Board questions proposal to split Old Lewis/Quinter Pike lot; concerns about creating nonconforming lots

Aug 26, 2026

A pre‑application to split an existing conforming lot into two smaller parcels prompted concerns from board members that the proposal would create nonconforming lots in an RA40 zone; the owner and engineer cited assessor and GIS data and asked for guidance.

The full story

Staff described a pre‑application to divide a 55,957‑square‑foot parcel into two lots (proposed sizes: 28,716 sq ft and 27,240 sq ft), noting that RA40 zoning requires 40,000 sq ft and that subdivision would render the lots nonconforming under section 2‑60‑57. Engineer Louis Gentile said assessor maps and GIS records show approximately 2.18 acres and asked the board for guidance; property owner Henry described past acreage assumptions and expressed frustration at state right‑of‑way claims.
