Star Route, Box 431 Eagle River, Alaska 99577 Dear Mr. Metz: It has come to the attention of this departme~t that you may be in 'violation of the Greater Anchorage Area Borough Code of Ordinances Chapter 21, Section 21-5(G)(6) and Section 21-7(B)(2), regarding the sale of'tots in the Birch Tree Estates Subdivision. On August 23',' 1971 the Greater Anchorage Area Borough Assembly approved a subdivision plat submitted by you known as the "Birch Tree Estates" Subdivision. Precedent to this action by the asse.,mbly. they took action on July 19, 1971 to rezone the area in which the above described subdivision is located, from U (Unrestricted). to R-6 (Suburban Residential Large Lot). The R-6 Zoning District regulations in Section 21'-5(G)(6) of the Zoning Ordinance require a minimum lot area of (1 1/4) one and one quarter acres per dwelling unit. (i.e. At the time the Assembly approved your subdivision', each lot indicated on the plat became a nonconforming lot of record as none of them meet the minimum lot area requirement for the R-6 zoning dis tri ct. The Zoning Ordinance in Section 21-7(B)(2) (sets forth the criteria with regard to the disposition of nonconforming lots of record) as follows: "If two or more lots~ or'combinations of lotS'and ?ortions of lots with continuous frontage: in single ownership, are of record at the effective date of this ordinance which makes anZ or all of the existinq lots noncenformin~Z as to lot width or area, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel Mr. Ri chard Metz September 29, 1971 Page 2 for the purpeses of this ordinance, and no portion of'Said parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot area and width requirements established b~ this ordinance." (~ph. add) Therefore any subseo, uent sale of any parcel within yoL~r subdivision which is of a size less than that permitted in the R-6 zoning district (ioe. 1 1/4 acres per parcel) would constitute a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. I hope this information is of assistance to you. If you have any qLlestions regarding this matter, please feel free to call upon us at any time. Sincerely, . ~l~ .~_~ ..:-- ..'/ Har~YB.
