Lots 2 -12, Block 2, to the south do not meet minimum lot size as drawn. The proposed lot size is only 9,975 square feet. Lot dimensions must be redrawn to provide the 10,000 square foot minimum lots. In addition, Lot 1 of Block 2 must be 11,000 square feet in area as a corner lot. Required building setbacks in an R -1 zone are as follows: Front Yard: 30 feet Side Yard: 10 feet interior lot 30 feet abutting a public right -of -way Rear Yard: 30 feet Streets, The subdivision is serviced by an extension of Jackson Street. Jackson Street is currently only improved up to the south boundary of the subject property. The extension of Jackson Street will make a 90 degree turn and run straight down the property ending in a cul -de -sac. The length of the cul -de -sac is approximately 980 feet. • The Subdivision Ordinance only allows cul -de -sacs up to 500 feet in length. As the plat is drawn, a variance will be required from the cul -de -sac length requirement. The variance request must satisfy the conditions governing consideration of variance requests: 1. That there are special and highly unique circumstances or conditions affecting said property which are not common to other properties in the City and that the strict application of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable and minimum use of his land. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which property is situated. 3. That the variance is to correct inequities resulting from an extreme hardship limited to topography, soils or other physical factors of the land. It has been noted that there exists a 60 foot wide R.O.W. along the railroad leading into the Boss subdivision and connecting with LaBore Avenue. If this is in fact a usable right -of -way, it could be advantageous to connect the proposed cul -de -sac with the Boss Addition. This would provide a connected street pattern and a more efficient traffic flow pattern. If this connection is not a workable solution, then a variance to the cul -de -sac length would be an acceptable solution because there are no connections to the north. 2 Page 29
