We have been directed to go through the city because the proposed Tracts 3 and 6 do not have road frontage and will need to be combined with existing parcels that are currently in the city limits to meet the county and city requirements for road frontage. Those parcels are owned by Buckner and Little as shown on the attached plat. We are requesting waivers for several items listed in the Prattville Subdivision regulations as we feel they do not pertain to this parcel subdivision. Waiver requests are being made for the following: “Subdivision Regulations 4.6.3”-Parcels 3 and 6 to be joined with existing lots. Parcel 3 to be joined with a lot that has existing road frontage. Parcel 6 to be joined with a lot that has a deeded easement. Easement documentation is attached. “Subdivision Regulations 5.2.9”-Location of existing building not shown on the plat.
