The Alexander Planning Commission decided to table a variance request at a special meeting held Tuesday, September 10. The variance permit was tabled to allow property owner Eric Montoya more time to receive written comments from neighbors concerning his request.
The lot is located at 14916 Regency Drive in south Alexander. It sits at the corner of Regency Drive and Charles Street. Under the proposal the width of the property will be divided into two; from 120-feet to 60-feet for each lot. Under Alexander zoning the minimum allowable frontage width is 60-feet.
The minimum lot size allowed is 8,000 square feet, Splitting the lot provides one half with 6,916.5 square feet and the other will be 6,901.5 square feet. The variance request is to allow the smaller square footage.
Montoya must bring written approval from the property owners and/or residents adjacent to his property. This includes properties across the street. The letter explaining the variance request and asking for a written response was sent to the property owners and/or residents by certified mail as required. As of the meeting he hadn't received any responses.
Present was City Attorney Chris Madison who suggested mailing the letters again using standard mail. He said some people are inclined to not take mail that requires a signature.
Commission members did take the opportunity to get many of their questions answered. The plan is to build two matching homes. Each one will be a single-floor design with three bedrooms, two full baths and an attached two-car garage. The heated/cooled area is 1,491 square feet. The minimum requirement is 1,000 square feet.
The next regular meeting of the Alexander Planning Commission is scheduled for Tuesday, October 8. The meeting will be held in the courtroom at the Alexander Municipal Complex (City Hall) at 6:30 PM.
