. . April 28, 1993 Plan Commission Meeting Mi1lUles Page 2 set back from Teasdale A venue. The lots across the street have a 45 foot building line and the lots to the west have a 55 foot set back. The 25 foot building line is inconsistent with the prevailing pattern. 2) The lot area for Lot B is 7,280 square feet. This is smaller than any of the development on the north side which range from 7800 square feet to 10,500 square feet. The developed lots on the south side of the block are more than 12,000 square feet in area. 3) The Union Electric service drop serving Lot A is shown crossing through the buildable area of Lot B. The ideal arrangement would be to provide a utility easement along the south side of Lot B. 4) A 21 inch diameter sewer is shown in Lot A running parallel to the west lot line. A utility easement should be provided for this sewer. 5) The preliminary plat does not show the location of the houses at 7848 and 7849 Greensfelder. He is concerned that a house on Lot B may have an awkward spacial relationship with these two existing houses. Mr. Kennedy presented the Commission with a petition showing that nine out the fourteen surrounding neighbors have approved the resubdivision. He stated that the others were not home. Mr. Goldman stated that these two lots are not formally part of the private subdivision of Teasdale Court. Mr. Marsh asked if any members of the public wished to make comments. Bob Wagoner, 7848 Greensfelder, stated that the spatial relationship of the Kennedy's current home and the proposed home to his home (directly behind the Kennedy's) concerns him. Tom Harig, 7814 Greensfelder, stated that he heard there may be an easement for access to the lot to come from Greensfelder not Teasdale. He opposed that. He further stated that a different house was built at 7906 Teasdale Court and it looked squeezed in. Mark Eckhardt, 7906 Teasdale Court stated that he owned the house just referred to and is adjacent to the proposed new lot. He is in favor of the resubdivision. Jeff Biskup, 7835 Greensfelder, stated that he owns the property directly behind the proposed new lot and stated he was approached concerning the access easement to Greensfelder. Mr. Carmody stated that any easements for access are not a part of this application before the Commission. Mrs. Kennedy stated that the 70' lot width is longer than most properties in the neighborhood. The larger square footage from the other properties comes from their depth. Mr. Marsh asked Mr. Goldman if the Commission has the power to increase the lot size requirements or lot widths over the minimums required in the Zoning Code. Mr. Goldman stated that in September of 1992, Ordinance 5880, requires that in the case of resubdivisions the lot size and lot width should be in substantial conformance with the lots on the block frontage. Ms. Peniston asked the applicant why the proposed house on the preliminary plat placed so close to the street. Mr. Kennedy stated that the house on the preliminary plat was just an example and that it could be placed anywhere within the building lines. Mr. Marsh asked if the applicants would consider splitting the lot in half. Mrs. Kennedy stated that she would not because they presently have a small back yard and need a large side yard to m-4-28.plc
