APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LOSSEN SUBDIVISION, 0.9984 ACRE TRACT OUT OF THE
W.D.C. HALL LEAGUE, ABSTRACT #70, AS RECORDED IN VOLUME 748, PAGE 668 OF THE DEED
RECODIS OF RRAZORIA COUNTY (2005 E. BFOADWAY)
Code Enforcement Officer Ernesto Buenrostro presented a letter from City Attorney
Robert Talton written in response to the Commission's request for interpretations at
their last meeting.
The questions addressed were as follows: does the Planning and Zoning Commission have
the authority to grant variances to setback requirements addressed in the subdivision
ordinance; should the 25' side building line parallel to Hamm Road be measured from
the east or west boundary of the 20' roadway easement; and if there is a need to
grant variances for encroachment during the platting process does the Commission or
the Zoning Board of Adjustment have the responsibility to grant building line
variances.
A lengthy discussion ensued concerning possible future building, conforming and non-
conforming structures, building lines, rear and side yard requirements, rebuilding
restrictions, easements, rights-of-way, hardships on the applicant and variances that
could be granted by the Commission or the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Code Enforcement Officer Buenrostro stated the Staff would like to recommend that the
right -of -way on Hamm be dedicated so that the future subdivision of lots north of
Hamm will be platted accordingly and so that the existing pavement edge is not on the
property line and there will be a 60' wide right -of -way corridor. There followed a
discussion of ownership of the property and the owner's signature on the final plat.
Mr. Buenrostro stated he would check with the city attorney on this matter.
It was determined that the plat should be approved as it relates to the subdivision
ordinance only.
It was moved by Al Lentz that the preliminary plat of Lossen Subdivision be approved
with the following stipulations: (1) the 20' roadway easement as shown along Hamm
Road be changed to a dedication of right-of-way to the City and no longer shown as an
easement, (2) the area of lots A & B be changed to reflect the net area of the lots,
that being defined as that area of the lot exclusive of the right-of-way dedications,
(3) that the 25' building line along Hamm Road on Lot A be changed to a 20' building
line with a 45 degree angle transition adjacent to Lot B and (4) that the 25'
building line along Lot B remain the same.
Code Enforcement Officer Ernesto Buenrostro suggested that the motion be amended to
include the submission of an up -to -date title certificate.
The maker of the motion so amended the motion. The motion was seconded by Helen
Beckman.
The motion passed 6 to 0, with Mary Starr abstaining and absent from the Chamber at
this time.

Subdivision be approved subject to the same stipulations as the preliminary plat.

time.
