Kamsey City Planning Board -4- August 2, <br /> <br /> 4. Section 170.01BD (S) <br /> <br /> States that in the Residential District on unsewered <br /> lots that the river setback shall be: <br /> <br /> tt3$ feet from the bluff line or 200 feet from the <br /> n~ichever is greater" <br /> <br /> Minimum sized lot will be 2.5 acres, and <br /> ~shall be~t. <br /> <br /> These lot provisions are of real concern to us, be- <br /> cause of the acreage lying to the east (right) of Tract B, <br /> R. L.S. #$3 {along t.he river) and south of 139th Lane. <br /> Tract "B" was sold in the early 1960's with its legal <br /> access over the roadway identified as 139th Lane. <br /> <br /> This acreage {south of 139th) is around 3.5 acres with <br /> frontage of approximately 575.0 feet. According to the <br /> proposed regulations, this acrea§e could be developed <br /> to no more than one lot. Also because of its shallow <br /> shape, the 200.0 foot required setback would make <br /> house placement on this site very difficult. <br /> <br /> I have been assured in my previous meetings with this <br /> Board and the City Council' that a variance would be <br /> worked out for us for this tract, yet there'is no provi- <br /> sion for a variance for hardship in this ordinance. <br /> <br /> ~Ve believe that this tract whose boundaries were es.-, <br /> tablished prior to the Critical Rivers legislation,a~e <br /> treated much as a dwelling already built too Close to <br /> the river. We ask that we be allowed to develop two <br /> unsewered lots on this tract and be alloWed to locate <br /> the houses closer than 200.0 feet to the river. <br /> <br />Thank you for your patience with our concerns. <br /> <br />~ry truly yours, <br /> <br />JMM/jk <br /> <br />1983 <br /> <br /> <br />
