Mr. John Kelly

Requested Actions: Site Plan, Subdivision, Certificate of Appropriateness
Project Attributes
Address: 9865 W. 144th Street
P.I.N.(s): 27-09-211-001 and -006
Existing Zoning: Old Orland Historic District
Comprehensive Plan designation: Single Family Residential
OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
Kelly Grove subdivision (case number 2012-0690) was approved in 2013 as a three (3) lot subdivision. Kelly Grove required the demolition of a 128 year old single family home in order to subdivide two preexisting lots into three and make way for three new homes, of which only one has been built to date.
The petitioner proposes to acquire 9865 144th Street first and re-subdivide the lots of Kelly Grove to balance Lot 1’s width with the proposed width of Lot 4 (subject parcel). This will make 9865 144th Street wider and buildable and eliminates the 2013 variance to exceed maximum lot width for Lot 1 of Kelly Grove. With the balance complete, the petitioner anticipates development of Lot 1 to follow the house proposed for 9865 W. 144th Street.
Existing House
In 2008, the Residential Area Intensity Survey (historic building survey) identified the existing structure on the subject property as being in good condition with medium integrity. Since the recession, the structure has fallen into significant disrepair. While the survey indicates that the house contributes to the Old Orland Historic District, it is not recognized as an official contributing structure/ landmark by Section 6-209 or Section 5-110 of the Land Development Code.
The proposed subdivision requires the demolition of the existing 115 year old home in order to re-subdivide and adjust lot lines to balance the lots on the block.
The petitioner has noted that the proposed new home will echo the same style as the home it is replacing.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION & CONTEXT
The proposed site and subdivision plan proposes to add Lot 4 to the three lot Kelly Grove subdivision from 2013. To do this, the petitioner is adjusting the lot lines to balance the lot widths between Lots 1 and 4 (thereby eliminating the outlots) and extend Lot 3 from Third Avenue west to Second Avenue. Having secured the development potential for Lot 4 in this manner, Lot 1 will follow with another house in the future, and Lot 3 after that.
The petitioner is proposing a bungalow style house to replace the one that is proposed for demolition. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required to construct a new house, which will be reviewed concurrently with this subdivision.
The petitioner does not request any variances to complete this project. A variance from 2013 is eliminated for Lot 1 as a result of this project.
The recommendation motion includes the following conditions:
1) Use wood as the primary material for all vertical porch elements (railings, balusters, posts etc.).
2) Mitigate the single evergreen parkway tree if it is necessary to remove it.
Overall, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Codes and policies for this area.
Additional details about the project are discussed in the Plan Commission report, which is attached for reference.
The plans and drawings for this project have been provided in hard copy only.
