Criteria of AoorovallRef. Section 33.030 of the Sorlnafield Develooment Codel
The application shall be approved, approved with conditions, or denied based on compliance with the
criteria of Section 33.030 of the Springfield Development Code. Staff shall develop findings of fact
demonstr~ting that the lot line adjustment does not:
(1) CREATE A NEW LOT OR LAND-LOCKED PARCEL;
The proposal is to adjust the interior property line common to Liberty Subdivision Lot # 9 and
Liberty Subdivision Lot # 2. Both lots will now abut Liberty Subdivision Lot # 10. Lot # 9 has
frontage on Island Street and Lot # 2 has frontage on Rainbow Drive. This lot line adjustment will
not affect access to public rights-of-way or create a new lot.
FINDING: This proposal does not create any additional lots or land-locked parcels because the
lots are pre-existing and maintain frontage on public streets, therefore this criterion has been met.
. . .."
(2) REDUCE AN EXISTING LOT BELOWniE MINIMUM DIMENSIONS ESTABLISHED BY
THE APPLICABLE ZONING DISTRICT OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE STANDARDS OF THIS
CODE, OR STRUCTURAL SPECIALTY AND LIFE SAFETY CODE STANDARDS;
All property involved is zoned Low Density Residential and is subject to frontage and lot size
standards of Article 16.
. SDC 16.030, Lot Size Standards. The minimum lot size in all residential districts shall be
as follows: 2. Lots onnorth~outh streets s.hall have a minimum lot.slze of 5,000 square
feeUnd a minimum lot frontage of 60 feet.. ' , ,.. ., . . .
Liberty Subdivision LOT # 9: The area of Lot # 9 will be reduced to approximately 7,890 square
feet after adjustment of the side (east) property line approximately 14.00 feet to the west. This lot
has frontage on Island Street (north-south street), The frontage on Island Street is approximately
80 linear feet.
Liberty Subdivision LOT # 2: The area,of Lot # 2 will be increased to approximately 8,497 square
feet. This lot has frontage on Rainbow Drive, The frontage on Rainbow Drive is approximately 70
linear feet.
FINDING: Both the proposed lots exceed the minimum dimensional and frontage standards of
SDC 16.030; therefore, this criterion has been met.
(3) IMPEDE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADOPTED TRANSPORTATION OR PUBLIC
FACILITIES PLANS OR APPROVED CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS;
The two properties are within City limits. The properties have not been identified on adopted
'transportation plans for future road development.
There was a 5' Public Utility Easement (PUE) on the southern portion of Liberty Subdivision Lot #
9. The dwelling unit on Lot # 9 was built upon the PUE. The City initiated a Vacation Jo. No.
1999-03-0075 to vacate this unused PUE.
FINDING: Staff finds that granting development approval to these properties will not impede
. implementation of City transportation. The lot line adjustment in May of 1998 over-looked the 5'
PUE that was located under the existing dwelling unit on Lot # 9. The City initiated a Vacation
,PUE Jo. No. 1999-03-0075, At a public hearing and second reading the City Council approved
vacation of this PUE on May 3, 1999,
.
.
(4) VIOLATE ANY PREVIOUS REQUIREMENTS OR CONDITIONS THE APPROVAL
AUTHORITY MAY HAVE IMPOSED AT A PRIOR PUBLIC HEARING OR MEETING; AND
The proposed adjustment of Liberty Subdivision Lots # 9 and #2 will not violate any requirements
or conditions imposed at the time of prior public hearing or meetings.
FINFING: This criterion has been met because the proposal does not violete any requirements or
conditions imposed at any prior public hearing or meeting.
(5) REDESIGN OR RECONFIGURE LOTS WITHIN A SUBDIVISION BY A SERIES OF LOT
LINE ADJUSTMENTS. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH CREATE TWO LOTS FROM
THREE LOTS SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED A REDESIGN OR RECONFIGURATION OF
LOTS.
The lots involved are within a platted subdivision; however, this proposed adjustment will not
redesign the lot configurations.
FINDING: The Lot Line Adjustment does not redesign or reconfigure lots within a subdivision
because lot lilies are being moved to redistribute backyard areas of existing lots and no other
changes are proposed,
Conclusion: Considering these findings of fact. staff finds the Lot Line Adjustment complies with the
criteria of Article 33, Section 33.030 of the Springfield Development Code and recommends approval of
the applicati,on with the co.nditions specified below: '
