LD --86--9 5412--5416 Benton Avenue South
Mr'. Larsen told the Commission the proponents are
requesting a party wall lot division of an existing double
bungalow. Seperate utility connections are not provided.
Mr Larsen recommended that approval be conditioned upon
a variance from the requirement for seperate utility
connections from the Building Board of Appeals.
Commission Members questioned why the double bungalow
is without seperate connections. Mr. Larsen said he is
unsure when construction of the double was completed and is
waiting to hear from the proponents attorney regarding
verification of separate utility connections. Commission
Members felt the double bungalow should provide seperate
utility connections to each dwelling to prevent any
misunderstandings or confusion if there was a interruption
in water service to one of the dwellings.
Mr. Gordon Johnson moved approval conditioned upon the
fact that 5412--16 Benton Avenue South has separate utility
connections. If seperate connections are not provided the
proponent is to come before the Planning Commission on July
2, 1986 with additional information. If proponent applys
for a variance from the requirement for seperate utility
connections from the Building Board of Appeals the minutes
of this meeting are to be presented to them. Mrs.
McClelland seconded the motion. All were in favor. The
motion carried.
LD -86-10 4720 West 66th Street
Mr. Larsen informed the Commission the property
consists of two lots, 38,482 sgaure feet in area, and is
developed with a single dwelling unit located on Parcel B.
Single family dwellings are located to the north and west of
the subject property and park property is located to the
east and northeast.
Mr. Larsen said the proponent desires to move the lot
line between Parcel�A and B 25 feet to the north. This lot
line adjustment would provide the required 25 foot rear yard
for the existing dwelling which fronts on West 66th Street.
The balance of lot 4 (Parcel A) would provide a building
site fronting on West Shore Drive. The lot would measure
approximately 96 by 152 feet and would contain 14,443 square
feet. The lot meets or exceeds all Zoning ORdinance
requirements for single dwelling lots.
Mr. Larsen continued that concurrently with the lot
division request the owner has petitioned the City Council
to vacate a portion of unused right--of-way (Virginia Avenue)
adjacent to his property. The westerly portion would revert
to the proponent while the easterly portion would become
park property.
Mr. Larsen concluded the proposed lot division will
result in two lots which meet or exceed all Ordinance
requirements. Parel A will provide a building site which is
compatible with and slightly larger than adjacent lots to
the north. Staff recommends approval.
Mr. Gordon Johnson moved for approval, Mr. Runyan
seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion carried.
III. ADJOURNMENT:
Mr. Gordon Johnson moved for adjournment at 7:40 P.M.
Mrs. Shaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. The
