� , �eptember 28 , 1983 Page 2 Re : Roy Ahern She asked about all the various development options available including combination of Lots 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 into one buildable piece and Lots 65 and 65 into a second buildable piece. She was advised at that time to have Mr. Ahern make a formal variance request of the City for that possibility so that the Planning Commission and Council could decide the question . ��y letter to Mr . Ahern dated May 16 , 1983 (enclosed) relates that conversation and goes on to list all the options available to him under the new ordinance . At no time , either in Ordinance #246 or otherwise, has the City ever said that Mr . Ahern could not sell each of the six parcels separately �� you now state he has done . What the ordinance does say is that by �eparating these lots they will each fall into the cateqory of a vacant, unbuildable parcel that can only be used for seasonal-recreational use of land without structures just like seven other similar properties on the island. I think Mr . Ahern and/or the other individuals involved could work together and with the City to remove the deteriorated structure now on Lots 64 and 65 and to combine the various lots into one and perhaps even two good building sites in keeping with the way they have been owned and used in the past and with the intent of the new zoning ordinance . As to the question of "a takinq" which you raise, please remember that these six lots were never individually buildable , at least not since the 1967 or 1974 zoning codes became effective long before Ahern purchased the nroperty; that the four inland lots are not accessible to the lake except throuah the front lots; that the four inland lots together total about 1 . 7 acres which did not meet the minimum two acre requirement of the strictly enforced 1974 zoning; and that the cabin on Lots 64 and 65 is not in a habitable condition and requires substantial structural and sanitation improvements . This new ordinance has not change� any of these facts. So there you have it. This letter is saying exactly the same thing to Mr . Ahern that has been said in many public meetings and in other �neetings and calls between he and I since lastfall . The options a.re still open for him or any of the other individuals to pursue . �owever , these six lots will be unbuildable and the City staff will not be in a position to issue any building permits or other approvals c.;zless one of two things happens: Either l . All six lots are combine� as per Ordinance #246 ; or 2 . A formal variance application is made to the City and the Planning Commission and Council approve of something other than what Ordinance #246 already allows .
