LA19-000101 AL AZAD,200 BEDERWOOD DRIVE,VARIANCE,6:38 P.M.-7:17 P.M. <br /> Staff presented a summary of packet information. <br /> Gettman asked if there was any history of how the applicant ended up with the two irregular lots. <br /> Oakden said she is not sure how the lots were created. They have been in existence for some time, and <br /> over time he acquired both of them. <br /> Gettman asked whether the applicant purchased both lots at the same time. <br /> Oakden said she is not sure if he bought both lots at the same time or if he bought one and then the other. <br /> Gettman asked if Staff knew anything about the segregation of part of the lots to create this weird setup. <br /> Oakden indicated the lots have been existing as separate parcels for a long time. The applicant did not <br /> create the lots.He is trying to establish a driveway easement to serve the back lot.The back lot is two <br /> acres in size and conforming in area but the other lot is not. <br /> Erickson noted some of the lots of record were established many years ago, long before many ordinances <br /> came into effect. <br /> Vice-Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 6:42 p.m. <br /> Jeff and Renee Mueller, 222 Bederwood,have lived there over 35 years.Mr. Mueller indicated the <br /> property was bought at one time.

When Gustafson had the property,he got the sewer for his house and the existing lot. The <br /> other lot was too small to build on so it was added to that other lot. When the sewer came in, it went <br /> parallel to where the driveway is. His house and their house are both serviced on the back side because it's <br /> up on a hill.He asked who would be responsible for repairing the sewer line if a driveway is put in and <br /> through the construction the sewer line gets damaged or freezes. He does not want to find out a year later <br /> that his sewer line is broken and now there is a blacktop driveway there. <br /> Ms. Mueller said initially there was a driveway established through that property that was closer to the <br /> house and there was a culvert put in across the creek for access to the back lot.Now it looks like the <br /> Page 2 of 14 <br />
