He noted the DNR does not require <br />any setback from the Luce Line. He also explained that when <br />doing the Stubbs Bay Study, the City looked at all properties <br />with the potential for a building, and assigned a proposed sewer <br />unit. If they are assessed a sewer unit, it does not guarantee <br />that the lot is buildable and it would still have to go through <br />the variance process if needed. He noted that if the variance <br />were to be denied, money might be refunded for the non — buildable <br />lot. <br />Johnson noted that he is not opposed to the lot area <br />variance, but is opposed to the creation of a substandard lot and <br />adding questionable septic sites. He felt they should wait until <br />the sewer project has been approved. <br />Rowlette agreed with the septic concerns and felt that they <br />should not be approving a new lot which is substandard. <br />Gaffron reiterated that they are not creating a new lot, <br />just expanding a substandard, existing lot. <br />Rowlette noted that the proposed lot size does fit in with <br />the surrounding area. She noted that the public hearing for the <br />sewer project will be held in November. <br />Moos felt that the septic issue is the major concern. <br />Cohen noted that he has trouble approving anything less than <br />2 acre lots. <br />Gaffron noted that there are 2 lots on Tonka Avenue which <br />are going tax forfeit, and may be available for purchase by <br />Vaughan at a later date. <br />Vaughan requested the Commission to table the application <br />until the Stubb's Bay sewer issue is resolved. <br />0 <br />
