Title
Plat Revision Lots15 &16 Phase I The Gardens
Body
SUMMARY:
This is a 1 lot subdivision that is combining two lots into one. The lots are part of Phase I of the Gardens, which is very different from the rest of the development. The original concept was to create footprint structures surrounded by common open space. Through the years their model has changed. The developer and owner of the two lots are working to change part of the original footprint idea to meet closer to the current model of development. When the original plat was created, there were no setbacks on the lots, however, by combining the two lots into one, the standard setbacks are required by the Crossville Regional Planning Commission's subdivision regulations. The common ground open space that surrounds the lots was intended to be the "buffer" between structures. The developer is requesting a variance to the required setbacks.
VARIANCE REQUEST:

o The Developer and owner is requesting a variance to the required setbacks and allow the property to be developed as it was initially intended and approved by the Planning Commission, with the exception that a single family structure be constructed instead of the planned duplex. The developer does have a plan to join the common ground open space to the existing lots in Phase I and make each lot bigger. When this occurs, the majority of lots in the development will meet the required setbacks. The variance is being requested for these lots due to the time needed to achieve the overall change in the phase, and the desire to move forward with the construction of the new home by the owner.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
* With the existing common ground, proper separation is achieved for adequate fire protection. The exception to this being Lot 17. Lot 17 ...
