The w~st 1/2 of lat B, which fronts Groveland has been requested rezoned from B-4 to 0-1. Planning consideratlons include tha*. the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map denotes the area as low density residential, 571ver Lake Road is classified as a minor arterial and the proposed R-2 zoning uce a7ong S11ver Lake Road may better suit the trafflc taden frontage. The rezoning ~f the Groveland frontage woutd be in accordance with the surrouding useage. The proposed R-1 single famYly lot frunting Groveland meets size requlrements for both frontage and square feet ~ut the proposed R-2 duplex lots a11 have substandard frontages of 88', with 100' required, but meet the area requirement of 12,500 square feet, each befng 18,256 square fePt. The rear lot line does coincide with earlier subdivisions. Servic?s are available for the single family lot fronting Grovetand but no servfces are availabTe Ynr Lhe duplex R-2 lots fronting Silver Lake Road. Ilowever, if the rezoning and the subdivision is approved, services must be peLitioned for and be in place before development can occur along Silver Lake Raad.
