Dear Mr. Hronek:
This is in reference to your letter of July 24, 1981, concerning the usage
of the rear portion of the Frank Blair property at 319 South Franklin. You
state in your letter:
At the City Council meeting of-July 21, 1981, Councilwoman Mary
Atherly indicated that she had discussed the matter with the Planning
and Zoning staff that afternoon and had been informed that construction
of any multiple-occupancy units on the Blair property would quite
possibly be impossible."
I think what we have here is a misinterpretation. Please reference the
attached memorandum from this office to Paul Wiegand, Municipal Engineer,
concerning development possibilities of the subject property. This memorandum
was transmitted to City Council. Particularly, reference the last three
sentences on the first page. They state:
Assuming that 138 feet of the eastern portion of the parcel becomes
a separate lot for the existing single-family dwelling, the remainder
of the site together with the vacated right-of-way would allow a maximum
of 21 units to be constructed. Actually, because of setback limitations,
probably less units on the site would be more likely. A front yard
setback of 25 feet from the south property line and a rear yard setback
of 25 feet from the north property line would restrict the buildable
area to a 27-foot strip down the middle."
I think the rest of the memorandum is self-explanatory. If you have any
further questions on this matter, please get in contact with me.
Respectfully,
Patrick J Swi Jr.
