The site is 1.22 acres in size and is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The site is bordered by Bryan Street to the south, single family residential uses to the north and east, and the Boss Road right-of-way to the west. ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing to split an existing single family lot to create a second buildable lot on the north side. All existing structures would remain on the south portion, identified as Parcel A, including a single family home, accessory shed, and hockey rink. A new single family home is proposed for the created parcel, Parcel B. Access to Parcel B will be provided by constructing a portion of the Boss Road right-of-way. Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The purpose of the "R-1", Single Family Residential District is to provide for low density single family detached residential dwelling units and directly related, complementary uses. The existing single family and accessory structures on Parcel A, and the home proposed for Parcel B, are permitted uses in the district. Lot Requirements and Setbacks. The following chart illustrates the applicable lot requirements and setback requirements for the R-1 District, as well as what is proposed for both parcels. The construction of Boss Road would make Parcel A a corner lot, and therefore subject to all additional corner lot requirements.
