STAFF REVIEW

The subject property is located on the north side of Brown Lane. The property was originally platted in 2002 (PF-06-18-02). The western boundary line of lot 30A has been previously amended (moved 3’ to the west) by a Lot Split. (LS-03-02-05)

 

The proposed change, moving the east boundary line of Lot 30B 3’ to the east, is minor. This type of change could be approved administratively through a Lot Split; however, City Code allows only one division per lot through a Lot Split, so replatting is necessary. All lots, as configured on the final plat, meet the size and area requirements for the RS-2 District. No new streets or access points are required.
