DESCRIPTION & .CONDITIONS: A recent amendment to the subdivision ordinance requires that requests to split lots in platted subdivisions be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the Board of County. Commissioners, at public hearings. Mr. & Mrs. Henry Brumley have made such a request to split their lot in Palm Gardens Subdivision into two dwelling sites. At their regular meeting of December 11, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request. The Palm Gardens subdivision, located on the north side of 41st Street between 43rd Avenue and King's Highway, is zoned RMH-8 (Residential Mobile Home up to 8 units/acre) and has an MXD (Mixed Use District) land use designation. The subdivision, platted in 1955, consists of 29 one acre lots and 2 half acre lots (pre- viously split). A majority of the lots have been developed with mobile homes. The roads are unpaved and are graded by the County. ANALYSIS: Several criteria have been established, via the recent subdivision ordinance amendment, --to evaluate lot split requests (see attach- ment #4). The request cannot be granted if the split would have a substantial negative impact on the neighborhood, roads and drain- age or if such splits are prohibited by recorded restrictions. Lots resulting from an approved request must meet zoning require- ments and be buildable under current regulations. Staff's analysis of the request is as follows: i) Based on positive.responses from subdivision property owners, there appears to -.-be no negative neighborhood impacts antici- pated by neighbors. - Because the lots in Palm Gardens are large (one acre), splits resulting in one-half acre lots would not result .in. a high density neighborhood. One lot in the subdivision was split into halves years ago and had no apparent adverse effect. 2) The proposal is to split the existing one acre lot into two one-half acre lots. The resulting lots would meet all RMH-8 lot size requirements. 3) In accordance with Environmental Health well and septic tank requirements, both resulting lots would be buildable. The one time lot split, if approved, would conform to all appli- cable subdivision requirements. 4) There are no reported grading or drainage problems in the area, according to Public Works. If all lots were to be halved, the density and traffic generation would not exceed the County's threshold for required street paving. 5) There are no recorded private restrictions prohibiting the lot split. The result of granting the Brumley request would be to allow another mobile home on the north side of the Brumleys' lot. The• Brumleys existing mobile home is located on the south side of their lot. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant the requested lot split. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. 3 5 J 1987 BOOK
