SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The applicant proposes a new duplex on the lot at 675 Moffat Street. The proposed duplex is two stories and has a basement, consisting of approximately 4,925 SF of living space in total. The plan also includes a detached garage structure that provides two parking spaces for each unit.
Site History and Prior Approvals
The Hunts First Addition to the Town of Erie Subdivision originally platted this property in 1923. In 1928, the Old Town Erie Subdivision Plat consolidated multiple Old Town areas into one Subdivision Plat.
The property is zoned Old Town Residential (OTR), which allows duplexes as a Special Review Use.
Special Review Use for 675 Moffat
The subject property is currently vacant. The proposed duplex use would add two residential units on a single lot. The duplex itself is similar in scale to nearby dwellings in terms of width, height, and square footage. The architectural design seeks compatibility with the neighborhood. The development meets the applicable design and development standards in the UDC, as well as the approval criteria for the SRU. The SRU and Site Plan went through two rounds of review and submittal. The associated Development Review Team (DRT) review materials are included in this packet.
The applicant’s next steps toward development of the property will include building permit application(s) as necessary.
