Additional Information
Please reference the aerial map attached to the report. The single-family

residence located at 7005 Hunter Hill Court is encroaching on the subject

property. As a result the square-footage of the subject property does not meet

the minimum lot size requirements for the SFR3 zoning district in order to be

legal conforming lot.

The applicant is requesting to rezone property located at 7007 Hunter Hill

Court to SFR3 (Single Family Residential 3) with a condition to permit a

minimum lot size of 6,500 square feet. The applicant is proposing to re-plat

the lot in order to build a single-family residence.

The Unified Development Ordinance requires a minimum lot size of 7,500

square-feet for SFR3 (Single Family Residential 3) Zoning Districts.
