Title
Approval of Scarlett Subdivision - Final w/Variance
Body
SUMMARY: The developer is proposing a two lot subdivision along Adams Street between Main Street and South Thurman Avenue. There is a 50 foot setback from Main Street, a 30 foot setback from South Thurman, and a 30 foot setback from Adams Street. The developer is requesting a variance from Main Street and South Thurman. The majority of the buildings along Main and Thurman are far closer to the ROW than the required setbacks. The developer is seeking a setback for 2 feett along Main Street and a 5 foot setback along Thurman. This would allow construction to match the existing setbacks, avoid placing undue harm on the property owner while not creating a risk to public safety. Along Thurman, there is a 25 foot grass area between the curb and the edge of right-of-way.
