Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for two variances concerning minimum lot depth and lot width. Replat of Lot 3 and half of Lot 4, Block 7, Park Place Addition. FILE: Replat - Park Place Addition STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the depth variance for proposed Lot 3A and the width variance for proposed Lot 3B. The replat of Lot 3 and the east 25 feet of Lot 4, Block 7, Park Place Addition into Lots 3A and 3B necessitates two variances. The lots are zoned RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling) District. There is a large house in the front of the property broken up into four apartments. There is a garage apartment in the rear. The property is being sold to satisfy debt. Lot 3A contains 5,354.5 square feet which exceeds the 5,000 square foot minimum. This lot contains the four unit apartment structure. Lot 3B contains 5,791 square feet. This lot is the site of the garage apartment. The Zoning Ordinance requires lots in the RS District to have minimum widths of 50 feet and depths of 100 feet. Lot 3A has an average depth of 89.765 feet. Lot 3B has a 15 foot wide width at Palm Avenue which extends south 90.56 feet where it clears the south rear lot line of Lot 3A. At this point the lot width is 74.66 feet. Lot 3A needs a variance as to depth and Lot 3B needs a variance as to lot width. These may be granted by the Commission under the regulations of Section 24-30 of the Subdivision Ordinance. A portion of Section 24-30 is printed here for the Commission: Section 24-30. Variances, exceptions and appeals. (a) (1) Where the Planning Commission finds that extraordinary hardships or practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with these regulations or that public interest may be served by an alternative proposal, it may approve variances to these subdivision regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured provided that such variances shall not have the effect of nullifying the general intent and purpose of these regulations; and further provided that the Planning Commission shall not approve variances unless it shall make findings based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case that: (a) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other property. (b) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought and are not applicable. (c) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict terms of these regulations are enforced. (d) The variance will not in any significant way vary the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map, or Comprehensive Plan. Copies of the plat were sent to interested parties. No objections were received. Exhibits are attached. FA UST Engineering and Surveying, Inc.
