52 Lorraine minor lot split

Athens

Description

A developer wants to split a 100-foot lot into two so a second house can be built, but two accessory foundations already sit at the rear of the property. The commission tabled the question until November 4 and asked the developer to appear.

Impact summary

Could turn one house lot into two in an old R-1 neighborhood — more housing, if the accessory-building question gets sorted out.

Commissioners weighed code compliance against the city's push for more housing, and a resident urged them to make building easier, calling it 'gentle density.'
