PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The final plat for the Amended Plat of the East 87.5 feet of Lot 2, Block 1, Algeo Subdivision is being presented to City Council for approval. This plat was reviewed as an Expedited Subdivision as outlined in Section 23-305 of the City of Billings Subdivision Regulations. Expedited plats do not require a preliminary plat approval and after a check print review by staff, can proceed to a final plat. This plat will create 2 lots from a 13,125 square foot parcel of land. There are two existing duplexes on the lot.
The parcel is generally located on the southeast corner of 8th Street West and Avenue B. The subject property is legally described as the East 87.5 feet of Lot 2, Block 1 Algeo Subdivision and is zoned Residential 6000 (R-60). The owner applied for and received a variance from the required lot size. Variance #1272 was approved by the City Board of Adjustment on January 3, 2018. Duplexes require 7,000 square feet in R-60 zoning. It also granted variances for setbacks for the existing structures from the side and front yard lot lines. The two buildings were constructed in 1910. The representing agent is Pinpoint Land Surveys, PLLC, Clay Schwartz, PLS, and the owner is Maxine Allman. Staff has determined that the proposed plat meets all the requirements of an expedited plat and is forwarding a recommendation of final approval to the City Council. Upon City Council approval, these documents are appropriate as to form for filing with the Clerk and Recorder.
