Obscrva tio ns: Mr. Letendre's property is approximately 17 acres in size and is located in the Rural Developing area of the R-I Residential District. The minilmnn lot size is 2.5 acres and the minimum lot width is 200 feet. Mr. Letendre intends to subdivide a 3 acre parcel from his homestead for his daughter. He has a total of 289 feet of frontage on Tiger Street; 400 feet of frontage would be required for each lot to meeting the 200 foot requirement, without constructing a public road into the property. Mr. Letendre has applied ±hr a variance to the minimum lot width. Per Staff's direction, he is proposing that one of the lots maintain compliance with City Code and only one lot be subject to a variance. Mr. Letendre's plan is that the.existing homestead will maintain 200 feet of frontage on Tiger Street and the new lot for his daughter would have the remaining 89 feet of frontage on Tiger Street. If the variance is approved, Mr. Letendre will proceed to apply for a minor subdivision to plat the property into two lots. Recommendation: Will be based on your discussion.
