PAGE <br />#820 LONIE eLSK Ad.ninistraLor Mil)usth showed the Council some pictures <br />with an exstirig house on the subject lot. <br />Garth Coller stated that in the Planning Commission <br />memo, the buildability of this lot will reduce the <br />danger of fire which is always the case with a vacant <br />l.ut. Coller stated that there is no other use for the <br />lot than residential. Cofer stated that the City has <br />granted in the past many variances in excess of the <br />amount granted here. Coller stated that the City has <br />consistently granted variances and n very rare <br />occasio-is denied variances. --oiler stated only three <br />variances have been denied since 1977 and are easily <br />Aist•inguishable. C.oller stated that the first <br />variance that was Denied was rural property. Coller <br />stated that Council's own City staff has stated that <br />rural property is very distinct issue from the Fisk lot <br />and is much easier to deny a variance in rural property. <br />Coller stated that Home Builders was a conceptual <br />denial and in this case there were problems wit}; the <br />shape of the lut, lakeshore setback problem, and an <br />unbuildable building envelope ani would need <br />additional setback variances. Coiler stated that <br />that variance is beyond a lot area and lot width <br />variance. Coiler stated that the third var'ince that <br />was denied was reflected as a non -buildable lot, had no <br />sewer unit assessed, unbuildable envelope, and <br />lakeshore setback problems.
