Body
Description/Background:
The applicants, Lance & Robyn Platt, has filed a request with the Sandy City Board of Adjustment for several variances from the Land Development Code. Specifically they are requesting variances from the following sections of the Code:
1) requirement of two points of access to a subdivision (15A-21-10(D));
2) cul-de-sac (or dead end road) may not exceed 600’ in length (15A-15-04(B)(7)(b);
3) private street width requirement of 27’ of pavement (15A-21-10(F) (15A-21-11(A)(1));
4) requirement for curb, gutter, and sidewalk (15A-21-02) (15A-21-10(N)); and
5) requirement that a lot have the required frontage for the zone (15A-21-21(A & B)).
These requested variances are related to a proposed subdivision, consisting of three (3) parcels totaling approximately 3.04 acres, located at 3392 E. Deer Hollow Circle. The property is within the R-1-40A Residential Single-Family Zone and the Sensitive Area Overlay (SAO) Zone.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
The Board should carefully consider the conditions listed above before rendering a decision on each of the requested variances (individually or collectively) and should follow the law as outlined above. The applicants bear the burden of proof in showing that all of the conditions justifying a variance have been met. Based upon our analysis of the letter requesting the variances and the standards and conditions to grant a variance, we recommend to the Board of Adjustment that it deny the requests as presented.
