The <br />property was previously occupied by a single family home which has since been <br />removed. The parcel is steeply sloped from Labore to the south. The original home <br />had a driveway which swept around the building to the south side of the property. With <br />the subdivision, the two resulting parcels will become walk -out lots with driveways <br />directly to Labore Road. <br />For single family lots which were lots of record and are being subdivided into two <br />parcels without requiring a plat, the lot requirements are as follows: <br />As evident from the table, the lots each meet the requirement for single family lots in the <br />R-1 zoning district. It should be noted that lots that require platting (when 3 or more lots <br />are being created), require 11,000 square feet of area, and 85 feet of width. This <br />requirement was adopted by the City a few years ago in order to protect existing <br />neighborhoods from over -development, but with the recognition that lots platted many <br />6 <br />Zoning <br />Requirement <br />Proposed <br />Parcel A <br />Proposed <br />Parcel B <br />Lot Width <br />75 feet <br />78.6 feet <br />78.12 feet <br />Lot Area <br />10,000 sq. ft. <br />10,505 s.f. <br />12,275 s.f. <br />Front Setback <br />30 feet <br />30 feet <br />30 feet <br />Side Setback <br />7.5 feet <br />10 feet <br />10 feet <br />Rear Setback <br />30 feet <br />55 feet+ <br />80 feet± <br />As evident from the table, the lots each meet the requirement for single family lots in the <br />R-1 zoning district.
