Richard:
This Plat Showing submittal is to allow for the platting of two independent lots where there have been
historically two meets and bounds parcels. The applicant intends to build their personal house on Lot 57
and intends to sell the 1.01 acre lot that is Lot 58 for the development of one single family lot.
By this letter we request a variance for the following with respect to the above case number:
a. Driveway Ordinance No. 634, requiring a 100’ centerline spacing for residential driveways
i. Requesting approximately 85’ centerline spacing between the proposed driveways on
Lot 57 & 58
ii. The centerline distance between the proposed driveway on Lot 58 and the current
driveway on the adjacent property to the east is approximately 100’.
b. Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, section 8.01D requiring all side lot lines to be perpendicular to
the right of way lines
c. Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, section 8.01K prohibiting panhandle lots, also known as flag lots.
We look forward to a favorable response to our Plat Showing and request for the above variances.
