The existing house, well, <br />and septic system are contained within the two easterly parcels <br />totaling 1.01 acres. The two westerly parcels are 1.04 and 0.85 <br />acres respectively. The applicant wishes to obtain a building <br />permit for the 1.04 acre lot. <br />In staff's preliminary review of this request by the appli­ <br />cant, it was clear that the application was nearly indentical to <br />the request of Alden Anderson on Shoreline Drive in 1981, which <br />was effectively denied before it was withdrawn. Based on the <br />Alden Anderson denial, staff felt Council would likely not <br />grant a variance for the Ferrell application. Rather than force <br />the applicant to spend extreme amounts cf money for the full <br />variance application, soil testing, survey work, etc. only to be <br />denied, staff felt obligated to advise the applicant to submit a <br />zoning appeal application with $100.00 fee. <br />Please review my memo to Planning Commission of 4/8/85 and <br />the Planning Commission minutes, and the exhibits. Note that the <br />informal consensus of the Planning Commission was that at most <br />the applicant might be allowed one building site by combining <br />Lots 7 and 8 for a total of 1.89 acres, leaving the existing <br />house on 1.01 acres. <br />Please advise the applicant whether or not you will consider <br />granting a variance to the rural common ownership section of the <br />code.
