Background
The applicant represents two adjacent parcels, 8779 Ghia Street NE (Parcel A) and a Homeowners Association common lot (Parcel B). He would like to construct a deck that is twelve feet wide resulting in a 3-foot setback. The State Building Code however requires a minimum five foot setback from the property line unless the deck is fire rated. The applicant has chosen instead to request a lot line adjustment to create an additional 2 feet of lot width.
The existing drainage and utility easement located on the northeast property line of 8779 Ghia Street NE will need to remain in place. Parcel A will need to retain the underling drainage and utility easement and be called out as such.
This is a very simple request for a waiver of platting and the conditions you see listed below are conditions listed for similar approvals that have been granted in the past.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
