\ ' <br />NINUTES OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD OCTOBER 17, 1983 PAGE 2 <br />#761 DOUGLAS SMITH Goetten noted that the common ownership issue must be <br />dealt with before considering the variance request. <br />Goetten stated that if this lot was single separate <br />ownership that the variance request would be <br />reasonable and would not have a negative effect on the <br />existing neighborhood. <br />Callahan agreed that the lot isbuildable if the common <br />ownership issue was solved. <br />Sime stated that when the owner purchased the lot the <br />common ownership wasn’t a problem and the owner wasn* t <br />able to foresee the common ownership in the future. <br />Mabusth stated that Smith purchased the lot from <br />Tuthill in 1977 and that the common ownership was in <br />effect at the time of sale. <br />Rovegno noted that if the common ownership hadn* t been <br />a problem that the application probably wouldn’t have <br />any trouble receiving variance approval. <br />Adams moved to approve a variance request made by <br />Douglas Smith based on the 100% standards with a lot <br />area variance of 5,032 sf or 23% lot area and lot width <br />45% based on the following findings; <br />1. No available land - lots are developed on both <br />sides. <br />2. Sewer and water are available. <br />3. House and improvements to be constructed without <br />need for additional variances. <br />4.Applicant purchased property not knowing that the <br />ordinance limitations on development of Lot 18. <br />5.Variance being granted despite the common <br />ownership issue. <br />6.By granting this variance there will be no <br />negative effect on the public health, safety and <br />welfare. <br />7.By granting this variance it is consistent with <br />the development of the area. <br />8.By granting this variance there should be no need <br />for future hardcover and setback variances. <br />9.Planning Commission would like to note that the <br />garage is a non conforming structure and subject <br />to all pertinent ordinances. <br />10.The special conditions applying to the structure <br />of land in question are peculiar to such property <br />or immediately adjoining property.
