General Info:
The petitioner is requesting several variances
____„.• for a 2 lot subdivision on a parcel that
,--:-- previously had right-of-way purchased to
`- : '''', 4 ii build a multi-use path along 106th Street. In
' � ��- - 2009, the City applied for a variance for this
_ parcel to allow a reduced front yard setback
t' -4 -, f of 15 feet due to the right-of-way purchase.
That variance has since expired and the
petitioner is requesting the variance again as
4.0010.04witagessmiwwwwwwo well as one for density and 2 for reduced
. bufferyards. The site is located on West 106th
.u.n. 111111101r."' - / Street between Towne Road and Ditch Road.
Oki C-71' , i It Surrounding the site are single family homes to
the south,vacant parcels east and west,and
`' Crooked Stick Golf Course to the north. Please
1 • �` � see the petitioner's information packet for
., f` more details.
Analysis:
The buildable area of this site is limited due to a floodplain running through the north of the site. Additionally
right-of-way was purchased in 2009 to construct a multi-use path along 106th Street, further decreasing the size
of the lot. A 15 foot front yard setback will allow for adequate space for the 2 proposed single family homes to
be constructed. By splitting the lot to build 2 single family homes,the subdivision will be under the required
density of 1 lot per acre. Instead, the proposed subdivision would have a density of 1.36 lots per acre,but
would consist of only 2 homes. The last 2 variances are for the front and rear bufferyards because there is a
reduced front yard setback and there is the floodplain in the back. The petitioner is requesting 5 feet for both
bufferyards instead of the 15 feet required in the front and the 20 feet required in the back.
The Department is in support of these variances.
Please see the Petitioner's informational packet for more detail.
