SUBDIVISIONS:
PC-07~2000/H1NKLE SUBDIVISION (2120 WHITE OAK)
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, introduced the case, Hinkle Subdivision. She said that the petitioner
would like to subdivide the existing lot and create a two-lot subdivision at the northwest comer of White
Oak and Prairie. She said that the petitioner created the lot sizes based on the existing house remaining
and having it meet current zoning setbacks, while still being able to construct a house on the proposed
second lot that would be consistent with current development trends. Ms. Connolly said that the
petitioner is not seeking relief from Development Code requirements or Zoning regulations. She said that
the plat was prepared in accordance with Development code requirements. Therefore, Staff recommends
approval of the Hinkle Subdivision.
Chairman Zadel asked the petitioner to present his request. Guiseppe Stanfa said that he purchased the lot
with his brother-in-law and that they wanted to build a new house on the second lot and after researching
Village codes and regulations concerning the plat and future development, had prepared the plat
according to Village codes. Guiseppe Aiello added that he is a contractor and was involved with the
construction of the two new houses along Prairie. Plan Comufission members asked about the
topography of the site and how the existing swale, combined with a new house, would impact the adjacent
houses. Mr. Aiello said that the swale is on the lot adjacent to the 2120 property and that there would be
minimal impact on the neighborhood. There was further discussion that clarified the location of the
property lines.
Chairman Zadel asked if there were any other questions or discussion. As there was none, Gary
Grouwinkle moved to approve the Hinkle Subchvision and Ed Janus seconded the motion. The plat was
approved 5-0.

represents the petitioner, Metro Federal Credit Union, and that his client just closed on the property. He
said that the site would provide storm water detention as reqtfired by the Development Code and that all
other Village requirements will be met. There was discussion about how the parcel was originally created

of two lots of record and that the patio and part of the house were built over the lot line. She said that the
petitioner was required to meet applicable Village codes when he replaced an existing patio and in order
to do so, was required to consolidate the separate lots of record. She said that the Franzen's

regulations. She said that the plat was prepared in accordance with Development Code requirements and

code regulations. Chairman Zadel said that the case was clear-cut and more of a "housekeeping" issue.

Grouwinkle moved to approve the Franzen's Resubdivision and Matt Sledz seconded the motion. The
