Special Board ofAdjustment Meeting June 14, 2010 Page 2 of 2 BOA 10-3586 (37 S. GREGG AVENUE, 522): Submitted by TODD JACOBS for property located at 37 S. GREGG AVENUE. The property is zoned NC, NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION and contains approximately 0.33 acres. The request is for variances of lot width and minimum buildable street frontage in order to subdivide the property and construct two new single family dwellings. Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the background for the variance request and the minimum buildable street frontage requirement. Finding several unique circumstances on this parcel including floodplain, riparian buffer area, and the opportunity for single family infill in the downtown area, staff recommends approval of the variances. Board Member Kohler discussed that is proposal is consistent with everything that the Neighborhood Conservation zoning district is trying to accomplish and City Plan 2025. Board Member Knight asked about the location of the shared driveway. Todd Jacobs, applicant, discussed that the driveway would likely be on the property line and placed within an access easement. Garner confirmed that the driveway location would be indicated on the lot split and placed within a shared access easement on the lot split plat. No public comment was presented. Todd Jacobs, applicant, discussed that they were keeping it simple and proposing two single family homes instead of a duplex or triplex that would be allowed under the existing zoning. Motion: Board Member Alt made a motion to approve the request as requested by the applicant. Board Member Bandy seconded the motion. Upon roll call, the motion passed with a vote of 4-0-0. All business being concluded, the meeting was adjourned at 415 p.m.
