The subject site is 60 feet wide; the minimum width for lots <br />in the R-1 District is 75 feet. The applicant wishes to demolish the existing one-story <br />structure and construct a new single family home on the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Boylan reported that he had received two telephone calls in regards to this <br />application. The first gentleman was concerned that the back lot would be developed into <br />multi-family or high density housing. Mr. Boylan reassured the caller that the application <br />was not for multi-family housing and that idea would not be supported by staff as the <br />surrounding area is single family residential. After receiving the explanations the caller <br />was in favor of the application. The second caller, who Mr. Boylan had not spoken with <br />directly, was concerned with water drainage on this property. Mr. Boylan was not sure if <br />this is an ongoing problem or if the caller is concerned that a new house would cause <br />drainage problems. Mr. Boylan stated that all new construction is required to follow <br />City standards for storm water run off. <br /> <br />Commission Howard asked if there were additional buildings on the property. Mr. <br />Boylan responded that there were two additional buildings on the property, one is a <br />garage with an extended drive and the second is a twelve foot shed. The applicant, Mark <br />Pignatello, of Marquis, Inc, stated that the shed would remain and the garage will be <br />demolished. <br /> <br />1 <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2005\7-19-05.doc <br /> <br />
