Case No. 1611-030813.FP Marks Subdivision Mr. Proulx stated the applicants are seeking to con solidate two existing lots into one single family l ot in Creekside Crossing Subdivision. The existing lots met the required minimum square footage required and the proposed combined lot would be approximatel y 24,129 square feet; the applicants are not seekin g any relief on setbacks and any future home would ad here to all the Village setback requirements. The only issues would be grading or drainage issues tha t would fall between what was once a lot line. Thi s proposed plat of consolidation is consistent with V illage ordinance and the Creekside annexation agreement. There is precedent in other subdivision s where owners bought multiple lots and consolidate d them into one lot. Staff would suggest a favorable recommendation. Chairman Sobkoviak swore in Megan Marks and Scott M arks. Mr. Marks stated the only reason for the consolidation is so they can have a side load three car garage. Commissioner Seggebruch asked the size of the house they proposed to build. Mr. Marks indicted the drawings are not completed but it will be between 3 ,000 to 3400 square feet. Michael P.

Plan Commission Minutes March 19, 2013 Page 2 of 2 Chairman Sobkoviak asked if that was consistent wit h other houses in the subdivision. Mr. Marks state d the requirements on this side of the street are 260 0 to 2700 square feet with larger homes are on the other side of the street. The house will probably be pla ced more toward the northerly lot with the side loa d garage to the south. Commissioner Seggebruch asked if there would be req uests for other variances. Mr. Marks did not think they would need any variance. Commissioner Kiefer asked if the lot to the south w as buildable and if the neighbors had been informed . Mr. Marks stated John Green has the listing for the neighboring residence. Discussion was held as to how common consolidation was requested. Commissioner Heinen asked if there limitations to the size of the house.
