PUBLIC HEARING - LOT SPLIT CASE NO. 86 -437, 125 AND 133 E. (MERRY AVENUE IN THE "R -1" SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. Associate Planner Rosen advised that the request is for a lot split to create. 4 parcels from two existing lots at 125 and 133 E. Cherry Avenue. The zoning on the property is "R -1" Single Family Residential. The proposal would create parcels ranging in size from 8,460 sq. ft. to 6,860 sq. ft. Two parcels, identified as Parcels A and B, contain existing one story frame houses. Parcel B also contains an existing two car garage. Parcels C and D would have 6,000 sq. ft. of buildable lot area each. Parcel C contains the existing garage associated with the one story house on Parcel A. The garage is a legal non - conforming structure since it is within 2.8 ft. of the side property line. The present Zoning Ordinance requires a 5 ft. setback on the side yard. Access to Parcels C and D is provided by two adjoining 15 ft. easements equalling a total of 30 ft. of accessway. Since cross easements are required, this 30 ft. accessway would meet the Planning Commission's policy of 30 ft. of access for flag lots where they meet the street. Mr. Rosen noted that the proposal has been reviewed by the Staff Advisory Committee and is submitted to the Commission with the 11 recommended conditions listed in the staff report dated October 21, 1986. He pointed out that, after a field check of the property, it was found that there is an existing driveway on Parcel B for access and, therefore, the Public Works and Planning Departments recommend deletion of Condition No. 2. Chairman Carr questioned the wording in Condition No. 4, stating that in the past there have been problems in not having a maximum elevation on some lots. Mr. Rosen commented that Condition No. 4 was recommended by the Public Works Department for drainage to the street. Chairman Carr stated his reason for noting this was to assure that the elevation would be watched closely during the grading plan check. Upon being assured by the Planning Commission Secretary that public hearing for Lot Split Case No. 86 -437 had been duly published and property owners notified, Chairman Carr declared the hearing open. Mildred Lovall, 551 Traffic Way, applicant, questioned Condition #3 requiring relocation of the utility pole, stating that it is a main electrical power service. With regard to Condition #9, Ms. Lovall stated if that was established there would be 7 ft. of pavement to the utility pole and, therefore, it may not be necessary to move the pole. Faith Wescom, 203 E. (berry Avenue, stated she was concerned about what is going to happen on the lot split. Chairman Carr advised that the proposal is for two lots with a common driveway between the two existing houses. Ms. Wescom commented if they are going to be upgrading the existing houses and building two new houses, it would upgrade the neighborhood. She pointed out that there was quite a bit of controversy when the property owner on the opposite side of her tried to develop a flag lot. Ms. Lovall stated this the proposed lot split will be a monetary means for upgrading the two existing houses in the front. Hearing no further comments for or against the proposed lot split, Chairman Carr declared the hearing closed. After discussion regarding the list of recommended conditions, Lot Split Case No. 86- 437 was approved on motion by Commissioner Gerrish, seconded by Commissioner Soto, and carried with one abstention, subject to conditions in the staff report, dated October 21, 1986 and modified as follows: 1 1 Arroyo Grande Plating (zmission, 10 -21 -86 1.
