CITY COUNCIL: June 12, 2014
LOCATION: 110 S. Campbell Ave. PIN: 4-0019-03-007
APPLICANT: Lorena Mitchell OWNER: same
EXISTING USE: residential PROPOSED USE: same
ZONING: R-2 USE PERMITTED BY RIGHT: yes
COMMUNITY CHARACTER MAP: Marshfront Neighborhood
APPLICATION: Minor Subdivision
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide 1 lot into 2 lots.
ANALYSIS: Solely for refinancing purposes, the owner of 110 South Campbell Avenue is requesting approval of
a minor subdivision that would create two lots from one lot.A description of the refinancing situation as written by
the applicant has been included in this packet.
The minimum size requirement for an R-2 lot is 4,500 square feet for a single-family structure and 6,750 square
feet for a duplex. Currently the property at 110 South Campbell Avenue is a conforming single-family lot with
6,208 square feet. The attached subdivision plat proposes creating Lot 42-A with 2,263 square feet and Lot 42-B
with 3,945 square feet. Approval and recording of this minor subdivision request would result in two lots of
nonconforming size.
The general character of this area of South Campbell Avenue is residential with commercial uses within walking
distances to the north. The property is located in an R-2 zoning district. A description of the R-2, one- and two-
family residential district follows.
The purpose of this district is to provide for affordable development of single-family and duplex style
development. This district is intended for medium density residential neighborhoods which are quiet and
livable. This district includes a mixture of one and two-family homes with compatible educational,
religious, and public institutions as well as limited home occupations. [Section 4-050(C)]
The two existing dwellings do not conform to several of the required R-2 setbacks (20-feet front, 10-feet rear and
sides). The Chatham County Property Record Card provides an actual year built of 1950 for the structure to the
north. No date is available for the south structure. Granting of the subdivision would result in additional
nonconforming setbacks along the new property line for both structures.
If this request is approved, as stated on the proposed plat the existing metal storage building in the rear yard would
be relocated so it would not be straddling the new property line. A relocation permit would be required.
The description of the Marshfront Neighborhood Community Character Area from the Comprehensive Plan:
These neighborhoods are fronted by coastal marshlands and contain a wide mix of new and old residential
development and a sporadic mix of commercial properties. Coastal marshlands surround these areas and
many lots contain access to the water via tidal creeks. The surrounding marsh provides scenic views,
natural resources, a recreational amenity, and dock access to the water.Due to the close proximity of
1
marshland and local waterways, land use and protection of natural resources requires special
consideration in these neighborhoods. The nature of existing zoning classifications has preserved some
undeveloped land within these areas.
The table below demonstrates how the proposed subdivision fits with the Recommended Development Strategies
outlined in Section 1.2.8 of the Comprehensive Plan for the Marshfront Neighborhood Community Character Area.
Comprehensive Plan Section 1.2.8--Marshfront Neighborhood
Meets
Recommended Development Strategies Strategy
YIN or NIA
1 New development, redevelopment and restoration should be consistent with existing character of
the area in terms of mass, scale, use, and density.
2. Permit only uses compatible with the character of the area. Y
3. Permit only uses that will not adversely impact the marsh environment. Y
4 Establish and enforce marsh buffer standards within this area,and identify uses that will be N/A
allowed within the buffer and those that will be prohibited.
5. Tree preservation should be prioritized to protect the scenic and habitat value of this area. Y
Encourage land uses, through clearly defined guidelines,that protect against stormwater
6. pollution including: xeriscape landscaping, pervious surfaces,and erosion and sedimentation N/A
control.
7. Limit housing density,size,and height within this area through zoning. Y
STAFF FINDING
The proposed subdivision is contrary to the R-2 minimum lot size requirement. The proposed subdivision would
create additional nonconforming setbacks along the new property line. The request is in keeping with the
neighborhood in terms of density and scale.It is also in keeping with the strategies of the Character Area.

Subject: From Lorena Mitchell
Dear City Counsel,
Please consider my request for subdivision of my lot located 110 South Campbell Ave.
I am requesting this as I am not able to refinance or get home equity loan as the two properties dwellings are on
the same lot. I have been told by BBT and United Community Bank that Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae will not
provide financial services to this configuration of property.
My original loan and subsequent loans have not been problematic but it appears with new regulations and
protections due to the banking crisis the rules have changed.
In the event that I consider selling them in the future it is important to note that I still have an original mortgage.
The two properties would have to sell together.
The property as is,will not provide me with the most usable resource. I cannot refinance at lower rate, I
cannot use the equity of the past 20 years.
Thank you for taking your time to consider my request.

Dear Counsel persons,
Please see below considerations for the subdivision of property located 110 South Campbell
• There are 2 dwellings on the same lot. One dwelling is a wood frame house-built approx 1952. The other is a
block frame duplex built approx 1972. They have separate water meters and each unit is supplied with separate
electric meters.
• I have not been able to secure refinancing or equity line of credit due to this configuration. The bankers want to
mortgage or provide equity on them separately.
• My banker, Randy Buchanan,United Community Bank,Burnsville NC, has told me that Freddie Mac and or
Fanny Mae will not provide fmancing for this configuration
• I need to be able to access these financial options in order to keep the property maintained and to provide for
improvements.
• The current mortgage is for both properties on the same lot thus if ever sold they would have to sell together.
This was accomplished in a very different financial market many years ago and when I was living in the home.
Thank you for your time considering my request.

Tybee Island, GA 31328 vri 1-;r s
RE: Property at 110 S Campbell Ave,Tybee Island,GA owned by Lorena Mitchell
Dear Counsel Persons,
Please recall that Lorena Mitchell has petitioned for subdivision of her lot at 110 South Campbell
Avenue. There are two separate housing units located on this one lot. One is a single story frame home
and the other is a duplex.
Miss Mitchell approached me last year to secure a mortgage loan on this property. Her intention was to
secure loan proceeds which would partially be used for repairs and improvements on this property. The
intended repairs I understand would include a new roof on the duplex, installation of insulation,
landscaping and beautification, a new sewer line for the frame home, and other improvments.
Unfortunately we were unable to assist Miss Mitchell with her financing request. We are a retail bank
with a full service mortgage lending division. We do all types of mortgage loans including conforming
loans which are underwritten to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements. We also do government
loans such as FHA,VA, and USDA. Furthermore we have our own portfolio loans which are underwritten
to our bank guidelines such as home equity loans and portfolio first and second mortgage loans. None
of these programs could be made to work due to the fact that two separate housing units are located on
one lot, Indeed even being able to obtain a usable appraisal was not possible due to the multiple
housing units on one lot as comparable sales were not available as such. Neither Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac will accept such properties for financing. On the other hand, if either of these residential
units were deeded and situated on its own lot the financing request could have been completed as Miss
Mitchell requested. More than one residential unit per deed is not allowed for this financing.
This also means that possible buyers of the property in the future would have limited options for
obtaining financing for the property due to the same problem of having two separate residential units
on one deed. This could of course present a problem for Miss Mitchell in the event she should decide to
sell the property at some future time as the availability of proper financing is often a necessary
consideration of a real estate transaction.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sinrely yours,
