Waiver of Plat-LeadensNovember 21, 1988 Planning Report: WVR88 -3
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that the
Waiver of Plat to divide 7 Blake Road South is approved.
This action will allow the north 13 feet of 7 Blake Road South to be
combined with 1202 Excelsior Avenue and the rest of the property to be
combined with 11 Blake Road South.
Overview.
The applicant is requesting to divide 7 Blake Road and combine the
north 13 feet with 1202 and the rest with 11 Blake Road. The .
applicant is also requesting to rezone the north 13 feet to B -1 and
keep the south half residential. Each half would be combined with the
adjacent lots. 1202 Excelsior is the site of Leadens Investigative
Services and 11 Blake Road South is a single family home. 7 Blake
Road is < a non- conforming lot because it does not have the required
area for an R -1 -C lot. By adding the additional area the lot becomes
conforming.
Issues to Consider.
o Is there a reason to divide the lot without the rezoning?

Is there a reason to divide the lot without the rezoning?
Without the rezoning, the applicant cannot construct the addition to
his business. The staff finds no reason to divide the lot if the
rezoning is not granted. However, if the rezoning is granted the
staff recommends a waiver of the plat to combine the northerly 13 feet
of 7 Blake Road with 1202 Excelsior and combine the rest of 7 Blake
Road with 11 Blake Road. The combining of the 35 feet with 11 Blake
Road will make the lot conforming with the area required for an R -1 -C
district lot.
Alternatives.
1. Grant the applicants request. This alternative will
allow the applicant to construct an addition plus create
a conforming residential lot.
2. Deny the applicants request. This alternative will not
allow the applicant to construct his addition and also
allow two non - conforming lots to exist. If the rezoning
is denied the waiver should also be denied.
3. Continue for further information. If the Commission
feels that further information is needed, the item should
be continued.
