Commission approves McAdoo Acres replat and setback variances for 620 Jewel Drive
Summary
Planning staff recommended approval of McAdoo Acres Replat C (620 Jewel Drive) with a variance to reduce required front and rear setbacks from 25 feet to 10 feet for one proposed lot; the commission approved the replat and variance after the applicant's engineer confirmed access stem widening to 25 feet.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered a replat (McAdoo Acres Replat C) and a variance request for Lot 2 at 620 Jewel Drive. Staff presented the proposal showing two residential lots (Lot 1 roughly 11,228 sq ft and Lot 2 roughly 10,344 sq ft) and explained the variance request to permit 10‑foot front and rear setbacks instead of the standard 25 feet due to the existing lot configuration.
An engineering representative, speaking via Zoom, reported the applicant had widened the access stem to 25 feet to address prior frontage concerns. Commissioners discussed panhandle lot configurations, minimum widths for safety and access, and whether the UDC should set additional minimums for certain lot splits. After questions and the engineer’s explanation, a motion to approve the replat with the variance was made and carried, with one commissioner recorded as voting nay. Staff noted any setback details will be addressed in construction plan review.
