Kelly, yes; Dement, yes; Lewin, yes; Gaylord, yes; Sharp, yes. 5 yes, 0 no. Motion carried. Planner Waldock spoke in reference to County Case Variance. Applicant - Kurt A. Carlson (Agent), Owner - Lanny & Andrea Plough. Location - Lots 42 and 43 of Plainfield Acres, Unit #4 on Frederick Avenue in Plainfield Township. The applicants desire to develop Lots 42 and 43 of Plainfield Acres with two (2) single-family residences. The site is about 2.7 acres and is vacant. Although the site is comprised of portions of two (2) lots, there is only 66 feet of frontage on Frederick Avenue. Lot 43 has no frontage at all. The proposal would reserve 33 feet of frontage as access to each residential lot. The parcel would then be divided accordingly. zt would appear that the layout of the site was intended to accommodate future extension of Norman Avenue. Village sanitary sewer and water are located along Renwick Road (about 240 feet from the site). Due to the close proximity of sewer and water lines and the potential for extension of Norman Avenue subdivision of the site into residential lots appears feasible. A two-lot division as proposed is not compatible with current Village policy or standards. However, Village regulations would permit construction of a single residence on site. The Plan Commission found that Norman Avenue extension would not be of great value to the street network of the area since it runs parallel and in close proximity to Renwick Road. For this reason, they did not recommend its extension. The Commission recognized that a single home could currently be construction without further approvals and felt that two (2) homes on 2.7 acres was not going to be a detriment. Plan Commission recommends no objection be filed regarding this case with stipulation that the homes be centered on the lot close enough to prevent further development of the site. Mayor Latta questioned Planner Waldock as to his recommendation. Planner Waldock stated he recommends for rejection of the case and that the Village files an objection, due to increases in the non-conforming status of existing site. Attorney Kurt Carlson spoke representing the Ploughs. Mayor Latta stated a variance was issued in the past on this property about 1985.
