MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MARCH 18, 1985. PAGE 3 0895 T.M. CROSBY Mr. Crosby explained they wish to acquire additional property because their lot is very small and the added property would be used for a dock and protection. Assistant 'Zoning Administrator Gaffron asked for Zoning Administrator Mabusth's comments on takinq a lot of over 2 acres (in a 2 acre zone) and t-reaking it down to a smaller 'ot and making the adijcent lot larger, thus making two subbtandard lots. Zoning Adminisrator Mabusth explained this is an acceptable procedure as long as no harm is dor►e to the original lot that you are taking land from, and if you are improving a substandard condition. There would be no new lot created or an unbuildable to in an unsewered area. The septic testing has been done and found to meet al I rural standards. Thus if you are assured you have a buildable lot you may rearrange lOt lines to improve the substandard lots. Goetten stated her concern that by doing this you would be in a sense granting a variance on the newly created substandard lot. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the fact remains that you are improving a smaller lot building envelope and still not making the larger lot non - buildable. Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron explained that the f loodpljin area on the Pillsbury lot below 931.5 can't be filled or ex vated without Council approval. Further study bhould be done on this area to tell if filling would be a problem. If a house is proposed to be built in this area, (encroaching or the I loodplain), then a review would have to be do• Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated that by approving this lot line rearrangement you are pushing the building envelope on the Pillsbury lot further south, thus encroachinq onto the floodplain. For future building a conditional use permit or variance would he needed. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the DNR would have to approve any fill within the f loodplain. Chairman Callahan reviewed the point that since you are taking away the highland on the Pi l lst,ury lot, you are essentially forcing the futures house to build iri the f loodriain, whereas if the land wort left as it s there would be no proth 1 em.
