The original intent in <br />creating record lots in the RS Zoning District was to recognize <br />existing ownership and usage patterns. Lots 6, 7 & 8 were <br />historically owned by the applicants (Eugene Nelsons) sister; <br />Lot C was owned by hi s mother; a cabin exists only on Lot C but <br />Lots 6, 7 & 8 were used as access to Lot C. Both former Ci.ty <br />Planner, Alan Olson and the Nelson family members apparently <br />agreed that the historical pattern of use was as a single lot, <br />and in fact that is how the applicant is selling it to Mr. <br />Smedberg. But Section 10.31 Subdivision 6 (A) clearly states <br />that when contiguous properties become commonly owned, they by <br />definition are thenceforth considered as a single record lot. <br />To quickly capsulize for you tht_ process that was followed <br />when the RS District was created: <br />1. The record lot determination, including which pa. ,els <br />are included in each record lot, became part of the <br />ordinance creating the zoning district. <br />
