APPLICATION Amended Plat
APPLICANT Harlan McElroy
OWNER Harlan McElroy
RPRESENTATIVE Terry Kirk
LOCATION Southwest of Parachute
PROPERTY Lots 7&18 Block 11 Travelers Highlands
LOT SIZE 10,000 Sq. Ft.
ZONING CL
1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The applicant is requesting to combine lots 7 & 18 (each lot is 5,000 sq. ft.) into one lot. This
request will meet the required minimum lot size and setbacks for the underlying zone. Additionally,
the request will help facilitate separation requirements for a septic system. The minimum lot size in
the CL (Commercial Limited) zone is 7, 500 sq. ft. For this lot the setbacks are as follows:
• Front: 25'
• Rear: 7.5' Commercial, 25' Residential
• Side: 10' or '/2 the principle building height -- whichever is greater
Staff Comments
The proposal is relocating two or less property lines common to two properties, allowing the board
to approve the request at a public meeting. The applicant's request will help eliminate two non-
conforming lots. The proposed amended plat will conform to all applicable dimensional
requirements of the CL zone with respect to lot size and setbacks. Additionally, the larger lot will
facilitate the use of an ISDS.
2. AUTHORITY
§6:10 of the Subdivision regulations states that an amendment may be made to a recorded plat, if
such amendment does not 1) increase the number of subdivision lots or dwelling units, or 2) result in
the major relocation of a road or add new roads. This request will not result in either of the two
aforementioned standards and Staff finds these standards are met.
