Owner seeks one-lot subdivision on Madsen Drive; staff flags R-1 minimum lot-size shortfall
Loading...
Summary
Don Elzinga requested a lot split at 8680 Madsen Drive to create a buildable lot behind an existing house; staff noted the proposed Lot 2 measures 18,999 sq ft, below the R-1 minimum of 20,000 sq ft, which would require increasing the lot or a variance.
Don Elzinga asked the commission for approval to subdivide the rear of a property at 8680 Madsen Drive so the owner can build a new single-family residence. Elzinga said the neighborhood has older, smaller homes at the north end of the subdivision and larger homes at the south end, and that the proposed new house would likely be a modest ranch.
A member of town staff told Elzinga they will provide comment numbers for the record and noted a regulatory issue: Lot 2 is 18,999 square feet, under the R-1 zoning minimum of 20,000 square feet. Staff said the lot must either be increased to meet the minimum or the applicant must seek a variance. Engineering review was noted as pending.
The commission did not take final action; the applicant will return to the Feb. 18 meeting to request publication for a March 18 public hearing if revisions or a variance are pursued.
