• • Woods on the Bay Page 2 of 4 1/16/97 At the October 17, 1996 Planning & Zoning Meeting, in regards to the replat of Block 11, there was citizen concern regarding the view of the bay. This concern has been addressed by the applicant. The previous request showed going from the original three (3) to five (5) lots which involved moving the lots to the north thus impairing proposed visibility. The replat request provided at this time proposes going from the original three (3) lots to four (4) lots. The reduction in lot sizes allows this to occur without having to move the lots to the north. An exhibit showing the original lots and the proposed lots are attached. (See Exhibit B) The proposed changes will not include any change to existing utility easements or deed restrictions for the subdivision. The depths of some of the lots have been increased by incorporating all or part of existing utility easements into the overall lot size. The developer has obtained approval from all of the twelve existing property owners. Analysis: Under the terms of Section 4.07 of Development Ordinance 1444, a replat of all or a portion of a subdivision may be released for recordation and deemed valid and controlling when the following conditions have been satisfied: A. The plat has been signed and acknowledged by only the owners of the particular property which is being replatted or resubdivided. • The replat document has been properly prepared for signature by the owners of the property in question. B. The replat does not attempt to alter, amend, or remove any subdivision covenants or restrictions. • The replat will in no way impact or violate the deed restrictions currently adopted for Woods On The Bay, Section 2, nor will the replat abrogate any restrictions noted on the original Woods On The Bay, Section 2 plat document.
