Description/Background:
The applicants, Lance & Robyn Platt, are requesting preliminary subdivision and Sensitive Area Overlay review for a proposed four (4) lot subdivision. This request includes multiple special exceptions requests from the typical requirements of the development code: subdivision design with two points of access; private lane improvements of less than twenty-seven feet (27’) feet of asphalt; exceeding maximum lengths of cul-de-sac (or single access) roads of 600 feet in a SAO zone; exceeding maximum length of 150 feet for private lanes; and seeking approval for lots without public frontage.
The subject property is 5.5 acres in size and consists of three (3) existing lots and two (2) parcels. The proposed subdivision would create one new 2.04 acre lot (Lot 1), where the Platt’s would build a new home, out of two parcels that have not been created with a subdivision plat and are not yet considered buildable. It would amend the lot boundaries of three (3) existing homes (Lots 2-4). Lot 2 is included in the plat because the southern half of this lot was never legally split through a subdivision and is being incorporated into Lot 1. Lot 3 and 4 are included in the plat because the applicant is acquiring land from these lots to create a flag lot stem (private lane) out to Dimple Dell Circle.
