. . May 26,1993 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 Mr. Kennedy presented the Commission members with a copy of updated proposed preliminary and final plat surveys of the resubdivision. Mr. Kennedy stated that 7916 Teasdale is currently a 208.71' wide lot with a depth of 104'. The Kennedys wish to resubdivide the lot into two lots. The eastern lot will be 9,360 square feet in area and the western lot will be 12,345.84 square feet in area. The lots will have a 30' front building line, a 6' side yard and a 30' rear yard. Mr. Kennedy passed out several photographs to demonstrate his position that a house the same size as his home could be built on the new lot. Several other photographs were offered to demonstrate his position that precedent exists in the neighborhood for such a resubdivision. Mr. Kennedy claimed that his property is a member of the Teasdale Court subdivision and that he currently pays dues for maintenance of the road. Mr. Hill distributed copies of a letter received by him on May 25, 1993 from Nancy Wagoner of 7848 Greensfelder. Chairperson Marsh asked Mr. Goldman to report on the staff review. Mr. Goldman stated that he has reviewed the revised Preliminary Plat, dated March _, 1993 and the revised Final Plat, dated Apri1_, 1993 prepared by James Engineering and Surveying Co., and finds the following problems: 1) The side building lines extend into the easements on the east side of Lot Band the west side of Lot A. The side building lines should be moved to coincide with the easements. 2) The preliminary plat does not show the location of the houses at 7848 and 7849 Greensfelder. He is concerned that a house built on Lot B under the proposed subdividing will have an awkward spacial relationship with one or both of these houses. 3) Vehicular access to Lot B must be limited to direct access from Teasdale A venue. 4) Teasdale Avenue is a privately maintained street. The lot in question is not platted nor recorded as a part of the Teasdale Court subdivision. The proposed subdividing should not be approved unless the provisions for street maintenance are clearly spelled out in the subdivision documents. 5) The building line is shown with a 30 foot 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 30 foot building line is inconsistent with the prevailing pattern of existing development on the block frontage and should not be approved. Mr. Goldman pointed out that Ordinance No. 5880, approved by City Council on September 14,1992, states that "... in the case of resubdivision [building lines] shall be in substantial conformance with the prevailing pattern of existing development on the block frontage. II Mr. Marsh asked if any members of the public wished to make comments. Mark Eckhardt, 7906 Teasdale Court, stated his opinion that the subject lot is part of the Teasdale Court subdivision and that the subdivision trustees have the final say over where the front building line is to be located. Mr. Eckhardt read a letter he wrote and submitted a copy of said letter for the record. Mr. Frank Richards, 7925 Teasdale, stated he was at the meeting strictly for informational purposes. As a member of the Teasdale Court subdivision, he is concerned with the legal ramifications that the lot in question is not a part of the Teasdale Court subdivision. He is mostly concerned with type of home to built on the lot. Mr. Marsh clarified that this meeting strictly concerns resubdivision of the lot, not the type of house to be built. m-5-26.plc
