Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator <br />Date:May 29, 1987 <br />Subject: #990 Ward Ferrell 3405 Watertown Road - <br />Variances - Denial Resolution <br />Met of Bzhibits <br />Please refer to your information packet from the last meeting. <br />Additional Exhibits: <br />Exhibit A - Information/Surveys Submitted by Applicant at <br />5/26/87 Meeting <br />1) Swan Lake Plat - Mills New Subdivision <br />2) 900 North Bro%m Road <br />3) 1925 West Farm Road <br />Exhibit B - Denial Resolution as Drafted With Exhibit "A" <br />(Sketch of Properties in Question) <br />Discussion - <br />2. Cases/situations that applicant feels are similar. <br />The applicant, at your May 26 meeting, suggested that there are many <br />cases similar to his that the City has approved. In fact, because the <br />prime differentiating factor is common ownership, none of the cases he <br />brought up are similar: <br />A) Swan Lake Addition - specifically William Mills* Jr. plat - this <br />is a recent plat (1985"*86} which divided Lot 7 into twi.> lots each of <br />which contains two dry buildable acres exclusive of the lake/pond <br />area. This plat has absolutely no similarity to what Ferrell is <br />requesting. Note that the City has granted variances for <br />individual, pre-existing, separately owned substandard lots in the <br />Swan Lake Addition. The key is separately o%cied. <br />B) 900 North Brown Road - this lot was created as part of the plat <br />"Farm at Long Lake" in 1978 under current zoning standards. The lot <br />900 North Brown Road contains about 2.1 dry acre? ' r!: total, but of <br />which only 0.9 acres is outside of an extensive drai^rae easement on <br />the property. This lot was in separate ownership, wa& created under <br />current lot area codes and obviously was not considered as being a <br />substandard lot when created, as long as any house proposed to be <br />on it could meet the City's septic concerns (primary and <br />alternate site) and setbacks, which it does. <br />(NOTE that at that time in 1978, the City did not exclude drainage <br />easement area from the dry buildable. Now we do.) <br />Tli!; 'W
