CASE NO: ZA09-015
PROJECT: Plat Revision for Lots 7R1 & 7R2, Simmons Forest Addition
REQUEST:
Plat Revision for Lots 7R1 and 7R2, Simmons Forest Addition, being a revision of Lot
7, Simmons Forest Addition and being located at 809 and 811 Simmons Court. The
purpose of the plat revision is to divide a single residential lot of approximately 2.2
acres into two residential lots. Once subdivided, both lots will be greater than one acre
in size. A house currently exists on the north lot (7R1). The south lot (7R2) is
undeveloped. Any development on this lot will require an approved floodplain
development permit.
VARIANCE
REQUESTED:
Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, Section 5.06(B)2 requires sidewalks on both sides of all public
and private streets in residential subdivisions platted or replatted after the effective
date of the ordinance. The applicant is requesting a variance to the requirement due to
the fact that the other lots in the subdivision do not have sidewalks and the existing
lots are not likely to be replatted and therefore be required to install sidewalks in the
future.
ACTION NEEDED: 1. Conduct public hearing
2. Consider approval of a plat revision
