Title
Request to approve the final plat of 713 Kingsley Road SW and 911 Myers Circle SW.
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
Property owners of 713 Kingsley Road SW and 911 Myers Circle SW seek approval of a plan to combine their two properties and also adjust the boundary with the abutting property at 909 Myers Circle by purchasing a portion of that property. The combination of the two lots combined with a portion of the abutting lot would enable the applicants to meet acreage and lot-shape requirements necessary to subdivide the two properties into three lots for eventual construction of three new single-family homes. At the request of Council, a traffic safety assessment was conducted and is included in the attachments.
Following boundary line adjustment, the proposed subdivision of the two lots into three lots complies with Chapter 17 - Subdivisions of the Town Code and meets the area requirements for RS-10, single-family, detached residential.
The Planning Commission voted 7-2 (Couchman and Kenney opposed) to recommend that Council deny the proposed subdivision because of safety concerns, per Sec. 17-2, which identifies safety as an appropriate consideration in the interpretation and application of this chapter. The Planning Commission was concerned that the proposed subdivision would create a driveway entering onto Nutley Street.
