ANALYSIS Simple Subdivision: Because this application involves the division of one parcel into two, the Subdivision Ordinance specifies that the subdivides may be relieved in "complying with any requirements of this Ordinance that are deemed inappropriate ". This request appears to meet the definition of a simple subdivision. Lot Area and Requirements: The R -1 District requires corner lots to have a minimum lot area of 11,000 square feet. The proposed lot split will leave the corner lot with a lot size of approximately 28,000 square feet of area. All setbacks are met except for the side yard setback for the garage. This is a legally non - conforming situation that is not affected by the proposed division, however, because it is an existing structure. The vacant parcel will have a lot area of approximately 2.5 acres or 109,000 square feet, which exceeds the required lot size of 10,000 square feet. Grading and Drainage: A site inspection conducted at this site revealed a substantial change in grade elevation from west to east. It appears the grade falls approximately three feet and that some filling will have to take place to make the eastern lot a buildable one. A grading and drainage plan should be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval. Easements: At least a six (6) foot drainage and utility easement must be provided along all lot lines of both proposed parcels. Park Contribution: Because this division will create an additional parcel, the Little Canada Parks Commission should review the proposal and determine if a contribution to the park fund is necessary. Future Subdivision: Due to the size of the vacant parcel (109,000 square feet) created by this proposed subdivision, it is possible that this parcel could be subdivided to create more lots in the future. The Planning Commission may want to require Mr. Salak to provide a concept sketch illustrating the intended use of this east parcel. Page 28
