Commission backs replat and a variance to redraw Calais Drive lots; recommendation goes to council
Summary
Keller’s commission unanimously recommended approval of a major subdivision final plat and a variance to allow a 122‑ft minimum lot width (vs. the 140‑ft SF‑36 requirement) for a portion of the Calais Drive/Willis Lane replat; the commission heard from a licensed surveyor representing neighbors helping an elderly landowner.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5‑0 to recommend approval of a final plat and a variance for the replat of lots along Calais Drive and a portion of 1516 Willis Lane.
Staff (Miss Zimmerman) said the replat would revise south lot lines of lots 3–7 of the Cali Estates subdivision and formally plat a portion of a previously unplatted parcel at 1516 Willis Lane; the applicant requested a variance to allow a minimum lot width of 122 feet in place of the SF‑36 standard 140 feet. Licensed land surveyor Chris Blevins told the commission neighboring homeowners are seeking to buy the rear portion of the unplatted lot to help an elderly owner who cannot maintain it. "She's elderly and and is no longer able to maintain it properly and and they've helped her with that and they approached her with the thought of buying the back end of her property and increasing each of their lot sizes to help her out," Blevins said.
Commissioner Ross Brensinger moved to approve the final plat and variance; the motion passed unanimously. The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council on Sept. 1.
