It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 27, 1997. Mr. & Mrs. Dodson have submitted a request to divide Lot F in the Hidden Acres Subdivision into two lots, one of which would be the smallest lot in the subdivision. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 913 governing the subdivision of land, the division of a platted lot that results in the creation of a lot having less square foot area than the smallest approved lot in the subdivision must be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. At its regular scheduled meeting of May 8, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners grant the subject request with the conditions stated in the recommendation section of this report. The Board of County Commissioners is now to consider the potential impact of the proposed lot split upon the subdivision (neighborhood) as outlined in section 913.06(1)(F) (see attachment #5). After considering the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Board may either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the subject request. The Board may attach to its recommendation any reasonable condition(s) which it feels necessary to mitigate possible negative impacts. AN 7 Y=: Hidden Acres was originally platted as 8 one acre lots. In the late 1980s, the Board of County Commissioners approved a proposal to allow each lot in the Hidden Acres Subdivision to be split one time into two lots of approximately equal size, resulting in i acre lots. That Board decision was based upon the appropriateness of allowing } acre lots throughout the subdivision. Subsequent to the Board determination, Lots A, B, C, and H were legally split into two lots each, thus establishing 11 buildable lots. Currently the smallest lot within the Hidden Acres Subdivision is 21,375 square feet. The proposed lot (F) split will result in the creation of a 30,000 square foot lot and a 15,000 square foot lot. The 30,000 square foot lot needs to be larger than half an acre (21,780 square feet) to accommodate sufficient setbacks for the existing house on Lot F. The remainder of Lot F will result in the 15,000 square foot lot, which will measure 100' X 1501. In order to minimize the impact of creating the smallest lot in the subdivision, the applicant has proposed the following minimum building setbacks: Proposed: Required for RS -6 Zoning: North: 25' North: 10' South: 10' South: 10' East: 40' East: 20' West: 30' West: 20' These proposed building setbacks will provide for increased separation distances between residences and would be consistent with existing building separation distances in the subdivision. The location of the proposed lot line dividing Lot F, in conjunction with the special setbacks listed above, would establish a building separation distance of 65' between the existing residence on the northern portion of Lot F and the future residence on the newly created lot (see attachment #4). Because of the proposed 10' building setback on the south property line, in conjunction with a platted 35' easement that exists on the adjacent lot (Lot G), building separation to the south of the subject lot is guaranteed to be at, least 451. Staff supports the proposed lot split with the special building setbacks proposed, provided that deed restrictions are established to ensure that the proposed building setbacks are binding and run with the land. 18 MAY 27,1997 � s r
