Mr. & Mrs. Henrich September 23, 1986 Page 2 of 2 -31 were not charged a sewer unit at all, signifying thes� were not contemplated as building sites at the time of the sewer assessment. Q2. How many of these 10 charged a sewer unit has previous ly had a house on them? A2. Only 2 - 4340 North Shore Drive and 4175 Highwood Road. The remaining 8 of 10 have always been vacant according to our records. Q3. What constitutes a "small cabin"? A3. In the context of my memo, "small cabin" refers to a secondary structure on a property or group of properties, this structure impressinq one as befng subordinate to an existing principal structure on the property or qroup of properties. The cabin size or the fsct thst the cabin had or didn't have a basement is perhaps less relevant than the prior use of that structure, "cabin" suqqestinq a seasonal use rather than use as a permanent residence. The fact that your vacant lot is assessed for sewer may or may not have an impact on the Planninq Commission and Counci 1's view of the property. The fact that the City assessment records fndicate the structure was a "remodeled cottage £or year-round living, in need of physical repair, presently rented, originally a part of (Lot 20 and 21), heat and water obtained from adjoininq property," indicates some question as to whether this property was ever a bona-fide principal residence. Note that City files wil 1 continue to use 4115 Highwood Road in referring to the vacant lot in question, in order to differentiate between it and your homestead property at 4125. I apologize that this review took so long, however, your , request hit at the busiest part of the year for City staff. Please contact me if you have further questions and to discuss how you want to proceed with your application. Sincerely, � Michael P. Gaffron, Asst PYanning & Zoning Administrator MPG/tln Enclosure
