October 23, 1996 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 block frontage. The basic provisions of the Zoning Code call for a minimum lot width of 60 feet. The block frontage was platted with a 124.85 foot wide lot at the north corner, a 80 foot wide lot at the south corner and seven 100 foot wide lots in between. Three of the seven lots have been divided. The 80 foot corner lot contains two four-family apartment buildings that front on Pershing and thus should not be counted as part of the prevailing pattern of development on the Hanley block frontage. Thus the existing development on the block frontage now consists of eleven lots; six with widths of approximately 50 feet and five with widths of 100 feet or more. For your information, a similar resubdividing for Lot 5 was approved by the City Council on February 27, 1995. Mr. Goldman stated that the Historic Preservation Commission Chairperson expressed interest in reviewing the project since the lot abuts the Linden-Kingsbury Historic District. Therefore the City Manager will probably require that the Historic Preservation Commission review the project before the City Council does. Chairperson Solodar asked if any members of the public wished to comment. No members of the public indicated a desire to speak. Ms. Peniston asked if the neighbors had been informed of the matter. Mr. Hill replied that notice of the meeting had been mailed to all abutting property owners. Mr. Walsh moved that the Plan Commission approve the resubdivision of 425 N. Hanley, Lot 3 of Block B of the Bemiston Subdivision into two 50 foot wide lots. The motion was seconded by Mr. Foxworth and passed by a vote of 6 to 0, with all members voting "aye." Resubdivision: 6677 Delmar, Lots 2, 3 and Part of Lot 1 of Delmar Garden Chairperson Solodar announced that a hearing was scheduled concerning an application from Louis London, Inc., represented by Jerry Best, C.F.O., 6665 Delmar, Ste. 300, University City, MO 63130. The Chairperson noted the Commission's procedures and criteria for reviewing resubdivisions. The Chairperson called upon the applicant. Mr. Best gave an overview of the proposed resubdivision. Chairperson Solodar called on Planning Director Al Goldman to provide the staff report. Mr. Goldman stated that the Louis London Company plans to erect a three story building on the vacant lot west of their existing building at 6665 Delmar Boulevard. Their plans include a connecting link between the buildings at the second and third floor levels. Building code considerations make it necessary to establish a lot line between the two buildings. The offsets in the lot line are needed to accommodate the firewall and exterior wall requirements of the building code. He has reviewed the resubdivision plat and recommends approval on the condition that the following items are satisfactorily addressed on the final plat: 1) The east lot line of Parcel B does not coincide with the west property line of Lot 1. It appears that part of Lot 1 was conveyed to the owner of Lot 2. This conveyance should be tied down by dimension and the Recorder of Deeds book and page should be m-10-23.plc
