DEPARTMENT REPORT
May 17, 2011
1. Docket No. 11030008 PP: First and Sixth NW Primary Plat.
The applicant seeks primary plat approval for 2 lots on 0.98 acres. Also, a waiver is requested from the
Subdivision Control Ordinance:
2. Docket No. 11030009 SW SCO Chptr 6.05.01: lot width at road right of way.
The site is located at 610 First Ave NW, and is zoned R -2 /Residence within the Old Town Overlay
Character Subarea. Filed by Justin Moffett of The Old Town Design Group.
The petitioner seeks approval to subdivide the current parcel into two residential lots. The existing house will
remain on the front lot. Please view the petitioner's information packet for further detail.
The waiver being requested is for the newly created back lot to have a 20 -ft wide lot frontage at the street, instead
of 50 -ft. The department is in support of this waiver, since the driveway (which will shift a few feet north) will then
become a shared access /driveway by both lots.
Additionally, the new house garage will have to go through administrative Site Plan Design review /approval
with the planning staff, to make sure it meets the setbacks and architectural requirements of the Old Town Overlay
Character Subarea.
The Department has no outstanding comments or concerns.
Recommendation: The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that the Commission votes to suspend
its rules of procedure and then votes to approve this item this evening.
(The Secondary Plat/Final Plat will then be reviewed /approved administratively.)
Note: Findings of Fact must be submitted by the petitioner and signed by the Plan Commission president.
