New Business:
1. Subdivision of land: requesting to split one lot into two lots for residential houses – Lot 10
Ocean View Court – 40003 10011 – David E. Lane.
George Shaw stated the applicant would like to divide the one lot into two lots for two single family homes. He
also stated the drainage has been approved by the City Engineer. And water and sewer are nearby. Staff
recommends approval. Commissioner Matlock asked if the parking meters were in the right of way or on the
said property. George Shaw stated when the meters were put in years ago they did not have a survey, so the City
would have to move them at some point. Vice Chair Bossick asked George Shaw if the access road on the survey
is on the applicant’s property. He also stated it looks like the five foot pedestrian access easement is in the
drainage easement. George Shaw stated those would have to be addressed by the applicant. Terry Coleman of
Coleman and Company in Savannah Georgia approached the Planning Commission and stated he is the designer
for the applicant David Lane. He stated the access road on the survey was built on this applicant’s property and
will have to be moved north. The five foot pedestrian access easement that is in the drainage easement can be
adjusted before the plat is recorded. Vice Chair Bossick asked if the system they are going to connect to the
City’s system will have the capacity to handle the two lots. Terry Coleman stated it does meet the City’s
requirements. Vice Chair Bossick asked George Shaw if the City looked into the amount being added. George
Shaw stated the City Engineer Peter Gulbronson reviewed it as well and is comfortable with the design. David
Lane who lives at 2 Penny Feather Lane, Savannah, approached the Planning Commission. Commissioner
McGruder asked David Lane if he is going to build on the lots for himself or will he sell them. And is he aware
of the tree ordinance. David Lane stated he is going to build for his self on the two lots and he will follow the
tree ordinance requirements when he goes to build. Commissioner McGruder made a motion to approve.
Commissioner Matlock seconded. The vote to approve was unanimous.
