-2- 1' Motion by, Commissioner Madden and seconded by Commissioner Wagner to recommend 2 the Council approve the subdivision without platting of the parcel owned by Arvid 3 and Eleanor Johnson described as Lot 4, Block 5, Moundsview Acres 2nd Addition, 4 except the North 34.5 feet thereof lying east of the west 163.07 feet thereof 5 (4008 Fordham Drive N .E. ) into two parcels, 60 feet by 133.05 feet and 74 feet 6 by 133.05 feet, which would result in the newly created Lot "A" being 7,988- 7 square feet where 9,000 square feet is required by ordinance, on the condition 8 that the new structure is constructed no closer than 10 feet from the north 9 property line which would provide at least 14 feet between the two structures on 10 Lots "A" and "B", and further granting width variances for both lots which will 11 be 74 feet and 60 feet wide, where 75 feet is required. 12 13 In recommending the lot split and necessary lot size and width variances, the 14 Commission finds that: 15 16 1 . No calls either for or against the proposal had been received by staff prior 17 to the hearing; and 18 19 2• Lots less than 60 feet wide already exist in the Village and in that parti- 20 cular neighborhood construct ion of at least eight lots with smaller widths 21 had been allowed by the City which the Commission perceives would bring 22 the proposed lot well within the mainstream of City lots. 23 24 Motion carried -unanimously. 25 26 At 7:45 P.M. , the Chair opened the public hearing to consider a request from • 27 Robert and Beverly Stafford, 3916 Penrod Lane N.E. , for subdivision without 28 platting for property located at the intersection of Old Highway 8 and Rankin 29 Road (2911 Rankin Road N.E. ) to divide the existing property into two single 30 family residential lots. No one present reported failure to receive the notice 31 of the hearing which had been mailed to all _,propertynowner_s of record within 32 350 feet of the subject property and published in the April 1st Bulletin or 33 objected to the notice content. 34 35 The Manager reported receiving several calls about the project but said they were 36 for the most part from neighbors asking whether duplexes would be built in that 37 location. Mw. Childs said he had informed the callers that the zoning was only -38 for R-1 , Sing16 Family Residential . I 39 40 The Manager told the Commissioners that what they were actually being requested 41 to do was to "unsplit" two lots which at one time had- been joined together as one 42 parcel when the home, which has now been torn down, was first built. The 43 Manager indicated both of the proposed lots would meet the City ordinance require- 44 ments in terms of area, lot width, setbacks, etc. , and, in spite of the odd 45 triangular shape on the southernmost parcel (Lot 20) , no variances would be 46 needed to construct a house on that lot. 47 48 Mr. Stafford addressed his proposal to construct two single family homes on the t 49 property once it is subdivided by saying both lots would meet the City's 50 requirement for 75 foot lots . He said he and his wife would probably live in 51 the house "on the point" and their nephew, who was present with his family, would • -52 be living -in the new home on Lot 19. . Both houses would face Rankin Road and i -53 each would have its own driveway, the applicant said. 54 55 A sketch of the house plan, which .the Manager had indicatedmight or might not 56 be constructed on the property, had been included in the Commission agenda
