Gustafson for many years. It is staffs understanding that Miriam Gustafson is a member of the original Coffee family that owned the majority of the properties within the area. In fact, prior to their recent move to Excelsior, the Gustafsons lived across the street at 1890 Shadywood Road. Staff remembers meeting with Mr. Gustafson a few years back to discuss what potential the property had in its present configuation. This would mean consideration of all seven lots combined as one unit. It should be noted that these lots were never legally combined, but remained single separate lots of record. It was staff's recommendation to file for the lot area variance as it appeared that parcel 0003 would have the greatest lot depth but without the necessary updated survey locating the present water line and county right-of-way it was difficult to give direction. At that time staff had no knowledge that Mr. Tillotsen's residence and driveway intersected the subject parcel, review Exhibit E. In fact, Mr. Tillotsen's dock is located on Tract F, the same tract that applicants have installed dock. Review Exhibit I. The applicants have advised that it is their understanding that Mr. Gustafson has some kind of arrangement with Mr. Til lot sen to sell the encroached parcel to him at some time in the future. Without the "OOOa* property, the property is clearly not a buildable lot, review staff sketch Exhibit H. There isnobuilding envelope and if the lot was deemed buildable, it would require the granting of multiple, excessive variances to all lakeshore ordinances. It is clearly not the intent or wishes of the present applicants to apply for the lot area variance. The recent county road acquisitions have placed even more restrictions on the building envelope. Planning Commission members will note the stakes of the additional right-of-way in relation to the subject property. Staff has advised the applicant that in order to make any decision on an accessory structure or use of the property that the bulldability of the lot must be resolved by the City. Please review the table listed below of recent lot area variances dealing with lakeshore properties similar to this one. *t t • * • ^ » • n-- ■ < • *
