APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
The petitioners, Filip Durbas and Britta Hatzold, own two (2) contiguous parcels of vacant unimproved
land on the east side of Prince Crossing Road, approximately 70 feet north of Main Street, in the ER-1
Estate Residence District. The northern parcel contains 39,639 square feet and the southern parcel
contains 37,461 square feet. The parcels were originally platted in 1914 as Lots 8 and 9 of the First
Addition to High Lake Subdivision.
The petitioners are proposing a Minor Subdivision to consolidate the two (2) parcels to create one (1)
77,100 square foot lot. The width of the new lot will be 262 feet while the existing depth of 327 feet will
not change. The proposed consolidated lot will satisfy all lot size requirements of the ER-1 Estate
Residence district. No public improvements nor any public ways are proposed with the Minor
Subdivision. The petitioners intend to construct one (1) single-family home on the proposed
consolidated lot.
At its September 7, 2022 meeting, the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (PC/ZBA) reviewed
the proposed lot consolidation and found it to be in compliance with the City’s Subdivision Regulations
Code. Members voted unanimously (6-0) in favor of recommending approval of the Minor Subdivision.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Consideration of the proposed Resolution approving a Lot Consolidation for 181 North Prince
Crossing Road.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
A quorum was not present at the September 12, 2022 meeting of the Development Committee and therefore
the Chair of the Development Committee directed the item to City Council for full consideration so the petitioner
does not lose time for a decision through no fault of their own.
