The petitioned property is vacant wooded land containing 0.910 acre (Figure 2). 2. The applicant proposes to combine the 2 into one lot (Lot 1E-2) (Figure 3). 3. The applicant purchased the property in May 2023 for expansion of its existing business located to the north of the subject properties. 4. The subject property is currently zoned M-2. (Figure 4). FINDINGS 5. The M-2 zoning district does not require minimum lot sizes. The district does not permit any residential uses (Table 1). Table 1. Dimensions of Current and Proposed Lots Lots Fronting Street Width (ft.) Area (sq. ft.) 1E Strawberry St 98.73 19,515 1F Strawberry St 101.06 20,125 Lot 1E-2 Strawberry St 199.79 39,640 6. The proposed parcel will have direct public access along Strawberry Street. PC Page 1 of 7 S24-03 Distributed April 5, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander 7. There is city water and sewer immediately available to the two parcels that run along the west right- of-way line of Strawberry Street (Figure 5). 8. The property is in a special flood hazard area, in flood zone AE11. The land has an approximate elevation of 11.8 feet. Combining the subject property into one larger lot would make development of the property easier given the necessary elevation and grade changes to meet base flood elevation.
