SUBJECT:
A Resolution Approving the Final Plat for 743 McClure Rd, LLC Subdivision, located at 733 and 743 McClure Road (743 McClure Road, LLC - 24-0068 / AU13/3-24.038-FSD - WARD 1)
PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, 743 McClure Road, LLC, is requesting approval of a Final Plat for 733 and 743 McClure Rd, which includes subdividing the two (2) existing, adjacent properties, to allow for re-configured lot lines to establish a new, two lot subdivision between the adjoining industrial properties.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is zoned M-1, Manufacturing District - Limited. The Comprehensive Plan designates the Subject Property as Industrial. The property located at 743 McClure Rd is approximately two (2) acres and consists of a single-story industrial building that is approximately forty thousand (40,000) square feet in area. The property located at 733 McClure Rd is approximately two (2) acres and consists of a single-story industrial building that is approximately twenty-six thousand (26,000) square feet in area. The properties share a dedicated twenty-four (24) foot wide ingress/egress easement between the property owners for driveway access and parking. This same ingress/egress easement extends through the middle of the properties from McClure Rd to the eastern property line.
The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plat for 743 McClure Rd, LLC Subdivision, located at 733 and 743 McClure Road. The details of the request include subdividing and consolidating the existing adjacent lots into a new two (2) lot subdivision, which consists of 743 McClure Rd on Lot 1 and 733 McClure Rd on Lot 2. As part of this proposal, Lot 1 is to consolidate the rear portion of Lot 2, which is approximately twenty-nine thousand (29,000) square feet. With approval of this Final Plat, Lot 1’s area is changed to approximately one hundred twenty-two thousand (122,000) square feet, while Lot 2’s area is changed approximately sixty-three thousand (63,000) square feet. The rear portion of Lot 1 includes a seventy-one (71) foot wide Stormwater Control Easement. The Petitioner is also dedicating sixty-six (66) feet of public right-of-way on McClure Rd, which, as a result, requires a ten (10) foot wide Sign Easement to allow for the existing monument sign to remain in its place, as well as Ingress/Egress Easements to allow for the existing parking lot and sidewalk to be utilized while in the public right-of-way.
Concurrently with this proposal, the Petitioner is requesting approval of a Plat of Vacation for the portion of the dedicated twenty-four (24) foot wide Ingress/Egress Easement that runs through the accompanying Final Plat’s newly dedicated Lot 1. The remainder of the existing Ingress/Egress Easement will remain on the property, allowing Lot 1 and Lot 2 to maintain access. The area of the vacated easement is approximately four thousand, two hundred (4,200) square feet.

The Petitioner has made the requested revisions to these documents and they now meet the applicable codes and ordinances, with the exceptions of the items reflected in the conditions listed in the Staff Recommendation below.
