Kreymer Lane) ZC 2007 03.
Mr. Lee stated that the subject property is located at 1500 Kreymer Lane,
approximately 350 feet south of Brown Street and totals 5.0 acres. The property
is currently zoned Agricultural and being used for agricultural purposes (horses)
and an accessory building (barn) occupies the middle portion of the property.
Agricultural zoned property is considered a temporary classification, prior to
issuance of permits for construction; a permanent zoning category is required.
The AG/30 District allows for agricultural uses including raising of animals and
providing private stables.
In February 2005, the applicant/owner was successful in receiving a variance
from Zoning Board of Adjustment to allow for an accessory building (barn) on the
property without a main structure. At that time, the owner/applicant revealed to
the City his intentions to construct a single family residence on the property.
Five notification comment forms were mailed out, and three responses returned
all favoring the request.
Commissioner Onufreiczuk questioned if the property owner could split the
property into two lots. Mr. Lee stated that the property is restrained by the 150-
foot overhead electrical easement along the north portion of the property.
Commissioner Bennett questioned what the Agricultural/30 means. Mr. Haskins
stated that the Zoning Ordinance designates property that are two acres or
larger, with a dwelling size larger than 3,000 square feet.
