Memo/Leaden Investigations•
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 28, 1988
TO: Zoning & Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy S. Anderson ter.
SUBJECT: Leadens Investigations
This memo is to clarify a few items in the staff report.
First, the foot print of the addition is not correct. At
first I informed the applicant that he needed a 10 foot rear
yard setback, but when a business district abutts a
residential district, the rear yard setback is the same as
the residential district. In this case the rear yard
setback is 35 feet. The applicant has not decided on
whether he will ask for a variance or build the addition
with the 35 foot setback.
Secondly, I did not include any information about the
Comprehensive Plan regarding this site. In looking at the
land use planning map, the map is so poor that the use
cannot be determined. However, I am assuming that since the
applicants' site is outlined in black, it is not
residential. When the new Comprehensive Plan is completed,
this property will reflect what ever zoning is determined.
The last item to clarify is that the additional land added
to 11 Blake Road will make the lot conforming in width, but
not in area The minimum lot area in an R -1 -C district is
12,000 square feet The lot at 11 Blake Road is currently
non - conforming, and not buildable.
For a lot to be buildable, the area required is 2/3 of the
minimum requirement. In this case that is 8,000 square
feet. The additional land will provide the lot with the
minimum lot width and make the lot buildable. In a sense,
11 Blake Road will be made "more" conforming. 11 Blake Road
will have approximately 10,000 square feet.
