Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 88008 Applicant: John E. Werner Location: 6811 and 6827 Colfax Avenue North Request: Variance (Subdivision by metes and bounds) The applicant requests a variance from the subdivision ordinance to transfer a triangular parcel of land from 6811 to 6827 Colfax Avenue North by a metes and bounds division. The property in question is zoned Rl and is bounded by Colfax Avenue North on the east and by single-family homes on the south, west, and north. Both of the lots in question have single-family homes on them. They are large lots with 100.32 of frontage each. The house and attached garage at 6811 Colfax Avenue North comply with all setback requirements from existing and proposed property lines. The dwelling at 6827 is substandard as to setback from both the east (front) and north (side) lot lines. However, these setbacks are not at issue in the proposed transfer of land. A second detached garage at 6827 Colfax is presently set back approximately 3' to 5' from the existing south side lot line. It will be set back approximately 17.8' from the proposed south lot line with the transfer of land. What is happening in the proposed land transfer is that the southwest corner of 6827 (also the northwest corner of 6811) Colfax is being moved 10' south of its current location. The southeast corner of 6827 (also the northeast corner of 6811) Colfax will remain the same. This new line creates a triangle of land to be conveyed to 6827 Colfax. The existing legal description of the land in question is Lots 5 and 6, Block 1, Morningside Estates 2nd Addition. The proposed division creates Parcels A and B, A being Lot 5 plus that portion of Lot 6 lying north of the line described earlier and Parcel B being that portion of Lot 6 lying south of that line. The resulting lot areas are 14,004 sq. ft. for Parcel A and 12,673 sq. ft. for Parcel B. These lot areas both exceed the minimum lot area for interior lots in the Rl zone (9,500 Sq . ft.). Generally, subdivisions by metes and bounds have been allowed provided that: a)no new buildable lots are being created; b) the underlying land is platted property; and c) no lot or setback variances are implied. Since all these conditions are met in this case, staff recommend approval of the variance, subject to the following condition. 1) The City Council directs the City Assessor to amend the legal descriptions of 6811 and 6827 Colfax to reflect the land transfer upon filing with the County of the proposed division. 7-14-88 5 cENj Ea 3RO0��`tNSGNQoL NIGH 3 2 F `REND P PRE' f?3 ,(P 0 t � 1 1 r' -- 5,.. s I I PARCEL A ` I N.
