To: Planning Commission From: Michael P.

A thorough review of the RS Zoning District regulations reveals that when owned in common with the adjacent Lots 6, 7 and 8, Lot C cannot by code be a separate record lot (see Section 10.31, Subdivision 6 (A), attached}. The original intent in creating record lots in the RS Zoning District was to recognize existing ownership and usage patterns. Lots 6, 7 & 8 were historically owned by the applicants (Eugene Nelson's) sister; Lot C was owned by his mother~ a cabin exists only on Lot C but Lots 6, 7 & 8 were used as access to Lot C. Both former City Planner, Alan Olson and the Nelson family members apparently agreed that the historical pattern of use was as a single lot, and in fact that is how the applicant is selling it to Mr. Smedberg. But Section 10.31 Subdivision 6 (A) clearly states that when contiguous properties become commonly owned, they by definition are thenceforth considered as a single record lot. To quickly capsulize for you the process that was followed when the RS District was created: 1. The record lot determination, including which parcels are included in each record lot, became part of the ordinance creating the zoning district. 1
