(#6) #2461 CHRIS PIERSON, ON BEHALF OF BRYSONS/JOHNSONS, 650,660,670,680 ^ BID ISLAND, LOT UNE REARRANGEMENT, 8:03 p.m. - 8:22 p.m. Chris Pierson, on behalf of the Applicants, was present. Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting a lot line rearamgement and lot combination for lots located at 650^0-670-680 Big Island. The lots are currently three separate seasonal residences on four tax parcels that are to be combined Into two parcels. The Applicants are proposing to combine Lots 3,4 and one-half of Lot 5 to create one tax parcel on Big Island, and the center lot would be split and added to the 650 lot. Weinberger remarked the main issues to address would be the future of the existing cabin located on Lot 5. Fire Code does not allow a structure to exist this close to the property line. There are also exists some zonir^ code requirements which would require variances to be granted to allow a residence to be located this close to a lot line, and a conditional use permit would be necessary to allow a guest cabin. Currently City Code does not allow two principal residences to be located Page 7
