Page 2 of 3 <br />July 13, 1987 <br />taken together, aa a subatandard unbuildable lot unless variances aro <br />granted. In fact, in a paat aide aetback variance application on file, the <br />property la repreaented to the City aa being one lot Including Lota 55 thru <br />61. <br />Bxcluaion of Lot 57 from 55 and 56 would leave your homestead parcel <br />at 0.58 acres, a substandard lot, and would give Lots 57 thru 61 a total of <br />0.85 dry acres, meeting the 80% area requirement and becoming a <br />aubstantially conforming lot at the expense of your property^ however. <br />Inclusion of Lot 57 with 58 thru 61 violates the Intent of section 10.03 <br />Subdivision 6 (A) (1) because It reduces the Record Lot containing Lots 55*- <br />56-57 to a substandard size. <br />Staff believes that since all previous building permits were Issued <br />under the reliance that 1) the property in total contained 1.43 acres dry <br />land and 2) the combination of Lota 5S-56-57 contained In excess of the <br />0.80 acre required to be a bulldable lot, that It would be contrary to the <br />intent of the sonlng code to allow Lot 57 to bo detached from Lots 55 and <br />56. Lots 55-56-57 should remain aa a substantially conforming 0.80 acre <br />building sltei Lots 58 thru 61 would then have to bo subject to a variance <br />process If there was any Intent to use them as a building alto, and would <br />bo approved or disapproved on their own merit. <br />Staff believes that based on the location of the designated wetland <br />within the central portion of Lota 58 thru Cl, that this would like]y bo <br />denied as building site, although that question ultimately is a City <br />Council decision. Staff feels that inclusion of Lot 57 with Lots 56 thru <br />61 will not have an appreciable effect on their usability for a building <br />site, that 57 thru 61 would still be an extremely marginal buildi.*'.g site n'; <br />best. <br />Staff will not, therefore, support a proposal to divide Lots 55 and 56 <br />from Lot 57. <br />Tho following are your options as we see them; <br />1) Apply for a Class 1 Subdivision to split Lot 57 from 55 and 56. <br />2) Purchase or acquire Lot 57 from Mr. Touve. Note that In addition, <br />staff recommends that all of Lots 55 thru 61 be combined aa one <br />property. <br />3) Do nothing, continue to pay taxes on land you do not own, and <br />danlad any building parmits you may apply for.. <br />Pleaaa contact ma as to how you wish to proceed
