I « h <2: TO: FROM; DATE: Walter R. Benson, City Administrator Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator January 3, 1984 SUBJECT:#761 - Douglas Smith - 3237 Casco Circle - Variance - Resolution At your November 14, 1983 meeting. Council directed staff to submit the following information: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The property (Lot 18) has never been assessed a sewer nor water unit. Review the enclosed "As-Built" plans. The lot was not assigned a water nor sewer stub connection. The original owner, McNeal, had a mortgage on all three lots. Tuthill paid off that mortgage in December, 1973. Lot 18 was sold to Doug Smith in 1977. Tuthill placed a new mortgage on Lots 16 & 17 in 1979. Both Tuthill and Smith have never initiated tax abatement proceedings on neither Tuthill's part for Lots 16, 17 & 18 nor on Smith's part for Lot 18. There is no record of a letter on file from Smith in regard to the buildability of Lot 18; only his comment on the face of the variance application that he purchased the lot from Tuthill in 1977 for the purpose of constructing a future home. If Council wishes to pursue the claim of the applicant that similar variances have been granted by the City, you may ask for that at your meeting of January 9, 1984. The information was not submitted by the applicant after the November 14, 1983 meeting, nor did staff pursue the followup response. I am sure the applicant would be able to cite these cases at your meeting and staff would be able to provide the background information if the subject applications were acted on within the last seven years. How does Lot 18 rank in regard to the other developed lots on Casco Circle? Based on staff's current survey of common ownership lots and undeveloped lots within the zoning districts. Lot 18 ranks as follows; Area - Lot 18 - 18,748 sq. ft. or 77% Width- Lot 18-55 ' or 55% Total Casco Point area -223 developed lot at 100% 57 or 26% are within 60%-80% of area required ■UMAli
