Block 1 contains 22 lots, all with the same dimensions of 83.6 feet wide and 122.5 feet long. Lot area is 10,241 square feet. Block 2 contains 26 lots all with the same dimensions of 84.6 feet wide and 125.79 feet long. Lot area is 10,641 square feet. All lots meet minimum requirements for lot area and width. The plat shows existing structures on Lots 4, 5, 9, and 10 of Block 1 and Lots 10 and 11 of Block 2.,.The houses on Lots 4, 5, 9, and 10 will remain while the pole building and garage on Lots 10 and 11 will be removed. Lot lines as drawn for Lots 4, 5, 9, and 10 are drawn right through the existing buildings. These lot lines must be eliminated so Lots 4, 5, 9, and 10 are combined to meet subdivision requirements; Reconfiguration of lot lines around existing houses must meet all current setback requirements. Access. Access to Costa Estates will be provided by Vanderbie Street (existing) to the east, DeSoto Street to the west (partially existing), and a proposed Noel Drive which runs parallel to Vanderbie and DeSoto. The proposed subdivision does not have access to the north or south because it is contained within an existing block. There is no through right -of -way to Allen Avenue to the north or LaBore Avenue to the south. To the south of LaBore Avenue, there is an existing section of Noel Drive which is in approximate alignment with the proposed section of Noel Drive. The proposed Noel Drive may some time in the future become a through street and connect with existing Noel Drive, but this would require gaining a right -of -way over the additional lots south of Costa Estates which are not owned by the applicant and therefore, has little control over this possibility. As the plat is drawn, Noel Drive dead ends at each end of the property with no guarantees that it can connect with Alien Avenue or LaBore Avenue. Therefore, our office has come up with an alternative design showing two connector streets to improve circulation (see Exhibit C). This design creates two access streets to allow access to DeSoto and Vanderbie from Noel Drive and thus eliminating the need for Noel Drive to become a through street at this time. If the required right -of -way cannot be acquired to make Noel Drive a through street, then cul -de -sacs will be required at each end to achieve proper turn around access. These may be shown as temporary easements which can be released upon completion of Noel Drive to LaBore and /or Allen Avenue. 2 Page 37
