. . Minules - Plan Commission, September 25, 1991 Page 2 Mr. Buz Rosenberg of Bellington Realty, 7777 Bonhomme, Suite 1224, Clayton, Missouri 63105 appeared as representative for applicant Ruth M. Elkins. Mr. Rosenberg explained that he is under contract as purchaser and developer of the two lots. Mr. Rosenberg presented a final plat of the proposed resubdivision showing the completed reference to utilitiy easements requested by the City Staff. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Hill and Mr. Goldman for staff comments. Mr. Hill stated that under Section 34-30.3(a) of the Zoning Code he made a determination that the lot width and area of the resubdivided lots will be consistent with the prevailing pattern of the subdivision in which the lots are located. Mr. Goldman explained that the lots will have a shared driveway between them with reciprocal easements; Lot 28 will have an 8' easement on lot 27, and lot 27 will have a 2' easement on lot 28. The driveway will provide access to off-street parking for both lot owners. Mr. Goldman stated that this resubdivision is unusual because lot 27 has an existing home that will remain. The existing home on lot 27 will have a sufficient side yard on the east side after resubdivision. The western side yard of the existing home is presently nonconforming but will not be changed by the resubdivision. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Rosenberg what his intentions for the lots were after resubdivision. Mr. Rosenberg stated that he planned to rehabilitate the existing house on lot 27 and improve the property for resale. He also plans to build a house on lot 28 and improve the property for resale. Mr. Safe pointed out that the easements on the land would be part of the deed and that the easements will work both ways. Mr. Goldman stated that the lot owners could jointly abolish the easements in the future. Mr. Safe moved that the Plan Commission recommend approval of the resubdivision. The motion was seconded by Ms. Ratner and passed by a vote of 6 - O. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The Council discussed errors in the minutes from the August 28, 1991 meeting: the references to Mr. Collins and Mr. Marsh should be interchanged; Ms. Ratner's abstention from discussion and voting in Public Hearing for Conditional Use #301 occurred at the beginning of the hearing; and the reference to a cleaners in the same "location" as the proposed use in Public Hearing for Conditional Use #301 should be changed to the same "vicinity" as the proposed use. Ms. Ratner moved for approval of the September 28, 1991 minutes as amended. The motion was seconded by Mr. Foxworth and passed by a vote of 6 - O.
