Public Hearings

LU# 3-19-4: Thomas Lambrinides & Debra Dolan - Block: 206, Lots: 4 & 5, Minor Subdivision

Mr. Thomas Lambrinides came forward, on behalf of the owners of properties Block 206 Lots 4, 5, and 6, and was sworn in to testify on application for minor subdivision. He confirmed receipt of Mr. Stoner’s May 3, 2019 engineering report. Mr. Stoner explained the proposed subdivision of the Lot 5 property will result in conveyance of 3000 sq. ft. to Lot 4 and 12,000 sq. ft. to Lot 6. Mr. Stoner explained the application as submitted would require two waivers: #11 existing contours with maximum contour intervals of two feet and #12 environmentally sensitive areas delineated. He recommended the waivers be granted due to the simple nature of the application and that no additional improvements are proposed resulting in application to be deemed complete. All board members agreed to grant waivers as recommended by board engineer.

Mr. Stoner explained properties are located in the private lake community residential zone requiring minimum of 10,000 sq. feet lot size. He reported that existing Lot 4 is undersized at 8,000 sq. ft. but with additional 3000 sq. ft. will now be conforming in area. Lot 6 is already conforming at 15,000 sq. ft. but will increase to 27,000 sq. ft. Mr. Stoner stated Lot 4 has an existing non-conforming front yard setback of 31.3 ft. but noted subdivision will not cause condition to be any worse therefore no variance will be needed. The lot width of Lot 4 at 60.3 ft. is existing non-conforming but will be closer to conformity at 90.3 ft. if application is approved. Mr. Kienz confirmed no variances are needed and that property will maintain the status of pre-existing non-conforming, to which Mr. Lambrinides stated he understood.

Mr. Stoner stated that Lot 6 has an existing non-conforming front yard setback which will remain as such. He noted that application addresses encroachments that the owners of Lot 6 currently have on the existing Lot 5 property. Board members had no further questions for the applicants or Mr. Stoner.

Chairman Theobald opened the application to the public. Seeing no one wishing to come forward, application was closed to the public.

Motion: A motion was made to approve LU # 3-19-4 as presented by Mr. Williams and was seconded by Mr. Mele.

Record reflects that Ms. Cocula and Mr. Whitaker returned to the meeting.
