Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 January 27, 1988 REQUEST TO RESUBDIVIDE LOTS 44 AND 45 IN BLOCK 9 OF THE NORTH PARKVIEW SUBDIVISION Chairman McCauley called on Mary Fahey, Executive Director of the University City Redevelopment Authority, who proposed, on behalf of the Authority, to resubdivide Lots 44 and 45 in Block 9 of the North Parkview Subdivision. Ms. Fahey stated that the Redevelopment Authority had recently purchased the property at 6401 Cates, a vacant and derelict building in the University City Loop Neighborhood. The resubdivision would increase Lot 45 (6401 Cates) by an additional 1l feet for the purpose of constructing a driveway to access the rear of the property and provide off-street parking. The owner of Lot 44, the empty parcel to be reduced in size, had accepted a sale contract for the western 11 feet of that lot. Ms. Elwood stated that the resubdivision of these lots would not conflict with requirements of Section 34-24.2 of the Zoning Code since Lot 44 would remain vacant and in the same ownership as that of the single family lot to its east. The 11 feet to be added to Lot 45 would access crucial off-street parking for the multifamily building using an existing curb cut. Sixty feet of frontage would remain for the single family property to the east. After a brief resubdivision entitled "The Subdivision." discussion, Mr. Kendall moved that the Commission approve the of property at 6401 Cates Avenue in accordance with the plat Resubdivision of Lots 44 and 45, Block 9 of North Parkview Mr. Safe seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0.
