Faust Engineering is requesting an extension of the preliminary plat and the waiver/variance that was approved for said subdivision in 2023. Below is the original correspondence and summary of the subdivision particulars - A t to ch ed for consideration is a Prelim in ary Plat for Emerald Point, a proposed 2 0 lot subdivision on Griffing Road. Emerald Point is a subdivision containing 4.87 acres of lard including a 0.85 acre tract to be designated for a detention pond. Road, water, and sanitary sewer service will be provided with the extension of the city services on Griffing Road. Storm service will be routed to a detention pond orid then metered out to a roadside ditch on Griffing Rood, The detention pond and tie-in will be designed for net -zero impact. A s a part of our preliminary plat, we are requesting the Planning Co m mission waive arse item with the app ro vol of this prelim in ory platy 1. We are requesting the Planning Commission waive the requirementfor o mean lot depth of 100 feet on L o t 10 and L o t 11. In order to work with the spirit of the ordinance, we have widened Lot 10 and Lot 11 to allow a building area equivalent or greoter than the minimal urea required by the subdivision ordinance and the typical lots in this proposed subdivision. In surnmary, regarding the right of woy variance request: The gronting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, welfare, or injurious to other properties. The variance will only affect Lot 10 and Lot 11, which will have a wider building area. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is hosed' are unique to the property for which the variance is sought and are not applicable generally to other property. Given the narrow shape of the parent tract and de ten tion requirements, our lot depth is limited but the lot areas exceed the minimal subdivision requirement. EP Preliiiiinary Becouse of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographicol conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished frog o mere inconvenience., if the strict terms of these regulations are enforced. Due to the narrow shape of the parent tract and detention requi 0 rements,, this project would not move forward without this variance. This would result in a large financial loss to the owner. The variance will not in any significant way vary the provisions of the zoning ordinance, zoning map, or comprehensive plan. It would only have minimal impact, as it is only pertaining to the ordinance regording mean lot depth. This would be offset by the increased lot width, which would provide a building area eq uivole n t or greater than typical lots featured in this proposed subdivision. Per your requirements., we have attached the following items: 1) 2 copies of the signed Preliminary Plot. 2) 1 copy of the Signed Subdivision Application. 3) 1 copy of the current deed. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, I can be reached by telephone at 409-813-3410. or the Firm, Richard F. Faust, P.E.
