The Henrich's live at 4125 <br />Highwood Road, in their existi,.y home on Lots 20 and 21 (combined). <br />They purchased Lot 19 (4115 Highwood) with a small cabin it in <br />1953, but never combined it with their homestead. The cabin <br />eventually fell into disrepair, and was razed in .375. Applicants <br />state that they have always planned to built: on this lot. <br />This is a common ownership sit,.ation, and City policy since 1994 <br />allows us to accept applications for separation of commonly owned <br />lots, and review them on their own merits. However, we must also look <br />at the historical usage of the property and how a separation will <br />affect the adaceni commonly ownAd property, and how the property fit - <br />into the neighborhood. in ' his case, the• applicants own Lots 20 and <br />21 totaling 0.46 acres, ant, it 19 of 0.15 icrws, for a total of 0.65 <br />acres commo-ly owned in this 1-acre zoning district. Separation would <br />take 1 substan It commonly owned property and create 2 even more <br />substandard l of t .. %)m i t , clearly r:At the intent of t►ie Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />Additional tarts which may help you in for. .lating .a <br />rccurturlrndation to the city Council include: <br />
