No building permits for new construction shall be issued for either Lot 1A or Lot 2A until the encroachment and applicable setback violations are cured through either relocation or demolition of the existing structure. 2)All existing fences within the subdivision which encroach on public street or alley right of way shall be relocated prior to the issuance of the first building permit on any of the three lots. 3)The applicant shall dedicate on the subdivision plat an additional three (3) feet of easement for public street purposes immediately to the west of proposed Tract ‘A’. 4)The vehicular access to the garage on proposed Lot 2A shall be relocated to come from the rear alley in conjunction with approval of a building permit for any new construction on Lot 2A, with the existing curb cut removed and restored to curb and gutter. Commission Questions of Staff: McAvinew asked if there was a timeline to be followed after the approval of the Variance. Johnstone confirmed that the applicant had six months to apply for the Subdivision Plat after the approval of the Variance. Loo asked if the neighbors had been contacted during the Subdivision Plat process. Johnstone confirmed that the neighbors within a 500’ radius of the property had received written notification of the public hearing. He also stated that no comments had been received during this process but several had supported the request for the Variance because the lots would be more to the size of the neighborhood and the Old Town Overlay Zoning District requirements. Applicant Presentation: Lee Stadele, Flatiron Survey, representing the applicant, discussed the reasoning behind the lot sizes. He also confirmed the applicant’s willingness to comply with the conditions as discussed by Staff. Commission Questions of Applicant: McAvinew asked the applicant, Kevin Thede, if he was in agreement with the conditions. Kevin Thede, applicant and property owner, stated that he did agree with the conditions. Sheets asked Thede about the homes that he planned to build on the lots.
