JCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS - 7:00 P.M. (#8)N|(01-2696 MICIUEL P. AND JEANNINE B. BADEN, AND 11. WESLEY AND ELI2U^TH L, WOLVERTON, 3420 AND 3445 HIGH LANE, REARR.ANGE.ME.NT OF COMMON^OPERTY LINES, 7:35 p.m. - 7:46 p.m. Michael P. and Jeat^ne B. Baden and H. Wesley and Elizabeth L. Wolverton. the property ovsners. were present. The Certificate of Mailing and\ffidavit of Publication w ere noted. Weinberger explained that the applicates have proposed a lot line rearrangement between the two properties for the purpose of creating a sp^e on the Badens property, 3445 High Lake, that would allow for future construction of a detached ga^ce. The Badens have explored various options for locating the garage but have been unable to find agitable location that works within the existing driveway. A private driveway serves both propertiesNuth private easements recorded on the property titles. The north lot at 3420 High Lane is 1.95 obtes, just short of the two acre minimum. The south lot at 3445 High Lane is l.l acre, The proposed n^property line would change each property by about one-tenth of an acre, making the north lot one^th of an acre smaller and the south lot one-tenth acre larger. The transfer of property creates an arba in the northwest comer of the south lot where a garage could be built A 20* drop in elevation limits thb>option to place a garage behind tiie house. Historically, the parking area for the south lot has been atW end of High Lane and it makes sense to place the garage in that area. No variances vvould be requm^ for new garage construction because the new property line changes the definition of the front properVy^line. The new- front property line would be narrower and require only a 10' setback. PAGE 9
