Kevin, the Dutton Island Road property has never had a Comprehensive Plan density
designation of Residential, Medium Density. It has been designated as Residential, Low
Density since 1990. The March 08, 2004 letter from me that you faxed is for property on
Orchid Street, which is Residential, Medium Density. The Zoning Information table you also
faxed clearly states: Two-family uses are also subject to the Comprehensive Plan Density
limits. No one in any department in the City would have told you that a new duplex could have
been built anywhere unless it met the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and the below
RG-1 district Lot Area requirements. (and these are not new regulations)
(1) Lot Size in the RG-1 and RG-1A Zoning Districts:
i. Single-family Dwellings: 5,000 square feet.
ii. Two-family (duplex) Dwelling or Townhouse:
Lands designated as Low Density by the Future Land Use Map: 14,500 square feet
Lands designated as Medium Density by the Future Land Use Map: 6,200 square feet
Lands designated as High Density by the Future Land Use Map: 5000 square feet
