At <br />the end of the meeting, Hannah moved to table the <br />application as the applicant was still not present <br />to answer questions. Motion seconded by Hurr. <br />Vote: Ayes (^5), Nays (0), ^McDonald had left <br />earlier.) <br />WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB <br />200 Wayzata Blvd. <br />SUBDIVISION/REZONINGi <br />VARIANCE <br />(#440) <br />.•s <br />Mr. and Mrs. Watson were present. Mr. Watson <br />stated their reasons for the request, referred <br />to their letter of March 6, 1979 and showed <br />several photos of the lot. They also presented <br />a petition (see Page 4A) with neighbors signatures <br />supporting their request. It was stated that many <br />lots in the area are smaller than this proposed <br />lot. The property is sewered and has always been <br />a separate tax parcel. <br />ROBERT WATSON <br />2785 Shadywood Road ! <br />VARIANCE <br />(#462) <br />Wilson moved to recommend approval of the variance <br />for lot area and width on the hardship of no other <br />land being available, the length of ownership, and <br />reliance that it was a buildable lot when purchased, <br />contingent on: <br />1. Staff checking if there would be a sewer <br />assessment requirement. <br />2. No building variances will be granted. <br />Motion seconded by Hannah. Vote: Ayes (5), Nays (0), <br />Abstained (1) Hurr: Feels need for clarification of <br />policy concerning common ownership of substandard lots. <br />This action is not consistent with my understanding of <br />the law - this lot lacks 140* width (103* lakeshore) but <br />is somewhat consistent with the neighborhood. The <br />Planning Commission has not been consistent in this area <br />with variances for lot sizes, for example: Chapman (#428) <br />with 117* lakeshore and just under one acre.
