3. Latah County Lot Line Adjustment - Joel Plaskon
Latah County owns a parcel of land located at the NE corner of Sixth and Van Buren Streets, for which it has obtained approval to construct a parking lot for the County Courthouse. Latah County desires to purchase an additional 25 feet by 133.47 feet from the neighboring property owner to the eat. The subject properties are zoned Multiple Family Residential (R-4). The parcel currently owned by the County and the portion of the parcel the County wishes to purchase are proposed for rezoning to General Business District (GB). The proposed lot line adjustment is in conformance with the lot requirements for both the R-4 and GB Zoning Districts. The proposed lot line adjustment does not present any vehicular access issues and the setback from the proposed property line to the existing house at 520 N 6th Street would conform to the requirements for R-4 and GR Zoning Districts.
Council Consent Agenda Item #1E
ACTION: Recommend approval; or take such other action deemed appropriate.
4. Fye Lot Line Adjustment - Joel Plaskon
Louise Fye requests a lot line adjustment between two parcels of land which she owns addressed as 2020 Mill Road and 2000 Mill Road in the Moscow Area of City Impact. The subject parcels are zoned Agriculture/Forestry (AF) which requires a 40-acre minimum lot size, excepting that an existing parcel of 40 acres or more may have a one time lot division to create a parcel of at least one acre in size. Mayor and Council approved the existing two parcels of land as a lot division on October 17, 1994 (contract to the October 3, 1994 date specified in the attached letter from Mrs. Fye). The current proposal creates no new building lots nor does it create any lot less than the allowable one acre minimum lot size for the AF Zone. The only concern of record from the public in the original lot division request was that the new building lot (now addressed as 2000 Mill Road) not be used for commercial purposes. Since that time, said parcel has been developed with a single family residence. No new development is proposed with this lot line adjustment request; each parcel has its own driveway and the required building setbacks of the AF Zone are shown to be met.
Council Consent Agenda Item #1F
ACTION: Recommend approval as requested; or take such other action deemed appropriate.
