Project Description
The applicant is requesting to amend the original plat to decrease the depth of the five (5) lots
along the canal by approximately fifteen (15’) feet to accommodate the adjacent canal
easement. This adjustment will prevent easement issues between future owners and the canal
and makes the Summerfield Division 10, Summerfield Division 11, Summerfield Division 12, and
Summerfield Division 13 borders consistent.
The property is zoned as Low Density Residential 2 (LDR2). The Comprehensive Plan
designation is Low Residential.
The current zoning of Low Density Residential 2 (LDR2) allows for a maximum density of six (6)
units per acre, consisting of detached single-family homes, or a maximum of two (2) attached
single-family homes (a duplex or twin home). The modified lots meet the minimum square
footage requirements of the zone.
