FROM: Planning ana Zoning Committee

Re:  R#29-79

SUBJECT:

LEGAL
DESCRIPTION:

BACKGROUND:

RECOMMENDATION:

Application to rezone 1672 Prairie Avenue
from RS-1 to RS-1A to allow the subdivision
of the property into two lots.

Lot 2, Blk. P, District Lot 466, Plan 16570

The subject Property is 82-feet wide by 149
feet deep. There is a relatively old house
Situated on the property. The location of
the house is such that Subdivision into two
41-foot lots is impossible unless the house
is removed or extensively altered. In
discussing with the Chief Building Inspector,
he indicated that alteration of the existing
house to the point where Subdivision is
possible would be very complicated and he
foresees a great deal of problems.

Although the property is located in an area
where there are small lots in the blocks to
the north and to the west, all the other
properties within the block where the subject
property is located are relatively large
lots. Therefore to allow this property to
be subdivided into two small lots does not
appear to meet the intent of the RS-lAzone.

The Committee reconmends that the rezoning
application be disappreved,
