Report- ~79~70 ~_-- -~ August 27, 1979. APPLICATION FOR .VARIANCE VN-21.1, IRU MOEN PURPOSE To consider a request for a variance to create two (2) lots with less than the required width. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Trv Moen LOCATION: 3044 T6th Street N.W. (Generally north of 16th Street N.W. and south of Valerie Lane) ZONING": R-1, Single Family-Residential PROPOSED. NUMBER OF LOTS: 2 Lots ORDINANCE REGULATION: The zoning code states that in.a R-1 Single family Residential District lots shall have a minimum area of 10,000~square feet and a width of 75 feet. A variance is required by this. proposed minor subdivision because the parcels will have a width of 74.49 and 75 feet is required. The applicant contends that the lots are only 5/10 `s of a foot from meeting the standards and a hardship would result if only .one dwell- ing is allowed on this site. .Staff notes. that .the lots created. deviate only .inches from the.re- qui~red width. In order to make the mast-efficient use of the property- the lot division seems to be acceptable. It should also be noted that both lots are-over 12,000 square feet in area which well. exceeds the required lot area of 10,000 square feet. The proposed subdivision and resulting variance will not change the general character of the neighborhood nor result_in the creation of lots that are not comparable with adjacent lot sizes. The lots will - have access. to public streets and public utilities are avail-able to service-the lots. .
