l/Residence. It complies with all ofthe S-1 zoning ordinance requirements. Just north and cast of this
parcel is the already-platted and built subdivision of Kingsborough. It is proposed that each lot will have
their mvn driveway. Additionally, the petitioner seeks subdivision waiver approvalrrom the subdivision
control ordinance, sca Chapter 6.03 .19, for access to Collector Roads. Because this is a small 3-lot
