THIS ITEM WAS TABLED FOLLOWING PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION AT THE JUNE 17,1993 PL,~-NNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING AND REGULAR MEETING. Mr. Harrington stated that this item was originally addressed during the June 17, 1993, public hearing and regular meeting. Some concerns were expressed by several citizens prompting a motion by the Commission to table the item until the next meeting. Following is staffs analysis of several areas of citizen concern: Lot 9 in Bay Oaks, as it is presently configured, under City ordinance can be developed as a residential homesite. Granting the requested replat will increase the lot's bay frontage. Approval or denial of the replat will in no way impact the owner's right or ability to build on this lot. The property to be added to Lot 9 will be taken from the adjacent Bayside Terrace lot (Lot 13, Block 22) as noted in staffs previous report. All property will still conform with applicable City ordinances and appropriate Deed Restrictions. A concern was expressed that approving the replat would block access to or in some way be detrimental to the Bay Oaks neighborhood pazk. The property to be added to Lot 9 is at the point of closest proximity, approximately 40 feet from the park. • Both the survey submitted by Mr. Valentin and the original Bay Oaks subdivision plat (filed in May 1929) indicate that Lot 9 has direct frontage on the Dwire Street right-of--way (see Exhibits A & B). The requested replat, if approved, will not alter or affect the common property line between Lot 9 and the neighborhood park, nor will it affect the existing access from Dwire Street.
