New Lot 13 is 54,416 square feet in size (1.249 acres) and new Lot 14 is 54,335 square feet in size (1.247 acres). The subject property is located at 6101 E. Caballo Lane.

The owner is now proposing to split the lot back into two separate parcels. However, the proposed lots will deviate from the code standard which requires a 165' diameter circle to touch the front setback line at a single point for each lot.
