Addition"; and

Residential (R1); and

alley behind the single family home. Subdividing this lot does not create any additional non-
conforming structures or lots within the current zoning district; and
WHEREAS, City Staff have reviewed the proposed Thomas Replat 2018 Addition, and
recommend the property owner install additional protection around the electrical pedestal that
services Lots 14 and 15B ; and •
