Body
Summary:
Applicant/Owner: 28 Polo LLC
Consultant Representative: 28 Polo LLC
Location: 28 Polo Drive

This is an appeal of City Planning Commission's denial of a preliminary and final plat and two nonuse variances. The preliminary and final plat application is for dividing an existing 38,460 SF single-family residential lot into 2 lots. The nonuse variances are for lot size and lot width. The property is zoned R (Estate Single-Family Residential) which requires that a new lot created be a minimum of 20,000 SF and a minimum of 100 feet in width.

The lot width variance allows a 67 foot lot width at the rear setback line for Lot 1 and a 59-foot lot width at the rear setback line for Lot 2. The appeal is attached as FIGURE 1.

Please note that "approval of the appeal" results in approval of the applications; whereas "denial of the appeals" results in denial of the applications.
