          [3. Variance 25-01 - Flag Lot and Radial Lot Line Variance: Consider and act on a request for approval of two variances related to Chapter 21, Subdivision and Development, Article III, Section 21-46(d) and (e) [Lots and Blocks] to allow a flag lot and a lot without side lot lines at right angles to a tangent street line or radial street line for the construction of a new single-family residence. The approximately 0.2733-acre tract is located at 300 Wista Vista Dr., west of Abrams Rd., on the south side of Wista Vista Dr. Owner: Mohammad Rahman. Staff: Aaron Zilz]
ITEM THREE, UH, THIS IS OUR VARIANCE CASE, UH, VARIANCE, UH, 25 DASH OH ONE A FLAG LOT AND RADIAL LOT LINE VARIANCE. 
          UH, AND NOW AARON, YOU CAN TAKE US THROUGH THIS. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. 
          THIS IS VARIANCE 25 DASH ZERO ONE FLAG LOT AND RADIO OR TANGENTIAL SIDE LOT LINE VARIANCE. 
          THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IN QUESTION TONIGHT IS, UH, ADDRESS IS 300 WEST VISTA DRIVE. 
          IT IS LOCATED AT THE END OF THE CUL-DE-SAC. 
          THERE, UH, ZONING TODAY IS R NINE 50 M UNDER ORDINANCE 5 89. 
          THE REASON WHY THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE COMMISSION IS SEEING THESE TWO VARIANCES IS TO ALLOW A FUTURE PLAT TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY FOR REVIEW AND WHICH, AND THESE TWO VARIANCES WILL ALLOW THAT PLAT, THAT FUTURE PLAT TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE CITY'S SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS. 
          AND SUBSEQUENTLY, AFTER THAT, THE APPLICANT WOULD THEN BE ALLOWED, UH, IF THAT PLAT WERE TO BE APPROVED, THEN THEY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO SUBMIT FOR BUILDING PERMITS. 
          SO THE 
          [00:05:01]
TWO REQUESTS TONIGHT ARE ONE, THE FLAG LOT CONDITION, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE. 
          YOU'LL SEE YOU, YOU TYPICALLY THINK OF A FLAG LOT AS HAVING THE LONG, NARROW PORTION ATTACHED TO THE FRONTAGE, WHICH IS HIGHLIGHTED THERE IN BLUE. 
          IN THIS, UH, PARTICULAR CASE. 
          IT'S RATHER, UH, SHORT. 
          AND THEN THE FLAG PORTION OR THE REMAINDER OF THE LOT, UH, SITS BEHIND ANOTHER LOT. 
          UH, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE, ON THE PLAN, RIGHT. 
          THEIR SECOND REQUEST IS TO HAVE NONT TANGENTIAL OR NON RADIAL SIDE LOT LINES. 
          THAT CONDITION IS HIGHLIGHTED IN, IN THE RED THERE. 
          TYPICALLY WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IS LOT LINES WOULD RADIATE OUT FROM THE CENTER OF THAT RADIUS. 
          THERE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE TOP OF THE PLAN THERE, UH, THAT THAT LOT LINE THERE IS, UH, VERTICAL AND WOULD INTERSECT THE CENTER OF THAT, UH, CUL-DE-SAC THERE. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS, UH, EXHIBIT, UH, TRACK 54 AND 57 AND LOT, UH, 13. 
          UH, THESE ARE THREE REMNANT TRACKS THAT, THAT MAKE UP THIS PROPERTY TODAY. 
          UH, THE PLA THE PIECE OF PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY PLATTED IN THE 19 1940S. 
          UH, THE HOUSE WAS EVENTUALLY, UH, BUILT ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY IN 1956. 
          AND, UH, AFTER THAT, THE CITY ADOPTED THE CITY'S SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS IN 1966. 
          THIS, UM, WITH THE, WITH THE ADOPTION OF THOSE ORDINANCES THAT EFFECTIVELY MADE THIS LOT LEGAL NON-CONFORMING IN ITS, UH, IN ITS STATE. 
          FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, THE APPLICANT APPLIED FOR A BUILDING PERMIT, WHICH THEN TRIGGERED, UM, WHICH THEN TRIGGERED A SUBDIVISION REGULATION. 
          THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION REGULATION REQUIRES A LOT WITHIN THE CITY TO, UH, TO HAVE AN APPROVED PLAT. 
          SO THE APPLICANT WILL BE GOING THROUGH A THREE STEP PROCESS. 
          UH, THIS IS THE FIRST, UH, YOU'LL BE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL WHETHER OR NOT TO APPROVE, UM, THE, THE TWO VARIANCE REQUESTS. 
          UH, SHOULD THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, HERE AND APPROVE THIS, THEN THE APPLICANT IS, UH, PERMITTED TO APPLY FOR A PLAT AND THAT PLAT WOULD THEN BE COMPLIANT WITH THE CITY'S SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS ALLOWING FOR THE FLAG LOT AND THE NONT TANGENTIAL SIDE LOT LINES. 
          UH, IF THAT PLAT WERE TO BE APPROVED, THEN THEY WOULD BE PERMITTED TO APPLY FOR THE BUILDING PERMITS, UH, THROUGH THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, THE APPLICANT'S UH, END GOAL HERE IS TO, UH, DEMOLISH THE EXISTING HOUSE ON THE LOT TODAY AND, UH, RECONSTRUCT A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN TAKE THEM NOW, AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, THEY'RE HERE AS WELL. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR AARON? UH, WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO COME FORWARD, MAKE ANY REMARKS? IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. 
          GOOD EVENING, SIR. 
          MY NAME IS MOHAMMED RAHMAN. 
          I'M THE OWNER OF 300 WEST VISTA, SO MY PLAN TO THE HOME IS RIGHT NOW IS VERY BAD SHAPE. 
          I WANT TO DEMOLISH THE HOUSE AND I'M GOING TO BUILD A NEW HOME. 
          HAVE YOU BUILT ANY OTHER HOUSES ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? YES, I DID THREE MORE AND MY PLAN TO BUILD THREE MORE WALLS. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME, SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SEEMS LIKE A FAIRLY CUT AND DRY CASE, UH, THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, DUE TO THE AGE OF THE PLATTING AND THE ORIGINAL PLATTING, THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, UH, THE CONFIGURATION OF THE, THE LOTS, UM, AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES, UM, THERE'S REALLY NO WAY TO FIX THIS OTHER THAN WITH THE, THE VARIANCE. 
          UM, AND, UH, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS. 
          THIS IS, WE'LL NEED TO GO TO THE, THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          UM, SO I, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF, UH, AGENDA ITEM THREE AS PRESENTED. 
          COMMISSIONER PURDY. 
          SECOND IT, I HAVE A, A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR RAISE YOUR HAND PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ON OUR NEED TO COVER? ALL RIGHT, THEN WE STAND ADJOURNED AT, UH, 7 0 9. 
          THANK YOU.
