2. What will the new dimensions be of each parcel? There is a minimum lot size
requirement of 5,000 sq. ff. for single family homes per Land Use Code section 4.8(D)(1).
It appears this proposal would push 404 Whedbee close to the minimum lot size required
for the home.
3. 404 Whedbee will lose its detached garage as part of this proposal. Since 404
Whedbee has 50 feet of street frontage, you will need to provide one off-street parking
spot per Land Use Code section 3.2.2(K)(1)(c). Please show where this parking spot will
be located.

3. If the change requires a reduction of lot frontage a minimum of 40 feet is still required for
any lot frontage. Similarly the new lot at 517 E Magnolia can never be less than it's
current lot size which appears to be 4500 s.f. Obviously the applicant is attempting to
enlarge the lot so I'll stop belaboring the point.

1. As these are lots are already platted and no additional lots are created a non -regulated
property land transfer with property line adjustment might be the only requirement. A
new legal description for both properties must be given to us which was recorded at the
courthouse. Now there may be some other considerations I've not been made aware of
in requiring a re -plat.
2. Without seeing the proposed lot line adjustment or re -plat my only comment is that any
noncompliant standards such as setback, floor area ratios, etc. cannot exceed or
increase the current non-compliance. In other words the lot line change cannot result in
a standard being further out of compliance then it already is. An example would be the
south property line at 517 E Magnolia. It can move south but not north as it is
considered the rear property line which requires a 15' setback. Currently the rear
