A variance request which would allow two zero lot line duplexes. A variance request to ailow two zero lot line duplex residential lots to neve less tFian the minim ufn lot square footage an& lot frontage. Applicant, Lanners Custom Homes. Jeff O'Neill, Assistant Administrator, explained to Planning Commission me:bers the background to Lanners Custao Hosea' conditional use and variance requests. The decision the Planning Comaission mean. ra will have to make is whether they consider this request to be for a 4-plex or for a duplex. lois decision would have to be determined prior to making the fonmal motion. Mr. O'Neill explained that the requirements for a 4-plex have been met or exceeded, and the applicant is proposing to create two zero lot line duplexes, which on the outside would look like a 4 -plexi but by lot line division, there would be two separate properties maintained to create two zero lot line duplexes. The developer has also met many of the minimum requirements for a sero lot line duplex with the exception of the minimum lot square footage required and the minimun lot frontage required. The minimae lot square footage required is 12,000 sq ft, and the developer has 10,890 aq ft of land area. The minimae lot frontage requirement to 80 feet of lot frontage, and the developer has 66 feet of lot frontage. The size of the minimum lots previously platted in the city of Monticello were 66 ft X 165 ft in depth, or 10,890 aq ft of lard area. fie minimus lot size requirements have been changed to 80 feet of lot frontage by 150 ft of lot depth for a total of 12,000 sq ft of land area. Planning Commission Minutes - 1/2/90 Chairperson Richard Carlson then opened the public hearing. Neighboring residents explained their concerns as follows: A. The previous owners of the property indicated there would be two single family houses built on these two lots and not a 4-plex. B. Previous Council action indicated a screening fence to be constructed to the rear of the Baptist Church property, which has not been Installed as of tonight's meeting date; and if this is approved, it should have an additional six-foot high solid opaque screening fence along the entire back line of the property and up the east and west side lot line to meet the rear most portion of the existing Baptist Church property and the rear most portion of the existing single family house of Vera Reamer's. C. The impact of rental property ownery with single family residences predominantly in the area. Congestion of parking and at night goes off in the spring tenants from this proposed 4-plex will be parking on the street. There is already quite an amount of congestion in the area. with the proposed 4-plex, there would be even more congestion In this area. with the construction of the proposed 4-plex and more than likely the possibility of an absentee ownership of this 4 -plea with tenants, and the possibility of four rental tenants being in this property, the property values could be diminished with the presence of this proposed 4-plex. Chairperson Richard Carlson then closed the public hearing. Motion was made by Mori Malone and seconded by Richard Martie to deny the variance request which would allow two zero lot line duplexes. Motion carried unanimously with Dan McConnon absent. Reason for denial: the proposed zero lot line 4-plex is inconsistent with the geographical area. we have no zero lot lire 4-plexes within this community= and in the event this was approved, it would open the possibility of such requests occurring in other areas of R-2 zoning.
