Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 21, 1998 Page 2 1 investigate the request further. She reported this is an existing lot with a house located on it. 2 The lot currently is 66 feet in width which is too small to split under current City ordinance and 3 is unbuildable as it exists. Ms..Mobre-Sykes stated she was not clear as to the intent of the 4 request and would need to contact the applicant. 5 There was Commission consensus to table the request to allow Staff to obtain further information 6 in regard to the intent of the applicant. 7 B. Subdivision/Replat of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition- Wirth Companies,Apache 8 Medical Building. 9 Mr. Tom Hanka, The Wirth Companies, explained that the Stinson Boulevard Corporation 10 currently owns all of Lot 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition. Wirth Companies recently acquired Lot 2, 11 Block 1, Apache Plaza, which is currently vacant. It is not possible to develop this property as it 12 exists because of the size and the restrictions of the City ordinance. The proposal would split Lot 13 1, Block 1, Beutz Addition, and divide the property between the Apache Medical Building 14 property and Lot 2, Block 1, Apache Plaza. Apache Medical Center would retain area for 232 15 parking spaces, with 200 spaces required by City ordinance. This would allow Lot 2, Block 1, 16 Apache Plaza to be developed. 17 Chair Bergstrom asked if there.were any easements.on the lot and questioned the,minimum lot 18 size in a commercial district. 19 Mr. Hanka stated there is an access easement across Lot 1, Block 1, so that Apache Plaza 20 Medical Building will always have access rights. The size of Lot 1, Block 1 is 55 feet by 198 21 feet. 22 Commissioner Horst asked if the subdivision was necessary. He noted there was adequate 23 parking on the Apache Medical Building site without the additional parcel and asked if it 24 wouldn't be simpler to deed the entire parcel of Lot 1, Block 1 to Lot 2, Block 1. 25 Mr. Hanka explained that currently, including the area of Lot 1, Block 1, Apache Medical 26 Building has 325 parking spaces. With the lot split Apache Medical Building will have 232 27 parking spaces and the other property will have 90 spaces. The Apache Medical Building is 28 designed for doctor and dentist tenants and the City ordinance has restrictions for the minimum 29 parking spaces. If more of these tenants locate in the building, the additional parking spaces may 30 be necessary. 31 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted that the current ordinance requires a minimum commercial lot area of 32 15,000 square feet and a width of 100 feet. The proposed subdivision/plat approval would result 33 in two lots which did not meet the requirements. She stated the lot could be split and it will then 34 be necessary for the resulting parcels to be combined with the existing lots to meet City code 35 requirements.
