. . April 22, 1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 the proposed resubdivision. She explained that the resubdivision will divide the single 45,990 square foot lot, 210 feet at the building line, into two lots. The proposed east lot will be 28,059 square feet with a lot frontage of 110 feet at the building line; the proposed west lot will be 17,931 square feet with a lot frontage of 100 feet at the building line. Mr. Comfort will live in the existing structure on the east lot and will construct a home for future resale on the west lot. The property is located in the "SR" - Single Family Residential district. Section 34-30 of the University City Zoning Code requires that lots in the "SR" district shall have a minimum lot area 7200 square feet and a minimum lot width of 60' at the building line. Ms. Whittington pointed out that Lot W will be larger than the lot located at 7308 Westmoreland and approximately the same size as the lots at 7291 and 7300 Westmoreland. Lot W retains the 100' frontage at the building line which far exceeds the 6O'10t width required by the Zoning Code. Further, all requirements under Chapter 29 of the Municipal Code have been met. Ms. Whittington stated that a proposed home would not violate the 30' rear yard requirement. The prevailing height and mass standards can be adequately addressed. However, all of those concerns are not the proper standard of review in a resubdivision application; they should be addressed when a building permit is reviewed. The only issue before the Plan Commission is whether or not the proposal meets the requirements set forth in the Zoning Code for a resubdivision. Ms. Whittington stated that all requirements have been met. Chairperson Kreishman asked Mr. Goldman to report on the staff review. Mr. Goldman stated that Randall L. Comfort, owner of the property located at 7346 Westmoreland, has filed a third application for a resubdivision of the parcel comprised of the east 50' of lot 11, all of lots 12 and 13 and the west 40' of lot 14 in block 9 of Maryland Terrace amended subdivision No.2. The proposal will divide the 45,990 square foot parcel into two irregular shaped parcels. Lot E is shown 110 feet wide at the building line and will contain the existing house, garage and swimming pool. Lot W will be 100 feet wide at the building line, maintaining this width for the front 109.26 feet with an off-set that reduces the width to 50 feet at the rear property line. The irregular shapes are due to the existing location of the pool and changing houses on the east lot. Mr. Comfort occupies the house located on the proposed east lot; he plans to construct a home on the west lot for future re-sale. Section 34-24.2 requires that the lots conform with all the bulk regulations of the "SR" - Single Family Residential District in which they are located. The proposed lots will exceed the lot area and width standards of Section 34-30.3, which requires each lot to have a minimum area of 7200 square feet and a minimum width of not less than 60 feet at the building line. The east parcel will have an area of 28,059 square feet and a width of 110 feet at the building line; the west parcel will have an area of 17,931 square feet and a width of 100 feet at the building line. The lot widths conform to the prevailing pattern of the parcels under single ownership which includes several 100 foot wide lots. The area of Lot W is smaller than any of the existing parcels under single ownership and the angular boundary will make it difficult to provide a 30 foot rear yard for a large building on the site. m-4-22.plc
