9 October 13, 1978 APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE VN-195, PERRON PURPOS E Consideration of a variance request permit subdivision of a parcel creating lots less than standard width in area. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Raymond Perron LOCATION: 177 Cleveland Avenue S.W. (see attached location map) . ZONING: R-1, Single Family Residential The applicant is the owner of a parcel of property lying immediately south of Vermont Park which extended from Cleveland Avenue S.W, on the west to 1st Avenue S.E, on the east. The app-licant currently owns and occupies a house that fronts on Cleveland Avenue. The request is to subdivide this property into just two lots as shown on the attached survey. The variance is necessary as the lots that would be created would be 66 feet in width and 8655.9 .feet in area. The standards for lots in an R-1 District are 75 feet: in width and 10,000 square feet in area. In his statement of reason for variance the applicant has only indicated that he would like to build a new home on the vacant property. The applicant has however provided the signatures of seven (7) neighborhing property owners who have indicated they have no opposition to the request. As the attached location map .indicated lots on the east side of 1st Avenue and lots on the south of 2nd Street S.E. on either side of 1st Avenue all meet or exceed the minimum width and area requirements. You will also note that in other cases variances have been approved, where conditions warranted, when there was less than the required width while the area of the lot exceeded the min~.mum 10,000 square feet. In this case that compensation is not existent as the variance also requests a reduced lot area. An additional factor to consider in this case is that property to the south of the proposed lot adjacent to 1st Avenue S.E. is also vacant and the combination of the applicants property and the property to the south would permit a subdivision creating lots all zoning code requirements in terms of both the width and area. In regard to available utilities the Engineering Department has indicated that water service would be available for 1st Avenue S.E.
