Commission staff backs conditional variances for five-lot subdivision that includes detention and setback changes
Staff recommended conditional approval for a five-lot subdivision proposal that requests a reduced stream buffer for construction of a stormwater detention facility, increased impervious coverage methodology for undersized lots, and front/rear setback reductions; conditions include replanting to buffer standards after detention construction and a licensed-engineer letter confirming erosion controls before preconstruction inspection.
The full story
Staff introduced a five-lot subdivision application that would reconfigure lots to expand two small lots using area from a larger lot and would require multiple variances: reducing the stream buffer from 75 feet to 25 feet for grading the stormwater detention facility, allowing higher impervious coverage on undersized lots using the city’s standard methodology (up to 3,500 square feet in some calculations), and reducing front and rear setbacks on several lots to accommodate buildable areas.
