Durham Acres. The adjustment will increase tax lot 00600 from 40,948 sq ft to 75,397 sq ft and reduce

SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS:
LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT - APPROVAL CRITERIA: Section 18.410.040 contains the
following criteria for approval of a Lot Line Adjustment request:
Section 18.410.040 - Approval Criteria states that the Director shall approve or deny a request
for a lot line adjustment in writing based on findings that the following criteria are satisfied:
An additional parcel is not created by the lot line adjustment, and the existing parcel reduced
in size by the adjustments is not reduced below the minimum lot size established by the
zoning district;
No new lots will be created as part of this adjustment. The two Lots will continue to comply with the
minim lot area for the zoning district, R-4.5 after the lot line adjustment. This criterion is satisfied.
By reducing the lot size, the lot or structures(s) on the lot will not be in violation of the site
development or zoning district regulations for that district;
Based on the plans submitted, the lot line adjustment does not create any violation of the zoning
district regulations. This criterion is satisfied.
The resulting parcels are in conformity with the dimensional standards of the zoning district,
LLA2013 -00001 Crisman Lot Line Adjustment 2
including:
♦ The minimum width of the building envelope area shall meet the lot requirement of the
applicable zoning district;
♦ The lot area shall be as required by the applicable zoning district. In the case of a flag lot,
the access way may not be included in the lot area calculation;
• Each lot created through the partition process shall front a public right -of -way by at least 15
feet or have a legally recorded minimum 15 -foot wide access easement; and
♦ Setbacks shall be as required by the applicable zoning district.
Both lots will satisfy the minimum lot width for the R zone, conform to setback requirements, and
front a public right -of -way. The adjustment does not create a flag lot. The lot line adjustment will
result in the septic drain field being located on a separate lot than the lot that it is serving; a septic drain
field easement will be recorded with the lot line adjustment. This criterion is satisfied.
With regard to flag lots:
♦ When the partitioned lot is a flag lot, the developer may determine the location of the front
yard, provided that no side yard is less than 10 feet. Structures shall generally be located so
as to maximize separation from existing structures.
• A screen shall be provided along the property line of a lot of record where the paved drive in
an access way is located within ten feet of an abutting lot in accordance with Section
18.745.040. Screening may also be required to maintain privacy for abutting lots and to
provide usable outdoor recreation areas for proposed development.
The proposed lot line adjustment does not create a flag lot. This criterion is does not apply.
The fire district may require the installation of a fire hydrant where the length of an access way
would have a detrimental effect on fire- fighting capabilities.
There is no new access associated with this lot line adjustment. Fire hydrants are already in place. This
criterion is satisfied.
Where a common drive is to be provided to serve more than one lot, a reciprocal easement
which will ensure access and maintenance rights shall be recorded with the approved partition
map.
There is no proposed common drive. This criterion does not apply.
Any access way shall comply with the standards set forth in Chapter 18.705: Access, Egress,
and Circulation.
Access complies with TDC18.705 and is currently in place. This criterion is satisfied.
Exemptions from dedications:
A lot line adjustment is not considered a development action for purposes of determining
whether floodplain, greenway, or right -of -way dedication is required.
Floodplain, greenway and right -of -way dedication is not required as part of this application. This criterion
does not apply.
Variances to development standards:
An application for a variance to the standards prescribed in this chapter shall be made in
accordance with Chapter 18.370, Variances and Adjustments.
There are no applications for variance. This criterion does not apply.
