Summary
A developer wants to split a 100-foot-wide lot into two buildable parcels, but two accessory-structure foundations already sit at the rear of the property. City code generally forbids building accessory structures before the main house, so the commission has to decide how to treat the existing foundations before the split can move forward.

Impact analysis
A flood hazard permit would be required for each newly created lot, and construction permits are on hold until the split is approved and parcel numbers assigned.
The property owner and future residents of the two new homes would benefit if the split is approved.
Neighbors could be left with nonconforming lots if the developer abandons construction after the split is approved.
