Commission approves recommendation for five‑lot replat by BBA LLC with conditions noted
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission approved forwarding a recommendation to replat a parcel into five lots for BBA LLC; staff noted DEQ restrictions prevented canal extension, the proposed lots meet minimum lot sizes, and some lots could be narrow requiring future variances at building stage.
The commission voted to recommend approval of a proposed replat submitted by BBA LLC to create five lots, with staff noting the proposed lots meet minimum lot‑size requirements and that DEQ will not allow canal extensions.
Planning staff described the replat map and showed that dashed lines indicated current property lines while proposed blue lines showed the new lot divisions. Staff said the minimum lot size in the area is 6,000 square feet and the smallest proposed lot is about 8,300 square feet. Staff also said the applicant had hoped to dredge a canal to increase waterfront access but that DEQ does not allow such extensions without significant engineering.
Commissioners questioned whether the narrow, pie‑shaped lots would be buildable with required setbacks and learned that some lots may need future variances for placement of structures. Staff reiterated that the replat meets minimum ordinance criteria and recommended approval.
A motion to accept staff recommendations and approve the replat was made and seconded; commissioners recorded approval in a roll‑call. Staff noted drainage easements will be adjusted within the property lines and the city will retain drainage easements between properties.
Next steps: staff will forward the recommendation and the replat materials to the next level of review and the developer will address any architectural or variance requests at the building stage as needed.
