The adjoining 29 tracts of the neighborhood were examined. The tract size ranges from as small as 15,750 sq. ft. up to 208,906 sq. ft. Sixteen tracts are larger, and 13 tracts are smaller than the proposed 41,000 sq. ft. for the resultant tracts of Tract 15. Therefore, by separating Tract 15, the new tract size will not be out of the ordinary. With regard to the Coi^ission's request that the feasibility of realigning the driveway be reviewed, no further action by the Applicant is required as COOT did not request relocation of the existing access. Senior Planner Joseph reviewed the staff report, and there were no comments from the audience.

Frank & Alma Hjx/Applicant. Bill Van Horn s'ta'ted that the Applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing lot zoned E-Estate into two E-Estate lots, each 41,809 square feet in size. Applicant is requesting an exception to the minimum lot size under Section 16.24.010. The lots will be accessed from a private drive, a portion of which is existing. As proposed, the private drive will provide access to five lots with a grade of 10% - 15% approaching the site. These lots are somewhat secluded and are removed from the views from nearby homes. Potential building envelopes are separated by an existing water line easement which runs through a natural draw. Average slopes are 23%. The proposed building type is well suited to a sloping site, and the proposed lots will be somewhat larger than several adjacent lots. Considering the average slope, the minimum lot area requirement is approximately 71.000 square feet. 1 ' exPr®ss®d concern that the proposed lot boundaries should be revised to be directly adjacent to the access ?h«emfn^‘4-'Verifl°ation of the availability of access across ™a?«4-eX1Stlng private drive must be made, and a road voiced^wI^-F^ 39ree®snt prepared for review.

Planner Joseph confirmed that all access will be off Raven Ave. and that an access easement to Lot 8A and associated maintenance agreement for said easement be made a condition of approval. All lots confirm to the minimum lot size requirement. Comments were heard from Ron Harvey, who advised that the majority of the Homeowner's Association he contacted were in agreement with the proposal, particularly with the note being placed on the plat stipulating that all lots would be for single-family development.

The proposed building architecture, use, and size conforms with EPURA's original finding of compliance with the Urban Renewal Plan. On—site parking, which was originally approved by EPURA, is 54 spaces, with shared parking off-site, equal to 4.8 spaces/1000 sq. ft. Parking is accessed directly off-street. Pedestrian access, as shown between parking and building entries, will be 3' wide where vehicles are parked. Parking shown on the plan extends into the 30' access easement along the north property line. Commissioners requested and received a clarification on the non-exclusive parking spaces relative to the five existing spaces "reserved'' for the bank. Mr. Van Horn stated that the Planning Commission allowed said reserved spaces during the first subdivision application. Parking supply is not an issue as existing parking spaces are in excess of the buildings, with regard to the actual number of parking spaces, Mr. Van Horn recognized that not all spaces are conforming and that the invent°ry will be amended to correctly reflect the total a11 Parkin9 spaces.
