- Buffer Requirements
- N/A.
- Attitude of Property Owners
- Twenty Seven (27) property owners within 300 feet of the subject properties
were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning Department received one
letter in opposition to the case. His main objection is that there is not a
need to change the zoning since the existing allows them to build houses with 1
acre lots. He lists several successful 1 acre lot subdivisions.
- Additional Information
- The purpose of this rezoning request is to amend certain conditions in
Ordinance 04-103. Three conditions were placed on the properties in 2004. The
applicant is requesting to amend Condition #1 and Condition #2, which currently
read as follows:
1) The developer is restricted to a maximum of 129 lots as depicted on the
attached preliminary plat by Hobbs, Smith and Associates dated November 24,
2004 and to all buffers, easements, street frontages, building setbacks and
fencing which shall run parallel to the interior line of the 40-foot buffer
shown on said plat and to all other easements of record. The utility easement
for lots numbered 122 through 126 on said plat shall be removed. Said plat is
hereby made a part of this ordinance and is specifically incorporated herein by
reference.
2) Those 23 lots numbered 1, 6, 7, 17, 18, 19, 25, 48, 49, 65, 70, 89, 90, 91,
92, 93, 104, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, and 129 on said plat shall remain zoned
A-l , shall be permitted to use R-lA front and side setbacks, and shall be
subject to a 40-foot rear setback.
The applicant is requesting to amend certain requirements of Conditions #1 and
#2 (which will be shown as new conditions).
