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.
