As far as existing lots of record, it stated as follows: 31.201. Existing I^ots. A lot of record existing upon January 1, 1975 (the effective date of the Zoning Code) under single separate ownership in an •R* District, which does not meet the re quirements of the Zoning Code as to area or width may be utilized for a single family detached dwelling purpose provided that in the judg ment of the Coundil such use does not adversely affect public health or safety and the foll<^ving requirements are met: 31.203. In ■R* districts of Greater Than One Acre. A lot of record in any "R" District in the City in excess of one acre, which does not meet the requirements of this Zoning Code as to area or width only, may be utilized for single family detached dwelling purposes if the Council finds: (1) it is at least one acre i*i size, and the average width of the lot is at least 100 feet; and (2) it is either served by public sanitary sewer or meets all the septic system requirements of the City or other governmental body; and (3) it otherwise mets the requirements of this or other applicable ordinances. Under the 1974 Code, the Council at their option could have granted a lot area variance for a lot of single separate ownership, but the Code again did not specifically discuss the standards for the separation of commonly owned lots. The general City policy, as evidenced by the outcome of at least cae typical zoning application in 1981 was that unsewered adjacent lots owned in common could not be considered buildable and could not be separated unless each resulting lot or combination of lots included the required acreage in that zoning district. Upon recodification in 10tf4 tnc Zoning Code was amended to include the following Section 10.03, Subdivision 6 (C): C. The separation by the transfer or sale of non-conforming, un developed lots not served by public sanitary sewer, aligned in a contiguous arrangement, undivided by a public or private^ road cr road easement and under same or common ownership is not permitted without Council approval. Council approval is not required if the separation of such lots results in individual building sites that satisfy the area and width requirements of the Zoning Chapter. mmmmmm •.vi P Zoning Fi November Page 4 of Staf be prohib either oi creating appeared variance been turn direction dollar an fees, etc was that allow one Appl be dedal provided could in all sites applican house, nc alternate the "noti refuses t two vacan notice of Two 1. pern appr 2. i. e. zone The lots in i and are benefit c which pre We £ parcels separatee value, s Perhaps 1 lots wen until 19 same as f separate T
