Council approves rezoning and replat for 473 Line Street to allow duplexes
Summary
The council approved a rezoning and replat request for property at 473 Line Street (applicants Daniel and Kelly Walker), changing zoning to R‑1 and subdividing the parcel into three lots with conditions including a 20-foot easement for a driveway and street signage for emergency responders.
The Common Council approved a rezoning and replat request for property at 473 Line Street that will change the parcel to allow a duplex and create three lots.
Brett Miller of Miller Land Survey presented the planning-commission recommendation on behalf of applicants Daniel and Kelly Walker. The request was to rezone the property from I-2 to R-1 and then replat it into three lots: leaving the existing house on the southern portion, creating a middle lot with a zero lot line for a duplex, and subdividing the northern portion. Planning commission supported the rezone and plat.
Council discussion noted that the duplex will face Lopez but have a Line Street address; a 20-foot easement was required for driveway access through the southern part of the lot, and the applicants must install an address sign on Line Street for first responders. Council members also confirmed that building addresses will appear on the front of each dwelling and that past nearby parcels had been built out as residential via special exceptions.
A motion to approve the rezone and replat was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote.
Ending: Planning and building staff will follow up on the address signage and easement recording as conditions of approval.
