Purpose. This application is regarding a variance and a preliminary plat for a subdivision <br />resulting in one nonconforming lot. <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on July 19; and was <br />considered as complete on July 31, 2017. Therefore, the 60 -Day review period expires on <br />September 29, 2017. <br />Background. The subject property is a 1.83 acre lot within the LR -113 zoning district.

Planning Commission Comment. On August 21, the Planning Commission held a public hearing <br />and reviewed the application. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 7 to 0 in favor <br />of a motion to deny the variance. <br />Public Comment. No additional comments from the public were received regarding this <br />application. <br />6. Staff Recommendation.
