Gaffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator <br />Date:September 8, 1988 <br />Subject: #990 Ward Ferrell, 3405 Watertown Road - <br />Variance - Continued Review <br />NOTE: Per the letter dated August 4, 1988, Mr. Ferrell has requested that <br />the City re-open File #990, a lot area and width variance application. <br />This was last reviewed by the City Council on May 26, 1987. <br />Idat of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Letter From Applicant Dated 8/4/88 <br />Exhibit B - Staff Letter to Applicant Dated 8/9/88 <br />Exhibit C - Plat Map <br />Exhibit D - Survey Staff Notations <br />Exhibit E - Current Applicable Code Sectif^n <br />Exhibit F - Planning Commission & Council Minutes <br />Exhibit G - Various Pertinent Staff Memos & Exhibits <br />Discussion - <br />Mr. Ferrell originally requested to be able to build a house on each <br />of the two approximately 1 acre lots he owns adjacent to his home, which <br />also is on a 1 acre lot. This property all is in the RR-IB Rural <br />Residential Zoning District, which requires a minimum 2 acre lot size for a <br />building site. <br />On February 18, 1986, the Planni '».g Commission voted 5-0 to recommend <br />denial of 3 total residences on the applicant's 3 acres, but recommended <br />approval of allowing 1 additional house on the 3 acres. That <br />recommendation did not clarify whether a lot line rearrangement would be <br />appropriate. <br />Ferrell continued his 3-total-house request at Council level and <br />on April 14, 1986 Council directed staff to draft a re'jolaticn of denial by <br />a vote of 4-1. Although that resolution was drafted, ir w?s never formally <br />adopted and was tabled at applicant's request. The item was opened ag^’in <br />in May of 1987 at applicant's request, discussion ensued, and it was again <br />tabled at applicant's request. <br />L. Ji.t rr-.
