Property located south side of East 17th Avenue, west of Central Boulevard (Goldstein) (M 78-96) Manager said the Planning Director denied the request for the minor partition, subsequently appealed to the Planning Commission, which unanimously denied the appeal August 21, 1978. Mr. Saul said the property contains 25,500 square feet and at the present time has a single-family residence with a second structure that has been e used as a rental property. The proposed minor partition involves creation of three lots, including two panhandle lots. After review of the application, the Planning Director denied the application on the following bases: 1) Based on the dimensions submitted, the proposed minor partition violated the density limitations of the South Hi 11 s Study; 2 ) Creation of three lots with development site areas smaller than the zoning laws would be out of character with the surrounding neighborhoods; and 3) Creation of two additional lots would result in excessive impact on the land. The applicant appealed the Planning Director's decision to the Planning Commission, who heard the issue August 21. The applicant pointed out at that time the map was in error and there was additional property, thus disallowing the density issue, and his request would then comply with the density standards of the South Hills Study. However, the Planning Commission determined that the two remaining points were valid and upheld the denial. Howie Bonnett, 1835 East 28th, expressed opposition to the minor partition by letter, with a copy distributed to Council. Mr. Saul said the Planning Department did indicate a two-lot applica- tion would be acceptable. Mr. Bernhard was available to answer questions. . - 9/25/78--2 <:'35
