Commission approves lot consolidation at Bluff Avenue for single‑family home
Loading...
Summary
Commission recommended approval of a conditional‑use permit to consolidate three lots into one 11,808‑sq‑ft parcel on Bluff Avenue for construction of a single‑family home; recommendation will go to the City Council on April 6.
An applicant asked the Planning Commission to approve a conditional‑use permit to consolidate three platted lots on Bluff Avenue into a single parcel totaling 11,808 square feet so a single‑family home could be built. Staff said the consolidation is necessary due to a vacated right‑of‑way that made the combined lot exceed the standard maximum for the TN1 zoning district.
Applicant Bernie Macchi explained the survey work and said the property slopes and likely will accommodate a walkout basement. Commissioners asked about topography and whether the parcel will be subject to any unusual drainage or development constraints; staff said site detail work is required but the proposal meets the conditions for a CUP. Commissioner Erickson moved to approve the CUP as presented; the motion passed and staff said the item will be forwarded to City Council for final approval at the April 6 meeting.
Next steps: the consolidated parcel and CUP recommendation will be presented to City Council on April 6 for final action. The applicant will continue with required survey and civil plan submissions.
