Zoning File 41090 February 3, 1987 Page 2 of 4 D. Septic sites, primary and alternate, have been tested and are suitable for the main residence on Lot 1 and the farm house on Lot 2. Septic testing to provide an alternate site for the requested guest house on Lot 1 has not been provided. E. Both lots meet the 2-acre minimum for a single residence. There was a question whether Lot 1 should be required to have 200' of width on County Road 6, given that it actually fronts and accesses to Hollander Road where it meets the 200' width standard. Planning Commission felt that it doesn't need the 200' at County Road 6 as long as it is not technically a "through" lot. Technically, then, a variance for lot width on the public road should be granted. F. Lot 1 is proposed to keep the existing rental house as strictly a guest house. Since Lot 1 does not have the width or area required under the guest house standards, Planning Commission recommended that it be removed. In further discussions with the City Attorney on this, the City may not have the authority to require its removal, but can limit the use to storage only (plumbing removed). (See further discussion on this below.) Also note the need for a 0.71' front setback variance for the ting farmhouse on Lot 2, and note that the existing barns on Lot 2 are oversize (non -conforming) accessory structures which may remain if not found to be hazardous; these may not be used for animal housing. Building Inspector, Tom Jacobs, is currently reviewing the condition of these barns. G. Discussion occurred on whether Lot 1 is subject to a conditional use permit for any proposed accessory structures given that it might be a "through" lot. Since technically it is not a through lot, no conditional use permit is required, however, Planning Commission felt that for locating such structures, Hollander Road is the "front" and County Road 6 is the rear, and no accessory structures should be closer than 50' to County Road 6. By the same token, accessory structures on Lot 2 should be at least 50' from both roadways and behind the front lines of the existing house (or behind the front lines of any replacement house). Further Discussion of Guest Bouse Use on Lot 1: Given the above, the sole remaining issue is what should be done with the second house on Lot 1. Per City Planner Alan Olson's memo of 7/18/78, Olson notes the original property contained 2 existinq parcels (see original plat map). He notes that the eastern parcel includes 2 existing houses (rental and farm house). He notes that the proposal shows 2 houses on proposed "Lot 5". the rental and the new Hollander residence. He notes that this should be addressed by the Planning Commission at the sketch plan stage (to be held 7/24/78). He noted that the alternatives for the second house were:
