area lots in a new subdivision. <br /> 9. On July 14, 1977 Johnson signed a request for legal combination of all 6 lots and Outlot A. <br /> The City subsequently relied on that combination to confirm that the building site met the <br /> 5-acre minimum lot area and 300'minimum lot width standards of the RR-1A zoning district, <br /> and that the proposed house location (see plat drawing with penned-in house location and <br /> 190'front setback dimension arrow)met the 100'front/rear and 50'side setback requirements. <br /> Although the house location and size penned into the above referenced drawing is clearly not <br /> to scale, said location clearly does not meet a side or front setback from Outlot A and would <br /> not have been approvable unless a combination was in effect. <br /> 10. Johnson probably would have been allowed to build the house at its proposed location had <br /> he merely combined enough parcels to create a 5-acre lot that would allow setbacks to be met <br /> by the proposed house. For unknown reasons,he combined all 7 parcels. City files contain <br /> no documentation of any discussions related to the combination which may or may not have <br /> occurred between Johnson and City staff. <br /> 11. The legal combination had the effect of eliminating any "grandfather" rights to buildability <br /> that the individual Mark One lots may have previously enjoyed. It is the City's position that <br /> the property currently consists of a single conforming tax parcel which, if it contains <br /> approximately 11 dry acres as indicated to the City, could likely be split to create a new 5- <br /> acre minimum lot, leaving the existing house on a 5-acre minimum lot. <br />
