Overview The current property at 1842 Mainstreet is currently three lots. The existing building straddles two of the lots, with the majority of the parking lot within the third lot. The applicant is proposing an addition to the south side of the building. The problem is that in the past buildings were allowed to straddle lot lines. This was not a good practice and is not allowed today. To remedy the situation the property will be re-platted and combined into one lot. Primarv Issues to Consider � • What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site? • Does the lot meet the minimum lot requirements? • What are the specifics of the plat? • Does the proposed plat meet the subdivision requirements? • Will park dedication fees be required?

The zoning of the property is B-3, General Business. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this site as Commercial. The zoning and the Comprehensive Plan are consistent with the proposed use. • Does the lot meet the minimum lot requirements? The B-3 zoning minimum lot size is 3000 square feet and minimum width is 25 feet. The lot exceeds the minimum requirements. • What are the specifics of the plat? When the property is replatted there will be one lot for the site. • Does the proposed plat meet the subdivision requirements? The plat, as proposed, meets the subdivision requirements. � • Will park dedication fees be required? Park dedication fees will not be required, since no new lots were created. Alternatives l. Recommend approval of the preliminary/final plat. By recommending approval of the preliminary/final plat, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval. 2. Recommend denial of the preliminary/final plat. By recommending denial of the preliminary/final plat, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial.
