Replat of Lots 1-4, Lori Anne Acres: Lori Ann Acres is the Quadraplex development between Fairfax and Moss Road. There are a total of 16 lots on either side of Lori Ann Lane. We have a request from the owner of four lots to replat them into four lots each down the common wall of a quadraplex unit on each lot. The buildings were constructed according to the building code requirements for fee simple ownership and we have a precedent for this type of lot division in the Highlands and in Tuscawilla. The only additional complication is that there is a common driveway between Lots 1 and 2 and Lots 3 and 4 and also parking is to the rear of the existing quadraplex unit so that we needed to verify that the buyer of the fee simple lots that were separated from the driveway would have full access to the rear of their property to park. We do recommend approval of the concept of re- platting four lots according to this proposal. Motion was made by Commissioner Linville to approve the replat of Lori Anne Acres Lots 1-4 contingent upon the dedication of such access easements on the record plat.
