurance. By dividing the property into
two separate lots, he would be able to retain the residential nature of
the property and be able to get the more affordable residential
appraisal and insurance for the structures.
The subject property is zoned RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling)
District. The minimum lot dimensions are 50' x 100' and 5,000 sq.
ft. in area. Lot 1, Block 1, Driving Park Addition is 50' x 150'.
The replat would make two 50' x 75' lots.
This replat was sent to all interested parties. At the time of the
writing of this report, no negative responses have been received.
Exhibits are attached.
