<br />• Similarly, other parcels within the City are found to have steep slopes, challenging <br />topography, hills, bluffs, and other land characteristics that require creativity to build and <br />often variances are necessary that meet our definition for exception within the zoning code. <br />• The physical, topographical, and slope aspects of the property are the main reason for the <br />variance request in that it produces an extreme hardship that is limited to the uniqueness of <br />the site, along with the floodplain located on the site. <br />• If this parcel was a normal, flat parcel, at 3.12 acres, and had regular driveway access to <br />Edgerton, the applicant would be able to fit up to 12 lots (at 4 un/acre). Because of the <br />slope of Edgerton, normal driveway access is not possible creating a need to build a public <br />road to access the site and create lots at the increased elevation. This limits the use of the <br />site from 12 lots down to 7 lots in addition to the floodplain area, utilized only for <br />stormwater, which further takes away acreage from development occurring. <br /> <br />City Review: <br /> <br />Final Plat areas of review (Section 1005.030 of the Subdivision Code) <br />• Name of subdivision <br />• Location and legal description of plat and survey <br />• Location of monuments <br />• Location of lots, streets with accurate dimensions, scale <br />• Statement of dedicated easement, utility and drainage facilities <br /> <br />Items reviewed by staff for Zoning Compliance <br />• Site Plan review and approval <br />• Zoning Requirements <br />o Parking <br />o Landscaping <br />o Tree Preservation <br />o Fences <br />o Buildable Area <br />o Setbacks <br />o Lot Area <br />o Lot Width <br />o Lot Depth <br />o Building Height <br />o Building Materials <br />o Impervious Surface <br />o Shoreland District requirements <br /> <br />Items reviewed by Building Official at the time of Building Permit Application <br />• Home design and layout <br />• Building Height <br />• Park Dedication (collected at time of building permit application) <br /> <br />Zoning Compliance <br />• The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential (Density range 2.5-4 units/acre).
