Title
Hearing to consider an amendment to Subdivision Map E-18 (Tahoe Paradise Unit 53) for Lots 57 and 59 to remove the 25 foot front yard setback on property consisting of 13,000 square feet (APN 036-612-19) in the South Lake Tahoe area (District V); Applicant: Russell and Judy Crawford.
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Planning staff recommends the Board certify that TM68-0058C is Statutorily Exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15268 (b) (3), and approve TM68-0058C based on the Conditions of Approval listed in Attachment 1 and the Findings listed in Attachment 2.
Background: Tahoe Paradise, Unit 58, Subdivision Map E-18 was recorded on September 25, 1968. There is 25 foot front yard setback line that was recorded on the map for all lots. The 25-foot front yard setback on the final map appears to have been implemented in order to be consistent with the development standards of the zoning district at the time. Building Permit 179917 was issued May 9, 2007, for the expansion of the dwelling and garage. The setback issue came to light when a Building Inspector visited the site for a form inspection and questioned the 25-foot setback issue which was resolved by the applicant hiring a surveyor to properly locate the parcel boundary markers. It was determined the applicants would need to file a map correction/amendment to attempt to rectify the situation.
The parcel in question is noted on the Tahoe Paradise Unit 58 subdivision map as Lots 57 and 59. The two Lots were merged by Certificate of Merge 4427/551 in 1995 and are shown on Assessor’s Parcel Map 36-61 as one parcel identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 036-612-19 but with the underlying original Tahoe Paradise Lot numbers 57 and 59 remaining.
