The Park Commission rc=onanea&xt to the Bconomic I)evel~t Authntity (EDA) that the site should be studied for a pm'k. In the Clmnhmsen Vhion 2/)02, September 1994, tt~ sit~ was always contrmplnt~l for developtmmt with a buil~ on tl~ c~ner with a plaza in front of old Villa~ Hall.

The CBD district mtuixes a rnini~ lot s/ze of 10,000 square feet ami only 7.39235 square feet is proposed; and'a minimum lot width of 100 feet and only 66 feet is ~ Lot 1, which the city inroads to seJl, do~ not require a vmiance. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary and final plat for Old Village Hall with variances for lot width and lot area based on the findings below. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the preliminary plst d~ to noncompliance with th~ zoning zegulation~ and denial of the vmiance request for lot size and lot' area based on the findings in the Planning Commisgion Update.

The~ are altm'natives for platting the property that do not ~ vaxiances. Th~ city could record a hintori¢ cx~rv~iofl easemeat over that portion of th~ plat that includes the Old Villag~ Hall and pl~a in front of it. This option would create one lot o~t of all th~ ~ east of Ca~at Plains Boulevard. The lot could be sold to a developer and develot~ with a conditional use permit for mo~ than one principal building on a loc However, the city would lo~e fee ownerahip of the propexty around the Old Villag~ Hall. Aho, ~ch an encumbrance would not be attr~ve to a private developer ~ they would be responsible for m~ge~a~ce of the site while not dimcedy benefith~ the/r protn~. The dry could extnmd the area around Lot 2 to be 100 feet wide by 115 feet de~ (100 fi. depth is the rn~rn,,rn required in th~ zoning district). The additional 15 feet is to make sure thc building complies with the 10 foot building setback from the property ~ This would create two lo~s that comply with ordinance. However, th~ utility of Lot 1 w the developer is reduced by tl~ elimination of a rectangular pi__oce~ of ~ in the nm'theast comer of the site which includes a portion of the pmidng lot, making it less ~xactive to a private developer. The city would ret~ addifi~ land beyond the Old V'dlage Hall and plaza that are not needed for imblic pm-tmse~, increasing the dty's PLANNING COMMISSION I~PDATE The Plmaning Commi~io~ held a public heating on January 7, 2003, t~ revit~ the proposed development.

We can do this lot split without vaxismces, tt is possible. Okay, and that's so oft~ the xvason we give to applicants. You do have a way to do this wilbo~ variances so them~ we'~ not ~mting you a iucome for the City, but that does fly iu the face of findins number 3. C actually saying that it's not based ou a desire to increase value or iucome potemiaL which I think we're tryin..= to do in thiscase. So l look at thal as ntuub~ one, there' s no hardship. Numbertwo, we cau do the split without variauces. Ntunber three, there is a dedre to increase iucome poteutial and u~ four, it is a self created ha_,dship because you can do iI without ~.
