PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Frontgate Properties, is requesting approval of a Final Plan Revision on Lots 9 and 16 of the White Eagle Commons Resubdivision, details of which include the expansion of the existing parking lot, which presently serves a dental and medical office, to include twelve new parking spaces to the west of the existing building.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located at 1303 Macom Drive. The property is zoned PDD, Planned Development District and is located in the White Eagle Club development district, and is .89 acres. The previous Site Plan for Lot 9 of the White Eagle Commons subdivision was approved as AR1999-108 on September 22, 1999. This property currently maintains an approximately 4,700 square foot building, with 22 existing parking spaces, which is utilized for a dental and medical office.
The subject property also includes the .225 acres of vacant land directly to the west of the above mentioned dental and medical office. This is Lot 16 of the White Eagle Commons subdivision. This property was originally subdivided as PDFNL1994-022 on May 23, 1994.

The Petitioner is requesting a Final Plan Revision, details of which include the expansion of the existing parking lot on Lot 9, to include 6 new parking spaces on both Lot 9 and Lot 9A of the White Eagles Commons resubdivision, which is being approved concurrently with this project. The parking spaces will be directly to the west of the dental/surgical office. There will be no changes to the layout of the existing parking lot, except where it is necessary to accommodate the expanded parking area. This Final Plan Revision will provide a total of 32 parking spaces for this business.
Concurrently with this proposal, the Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plat Revision for Lot 16 of the White Eagle Commons subdivision. Details of the request include splitting Lot 16 into three separate lots.
