SKETCH PLAN REVIEWS (#12) #2436 BOB ERICKSON, 364/372 WEST LAKE STREET, LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT - SKETCH PLAN REVIEW, 11:45 p.m. - 12:10 p.m. Bob and Lisa Erickson was present. Weinberger stated the Applicant is proposing a lot line rearrangement for properties located at 364 and 372 Westlake Street. The proposed lot line rearrangement would create two substandard lots with the 364 lot being comprised of 1.6 acres and the 372 lot being comprised of 1.1 acres. The LR-1A zoning district requires two acres for each lot. Currently the 364 lot is comprised of .65 acre and the 372 lot is 2.01 acres. Weinberger remarked that 364 Westlake contains a non-conforming structure which the Applicant is proposing to remove as well as the existing structures on 372 Westlake. Both properties have been assessed for one sewer unit each with Lot 364 having been connected to sanitary sewer since 1994. Lot 362 was required to connect to sewer in 1995, but to date has not been. Staff is recommending that the Applicant maintain the 50 foot front lot line for the 364 property which would allow a movement of the lot line towards the lakeside of the property and make it a true lot line rearrangement. Weinberger noted with this lot line rearrangement it is being proposed to take the one conforming lot, Lot 372, and combine it with non-conforming Lot 364 to make two non-conforming lots. McMillan inquired whether a flag lot was being created. Weinberger stated a flag lot would be created under the definition of the code, which the zoning code does not allow. Weinberger remarked that if the 50 foot front lot line was maintained, then a flag lot would not be created because the lot line would change further back on the property. Van Zomeren noted this is a lot line rearrangement and not a subdivision, with access being kept the same. Variances for lot area may be required for a residence to be built on either lot. Van Zomeren stated a lot line rearrangement is a Class 1 Subdivision, which require Mylars to be filed at the County. Bob Erickson stated they may have reached a solution by leaving the existing 50 foot front lot line for the 364 property. The intent is to construct a residence on both lots. Erickson requested that • the Planning Commission approve the sketch plan as revised, keeping the 50 foot front lot line, which is not depicted on the diagram. Page 21
