The property is presently described as Lots 2 through 7, Block 4 and Lots 3, 4 and 5, Block 13, Dawson's Suburban Acres and contains an unimproved segment of 5th Avenue. The applicant wishes to plat the property into a single lot and outlot (which would correspond to an exiting wetland on the property). As part of the replatting of the property, the vacation of a segment of 5h Avenue has also been proposed. A primary purpose behind the applicant's desire to plat the site's wetland as an outlot is to ensure its long -term existence. No new building sites are therefore proposed as part of the subdivision. The subject property is zoned R -1, Single Family Residential. ISSUES ANALYSIS Lot Area. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the 6.8 acre property into a 1.5 acre lot and 5.3 acre outlot. Generally speaking, the outlot overlays the area of the site consumed by wetland while the upland area comprised proposed Lot 1. At 1.5 acres in size, Lot 1 exceeds the minimum area requirement of the R -1 zoning District.
