Land to the north of 62nd Street is included in the MUSA and can be served with public sewer and water. Land to the south will not be served with public utilities at this time. In the Comprehensive Plan, the parcel is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential. Land to the east is already subdivided into low density unsewered residential; land to the south is guided as low density unsewered residential, and land to the west and north is guided as low density sewered residential. The proposed land use change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning of the parcel is split between Rural and Single Family Executive. The parcel is adjacent to R -1 X on the north and is guided for sewered residential use. Changing zoning of the entire parcel is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Lot Area Requirements The proposed zoning of R -1X requires that each lot have no less than 12,825 square feet of buildable land. Proposed Lot 1 will have 16,832 square feet of buildable and, while Lot 2 will have 15,241 square feet of buildable land. Both lots as proposed will meet the minimum lot size requirements of the R -1X Single Family Residential District. Setback Requirements The R -1X District has a minimum side -yard setback of 10 feet, rear yard setback of 30 feet, and front yard setback of 30 feet. Both lots as proposed can meet setback requirements of this District. Driveway Location and Access The plat map provided does not indicate the proposed locations of the driveways for Lots 1 and 2. The driveway for the existing house on Lot 1 enters 62nd Street. Given the topography of Lot 2, the driveway for this lot should enter 62nd Street as well.
