LAND USE APPLICATION - LOT DIVISION
3701-3709-3717 VERA CRUZ AVENUE NORTH
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
7:00 P.M. MONDAY, MAY 11, 2015
CRYSTAL CITY HALL (4141 DOUGLAS DR N)
James R. Truax/Truax Real Estate LLC (Truax) owns three lots at 3701, 3709 and 3717 Vera
Cruz Avenue North. Each lot is 80 feet wide for a total width of 240 feet. Each lot has an
existing single family home. Truax proposes to split the middle lot (3709) in half. The south
half of 3709 would be added to the lot at 3701, and the north half of 3709 would be added to
the lot at 3717. This would create two 120 -foot -wide lots, each containing 15,357 sq. ft.
Truax would demolish the three existing homes and build a new two family dwelling on
each of the two 120 -foot -wide lots. (Two family dwellings are also known as twin homes,
duplexes or double bungalows.) The property is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential and two
family dwellings are permitted on each of the proposed lots because the lots would be more
than 100 feet wide and contain more than 15,000 sq. ft.
