Background The property at 6348 and 6352 Buffalo Speedway is in a Single-Family 1 (SF1)zoning district at the northwest corner of Buffalo Speedway and Duke Street. Both building sites are vacant and the property owner is electing to combine the properties through the platting process in order to construct a residence. The original plat of West University Place First Addition shows Tract I and the north 50 feet of Tract II as one platted lot. At some point in the 1940's,the property was divided into two 50'x 150'parcels. A 25'portion of Lot 2 was combined with Tract II and a structure built on it prior to 1987. Since the two tracts are being combined with the 25'portion of Lot 2(as part of Tract II),the building site is not made up of whole,undivided,previously platted parcels,and state law requires the property to be platted. Usually these types of lots can be combined through an administrative platting process. In this case,however,the remaining 75'feet of Lot 2 is part of another building site,and the adjoining property owner is not a party to the plat. Since the adjoining property owner is not a part to the replat,a public hearing and approval of the Zoning and Planning Commission is required. State law further requires notices to be sent if the property has been used as or is zoned as single family residential for a period of five years prior to the plat request. Staff Recommendation Chapter 74 of the Code of Ordinance sets out the minimum technical requirements for preliminary and final plat approval. The proposed plat meets those technical requirements. There are no increases in the number of lots or city services. The Public Works Director does not require any additional easements. These types of lot combinations are generally allowed through a building site designation affidavit filed in accordance with the zoning regulations. The property owners of this site preferred to follow the replat process in order to create a single building site. Staff recommends preliminary and final approval of the replat.
