HomeMy WebLinkAbout617-BA DATE: March 3, 2011 TO: Board of Adjustment FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for a variance to the minimum lot depth from 100' to 90' FILE: 617-BA STAFF REPORT Don King, representing the Beaumont Housing Authority, has applied for a variance to the minimum lot depth from 100' to 90' for Lots 83-87, Regent II, Phase II. The property addresses are 1955-1995 Regent Street. In March, 2008, a preliminary plat was approved by the Planning Commission. That plat showed the subject lots with 100' depths. In July, 2008, construction plans were submitted. Because of utility company requirements and other needs to reconfigure street layouts, a revised preliminary plat was submitted in July, 2009. The Planning Commission approved the revised preliminary plat subject to several conditions, including the realignment of Misti Lane and Chrystal Lane to match and that a variance be granted for the lot depths of Lots 83-87. Construction of all streets, water, sewer and drainage have now been completed and were accepted by City Council. The installation of all public and private utilities have been installed based upon the revised plat. When the final plat was submitted for recordation, the applicant was notified that the variance had still not been granted. All of the lots exceed the minimum 5,000 sq. ft. lot area requirement. The distance between the south right-of-way line of Misti Lane and the north right-of-way line of Regent St. is 195 feet which does not allow for two 100 foot depth lots. The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions necessary for approval have been met. Exhibits are attached.
