Bouquet, & van Valkenburg Re: Ski ;onka letter 10-13-82 Dear lie. Van Valkenburr;: This morning I received your letter dated 10-13-82 regarding the Pri:r.us property formerly known as Ski 'ronka. The City has over the last 4-5 yews had several informal inquiries concerning subdivision of the "Ski I'onka" property. we had not had any formal application :lade. The City staff has in the case of each such inquiry informed the parties that any new subdivision must account for all commonly-uwned properties. The minimum lot size is 5 ages per dwelling in that zone. New subdivisions will not be approved that creme or except -out new lots of less than 5 acres. The property at 4520 Bayside Road (Cove?) haz never been le ally subdivided from the single large 40 acre parcel, P.I.D. 31-118-23 34 0001. Division of the large parcel :gust th:rtr_`o:c include 5 acres for this residence. The property at 4740 Bayside Road (Dunn) is a separate tax parcel, but as you note was owned in common by Primus. :'here is also some question as to the location of the septic sys*_.1 drainfield for this house as it may in fact be on the '_drger Primus property. Any subdivision application for the larger parcel must address this corrr..on ownership situation as well as the practical drainfield problems. I hope the above answers your questions. As .always, our staff is ready to meet and discuss any plans for subdivision you or your clients n.ay have. Since ly, ,in . 01,, cc: Bruce 1). Malkerson, City Attorney city ; l..tr.r rr Jeanne A.

Mabusth, 'Zoning Administrator DATE: January 13, 1983 SUBJECT: #722 - Ski Tonka, Inc. - 4740 Bayside Road Variance Planning Commission Action - tabled pending receipt of additional information from applicant. List of Exhibits: Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Property owners list Exhibit C - Plat map Exhibit D - Council Minutes - October 26, 1971 Exhibit E - Olson letter - October 21, 1982 Exhibit F - Survey In 1971, the City approved a division for Lee Primus creating a one -acre parcel (4740 Bayside Road, now owned by the Dunns, see Exhibit D). In that same year, the property was sold on a contract for deed. The property was conveyed back to Ski Tonka (Primus) in 1974 and remained in Ski Tonka's ownership until 1978, when it was sold to the present owner. During that your -year period, the property was rezoned to RR-1A, five acre minimum lot size. It was during tl four-year period that the property was subject to all common ri,,_rship standards. If the subject property was to be resold and separated from the larger parcel, there should have been a division giving 4740 Bayside and additional four acres. Based on the special circumstances that surrounded the history of the ownership of the one -acre parcel, staff has asked the original owner, Ski Toi.ka, to file merely a lot area and lot width variance application to reconcile the long standing issue of common ownership and allow Ski Tonka to sell the larger parcel to the north. #722 - Ski Tonka January 13, 1983 Page 2 Septic testing has been required but the City has yet to receive the test results. I have been advised by the current owner, Dunn, that testing was being done on Thursday, January 13, 1983. The enclosed survey shows the principal drainfield located to the north and within the boundaries of 4740 Bayside Road. The drainfield meets the required setback of 10' from all lot lin,2s. Issues for Consideration: 1. Is there a need for a subdivision of a lot line rearrangement to create a new parcel for combination with the substandard Dunn property? a) Four acres to bring lot size up to code per. ordinance 34.742. b) one acre to satisfy minimum lot area standard for rural, unsewered properties. c) Additional area to satisfy alternate septic site demands because a suitable site could not be found within the Dunn property. d) Require no subdivision. 2. Should a lot legally divided for sale purposes under one zoning standard and returned to its original owner be subject to common ownership standards? 3. Does the length of time the lot was retained by the owners 1974- 1978 have any bearing on the issue? 4. Does the fact that tht mers were made aware of the common ownership and change i.. zoning prior to sale have any bearing on the case? Review ordinances 31.201, 31.202, and 31.203 for background on common ownership standards. ® USURMAN q NOINERRING INC.- - --- - - -- --- ---- ® Civil, Municipal & Environmental F.ni, steering Land Surveying • Land Planning • So -ting Mr. Brent Primus 432 Midland Bk.

The soil analysis was performed to determine if additional land area is required for parcel No. 2450 to comply with present City requirements for sewer disposal systems. Two percolation tests and one soil boring were taken in an alternate drain - field area location as required by City as shown on the attached drawing. The tests indicate a percolation rate of 27 minute per inrh which is sufficient for a standard trench drainfield system. Copies of the tests are attached herewith. We also attempted to locate the existing drainfield presently in use by a field survey to determine if the system is within the 10 feet setback from a property line as required by City. Based upon our survey and the City's record of the drainfield installation, it appears the drainfield is about 10 feet from the property line. However, due to the nature of the measurements on the City's records it is impos,-ible to determine the precise distance without excavating and exposing the system. I suggest this not be performed unless the City requests such action. On the basis of the information contained herein it appears parcel No. 2430 contains sufficient area to accomodate a sewer system as required by City. St=Y D Dan P. Johnso , P.E.

Gaffron, Septic System Inspector DATE: January 17, 1983 SUBJECT: #722, 4740 Bayside Road, Brent Primus, Site Evaluation for Septic Systems This is an existing 1+ Acre Lot with existing house and septic system which was repaired in 1980. Testing was done to show that the lot is large enough to support all future septic system needs. Testing was done at a site with 10-15% slopes. Perc Rates averaged 27MPI. No indication of the presence or absence of mottling was given, as is required in the Orono Design Manual. The boring log does indicate "multi -colored clay" at shal.lnw depth, which may or may not be mott- ling. I was not able to obtain samples to prruse since the holes had been filled in. However, should a perched seasonal water table actually exist on the site at some time, the tested site would not be suitable for a mound due to the slope. In my opinion, flat land north of the property line should be added to the lot in an amount of at least 1/4 acre±. The strip 218' wide by 49' deep, continueing the rear lot line of parcel 2410 (see sketch) would be suitable. Adding land west of the existing parcel would be of little value for septic system due to slopes. I would further recommend that the lot be brought up to a 2.0 .icre minimum size if possible, which is the standard for unsewered lots in Orono. Please note that according to the legal description on Dunn's deed, their north boundary is 226 feet from the center of the road subject to a 33' road easement, hence the ictual existing lot dimensions for zoning purposes are (226-33) = 193' X 2181(or 2321dependinq on what is taken as the actual width of the west 112 of the SW1/4 of the SW1/4) which is about .97 acre. Also, the legal description in the tax records for parcel 2440 goes 253' north from the center of the road, so a (253'-226') = 27' discrepancy exists between parcels 2430 and 2440, as shown on sketch "A" attached. Assuming Dunn's deed description is correct, the existing port., line is about 46' north of the barn, and I suspect that the existing system is within existing lot lines, but may not meet a 10' setback.

Dunn Our File 7461-1 Gentlemen: 1612 I 475.2401 Based upon the discussion that occurred in front of the Planning Commission on January 17, 1983, I would like to make the following observation. My client has two major concerns: 1. That the size of their lot Is sufficient in area to allow them the opportunity of expanding the existing residence and/or rebuilding the existing residence in case it becomes ntcessarv. 2. That the location of additional residential units are such that there is sufficient room on the property to provide for the necessary on -site treatment of subject waste. To accomplish these goals. my client Is willing to purchase a sufficient amount of property from Primus to Increase the size of his lot to two acres whidtcorresponds to the zoning across Bayside Road. Since there is approximately twenty acres in the total tract, including the two previously deeded exceptions, bringing the two existing lots up to the two acre standard by purchase or establishing outlots to the rear of the existing lots, would not result in anv reduction of density on the balance of the propert%. since five acres into fifteen acres or Into seventeen acres would only allow three additional building units. If my client is unable to purchase the necessary property from the Primuses to create a two acre parcel. I would suggest that the council as a condition for grant- ing the variances that are required, obtain a set aside of a sufficient amount of property immediately to the North side of the subject properties to create a parcel City of Orono .January 19, 1983 Page 2 when combined with the Dunn's lot of at least two acres. The appropriate eaaetrents should be obtained by the Cite over the set aside property to ntlow for the con- struction of drain fields as necessary to maintain an operative +ep[ic system for the Dunn's propertv.

Mabusth, Zoning Administrator DATE: February 3, 1983 SUBJECT: #722 Ski-Tonka, Inc. 4740 Bayside Road - Variance Planning Commission Action - To deny or approve subject to conditions Exhibits: A) Gaffron memo B) Hennepin County Highway Deptartment letter 1/27/83 C) Building Envelope with 491X218' of additional land D) Revised sketch E) Oberhauser letter 1-19-83 The Hennepin County Highway Department has reviewed the Dunn property for the purpose of improving the existing access. They find the exist- ing access the only acceptable one. To move the access further west is not feasible because it would place it too close to the intersection of the Ring Route and CSAH 84. The topography prevents a safe access further east. The larger Primus lot will not be approved for direct access onto CSAH 84. The access to this property will be via the Ring Route. The Public Works Director will approve all new curb cuts. I have been advised that the applicant and the Dunns are attempting to come to some form of an agreement on the sale of additional land. I have advised both parties that until Council acts, we have no idea as to the size of that lot. The Eanns have stated for the public record their desire to acquire additional land from Primus. Mrs. Dunn has been kind enough to submit photographs and slides of her property for review at the meeting. The surveyor has submitted a revised sketch showing the property platted to the centerline. The Dunn property now has a depth of 193' with a total I t area of 42074 sf. or .96 acres. The improvements have been relocated within the lot lines huf it a ?" ?nn'scale with merely a sketch there is no Pcruracy. At our last meeting, Planning Commission determined a subdivision would be required as a condition of this variance approval. The survey required for the subdivision will certify all improv- ments. Planning Commission must now determine the size of the parcel to be combined ith the Dur- Int. -J) 49' X 218' Corriu-. along North Property Line. Gaffron (Exhibit A) confirms that this is adequate area to solve all future septic needs. Per Oberhauser letter (Exhibit E) will this corridor permit expansion of the existing house? Please remember the substandard setback to the east will prevent expansion on the east. (50' req., 30' existing). There is adequate area now to permit expansion to the west and north on the house. (rear setback req. 100' - existinq 140', side setback required 50' existing 1601). The additional corridor to the rear or north will not effect future expansion plans on existing structure. The addition of the 49' X 218' corridor will permit a new house to be constructed on the proposed lot meeting all setback standars of the RR-lA Zoning District. The lot would indeed have a severely limited building envelope in consider- ation of the severe slope of the property on the west. The building envelope measures 130' X 421. b) Addition of 1 acre The lot would now satisfy the minimum area requirement of rural residential lots. The applicant's attorney and staff strongly recommend at a minimum the one acr4 addition. The 2 acre lot would now create a more reasonable building envelope and assure adequate area fir septic expansion and any other type of improvement associated wits rural use. The attorney goes as far as asking for an additional acre to be set aside for the substandard lot to the east. I would suggest that we limit this review to consideration of the Dunn lot. If you choose this alternative you may base your decision on the unique history of the ownership of the lot and the fact t,.at it w.-a an approved legal subdivisi-n in 1971. c) Addition of 4 acres The requirement would uphold the City's position on lotsof common owner- ship requiring all standards of the RR-lA Zoning District be upheld and deny that the unique history of the lot has any bearing in consideration of the current status (-f the property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION To approve the lot area and lot width variance application of Ski-Tonka Inc. subject to the applicant filing a lot line rearrangement subdivision with the C�'�_� requiring 491X218', 1 acre or 4 acre parcel be combined with the ;arty located at 4740 Bayside Road and that access to the larger paLcL1 owned by Ski-Tonka INc. be via McCulley Road. e REGUALR MEETING OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 7, 1983 Page Kilbo said that in his 9 years here there have been no personal injury accidents attributable to the parking lot or the parking in this area. There have been 5 to 8 PI Is east or west of the area but those have been caused by speed and/or DWI Is. He went on to say that if this parking area is closed that come opening day there will still be 150 fishermen coming here and ••n his experience other years they will pare ..newhere on other streets and on private property and they will continue to fish here and on the railroad trestle. Also, if they 3opark on private property his men can't tag or tow the cars, that this would be the responsibility of the property owner. Mr . Gabr iel Jabbour asked i f the Ci ty could even consider vacating any of the shoreline based on previous court rulings. City Attorney Malkerson stated that the Minnesota Supreme Court says in of fect howcan it possibly be in the public interest to vacate shor3land. ,7aboour stated that therefore this area has to :atiy p,iblic and if there is a traffic problem, this roa l has beAn .' -ignated a scenic parkway so the City and Count r:t,1 consider lowering the speed limit.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Re: Zoning aml Nan -Conforming Use Our File: 7461-1 Hear 'Mayor Butler and Members of the Orono City Council: 1612) 475.2401 After reviewing the information compiled by staff and the recommendations of the Planning Comnission, it becomes apparent there is a conflict between the City's obligation to protect the property rights of the general public versus a Aesire to promote the economic welfare of an applicant. The issue is a give-away of the City authority to control the subdivision of land for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare by granting a variance Where there is no grgxuAs for :icing so. I first question whether or not the applicant for the subdivision comes to the City with clean hancls. The applicant and all prior awners were attor- neys Who have owned property in the City of Orono and are well versed in the laws and regulations concerning the use and subdivision of property within the City of Orono arxi as a propwrf-v -Wner has received notices of all actions by the City concerning of their rroperty. For Mr. Primus to profess that ne is a victim of circumstances •-util was unaware of the situation, would test the credulity of the mist reeophyte member of tt►e City goverrunernt. The primary purix-)se of governunent is to control the LISP of private property by not allowing an owner to act in a mariner which is Ietrimental to the general health, safety, mx-1/nr welfare of the public. To satisfy this pur- pose the Council should nrnt grant variances t:) individual rwoperty awners because the existenap of some regulation restricts that person's use of hia property. The only 1x uni for legally granting a variance is har•iship, otherwise the regulation Ahrxn l ° l he dianga l . In this raase we have a classic ex2u*ple of a situation Where the City Cbw.cil cats exercise its police power b-) p rott x-t the general health ani welfare of the onrrvmunity ani the interests of the citizens throty.1h the IN-aper vrlica- tion of its regulations. The Honorable Mary Butler, Mayor and Council Members for the City of Orono March 7, 1983 Page Two Of aourse this will restrict the laissez-faire rights of a property owner to use his property as he chooses but that was the reason that the 0 ty adopted the regulation in the first place. The Primus' sold a piece of land to Dunn arts Yoder.st knowing that the pro- perty di(i Oat meet the five acre zoning requirements established by the City of Orono and knowing that the property adjoining the Dunn/Yogerst property belonged to them. In doing so, they created a non -conforming lot by violating the ordinances established by the City of Ot.= for the purpose of creating five acre tracts. 'Ibis was done in ux lete disregard for the interest of the public and the purposes and eels of the Zoning Ordinances. What is the public health, welfare and safety that the Cbuncil is called upon to protect? The Orono Council, after much study, decided that in non-sewered areas, lets should contain a minimum of two acres arx] in some areas, five acres. 1`his was done to preclude the necessity of extending sanitary -sewer lines into these undeveloped areas. The acceptance by the City of one acre lots within these areas will leas] to a situation that will ultimately result in a health hazard. A health hazarl will result in the necessity of extending sanitary sewer lines to serve these properties. If the City fails to act to cure the health hazard the Minnesota Department of Public Health and/or the PCA could require the City to rectify the problem by the installation of v. appropriate sewer system. When these events occur, all of the property owners along County aaad #34 will he penalize] because they will have to pay for the cost of a sewer line in front of their property. If this (x)et is not assesse9, the taxpayers for the City of Orono will have to pay for this cost on a proportionate hasis. for the city !bunci 1 to fail to take the steps that- -try- avai lahle, to them to lessen the likelihood of this (,ocurinq, t]aes not fulfill its obligation to protect anci pra, a the general public health, welfare art] saafety which is the vary purpose that local gvvernrvmt was establishes] for. Mr. Primus .argues that sine he di.] rrk (in What he was su44xv&i to (b when he sold the property tip ia.usn/Ymerst, the City almld waive the requirement to p1At the lxrsperty to the iiensity that wrxsli] have peen m. Tuired. The ►tonorable Mary Butler, Mayor aril Council Members fior the City of rrano March 7, 1983 Page Three Had the City known about the circumstances surroumling the property at the time of this sale to Dunn/Yogerst there would have been no question that the City would have required a five acre parcel. The only thing different is that Mr. Primus decided to ignore the law and sell off a one acre parcel. To require a flour acre Outlot would only be requiring Mr. Primus to Io what he was legally obligated to do when he sold the lot. Mr. Primus would like the Council to see him as a victim when in reality he is a predator. The City and the public are the victims of this previous unlawful division. Because Mr. Primus was able to avoid the application of the Zoning maws cn the previous sale he is now saying it would be unfair for the City to correct that mistake at this time when he is requesting the sub- division of the balance of the property. The question I ask is, "When will. the City ever have another opportunity to correct Mr. Primus' s fa i 1 ure to follow the law aryl to resore the situation to the status quo that should have been arhicved at the time of Mr. Primus's sale to Dunn/Yogerst? The City Council would he Rilfilling its mmylate to serve the public needs and to protect the public's health, welfare and safety by requiring a suf- ficient mrmmt of property to be set asi-ie as an Outlot to provide a suf- ficient amount of land area to inspire that the land area dedicated to these lots at least conform to the zoni nf- requirements. This would provide suf- ficient land for an -site disposal systems to operate properly and would eli- minate the need to install sanitary sewer lines anri would carry out the mandates of the Zoning Ordinance. If Mr. Primus had fulfilled his (-bl igat ion to the City of Ch ano on the ori- ginal sale to Dunn/Yogerst, he would have conveyed a five acre parcel. This means that the City of Orcax) shoul(i mpAre four acres as an Out lot in rm-ier to create an average of five acres. 'lh.is would treat Mr. Primus in the same fashion as any other Orono resident in the five acre land use zone. The City should require ►rw. Primus to set aside approximately ftxir ac-ros in an Out lost as a Lt yd i t. ion to the approval of the sulyd i v is ion . The City cr)uld rapuire the dedication of this O utl.ot al javent. to the two one -acre sites to allow for the potential of creating two. three -acre sites. The Honorable Mayor, ^tiry Butler atxi Members for the city of ►rono March 7, 1983 Page Fbur For the City to decide otherwise would require the City to determine that a two acre or five acre lot size was not necessary to protect the public_ safety, health and welfare. If this is so, the City should change the Zoning Laws. If the City Council determines that the zoning is proper then they should take the appropriate action while they have the opportunity to provide that the existing Lots can be increased to correspond with the need required urxler the Zoning Code. I feel the public interest in this wetter manlates the City to require Mr. Primus to set aside a sufficient aunt of property in an Outlot to satisfy the requirements that existed on the date of his sale to T)unn/Yogerst. The resin function of a city government is to establish ami enforce regula- tions that basically require giving a "no" answer to a request for variance unless a legal hardship exists.

In that same year, the property was sold on a contract for deed. The pri?ert,., was conveyed back to Ski Tonka (Primus) in 1974 and remained in Ski Tonka's ownership until 1978, when it was sold to the present owner. During that four-year period, the property was rc-zoned to RR-1A, five acre minimum lot size. Ir was during that four-year period that the property was subject to the common ownership standards of the City. If the subject prope3r c.y was to be resold and separated from the I ar,aer parcel, there should have been a division giving 4740 Bayside an additional four acres. Th- Primus fami I,., had been advised by the Ci #722 - Ski Tonka. Inc. March 10, 1933 Page 2 staff that prior to the sale or division of the Ski Tonka property that this common ownership issue must be resolved. Based on the special circumstances that surrounded the history of the ownership of the one -acre parcel, staff has asked the original owner, Ski Tonka, to file merely a lot area and lot width variance application to reconcile the long standing issue of common ownership and allow Ski Tonka to sell the larger parcel to the north. The Dunns, the current owners of 4740 Bayside Road, have been very cooperative throughout the review of the application. Naturally, they knew nothing about the problems concerning the property. They have written to the City advising of their willingness to purchase additional land fro, the Primus family (Exhibit G). I asked the Dunns to meet with :..a because it became very obvious during the review that they were feeling pressured into buying acreage that thQy could not afford. I explained that it was the applicant's responsibility co set asie an area for the exclusive use of the owners of 4740 Bayside Road. T. -ir purchase of that additional acreage w ild not be of concern to the City. The City must be assured that this area will be available for future septic expansion and aural residential uses of the current and future owners of the on` acre lot. The Dunns aLi ised that they were most interested in acquiring additional land because of their need to expand on `he existing residence. They felt they needed some assurance o:n the City that they had Buildable lot since they have a one a rs lot that is subject to five aCL-' standards. The Dunn property now has a depth of 193' with a total lot area of 42074 sq. ft. of 0.96 acre. The improvements have been located within the lot lines but at a 1"=200' scale with merely a sketch, there is little accuracy. The septic testing for an alternate site was performed in a garden/ planted area with 10-15'+ slope. The testing was in^omplete as it did not note the seasonal water table. If a mound system was required, it could not be placed in this location. If additional area for septic expansion is to be acquired, it must come from the north, where the land is more level. The Hennepin County Highway Depizirtment has reviewed the Dunn: property for the purpose of improving the existing access. They find the exist- ing acc%ss the only acceptable one. To move the access further west is not feasible because it would place it too close to the inter- section of the Ring Route and CASH 84. The topography prevents a safe access further east. #722 - Ski Tonka, i..;. March 10, 1982 Page 3 The setbacks of the Frc• ` Setback Re ed - 100' Exi. ..ng - .20' .sting house are as follows: Re ai Setback Side Setback Required - 100' Required - 50' Existing - 1.10' East side - 30' West side - 160' There can be no future .expansion to the east of the house but there may be expansion on the north and west side of the house. The expansion to the -lest must extend along the existing front line of t-he house. The City could not oormit any further encroachment into the 30' front yard. How much area should be s,..-t aside for the future use of 4740 Bayside Road a) 49' X 218' corridor along north property line (realign north -south dimension to match lot to immediate east) Gaffron (Exhibit H) confirms that this is adequate area to solve all future septic needs. Per Oberhauser letter (Exhibit F) will this corridor permit expansion of the existing house? There is adequate area now to permit expansion to the west and north on the house. If a new hc;use were to be built on the site, will there be an adequate sized building envelope? Review Exhibit L. The area of the lot is 52,756 sq. ft. or 1.2 acres - no change in lot width. A building envelope of 11I 42' - a limited building envelope for the RR-lA zoning dic;.rict in consideiAtion of the normal rural uses of such lots. The applicant and the Dinns have discussed the purchase of a parcel running 20' wide along the west property line: and 49' wide along the north property line (see Exhibit M). The Planning Commission approved the acquisition finding this a fair --ompromise not wishing to create financial burden on the Dunns or :Hake a charity case for Primus. Review tLxhibit J, th,: minutes of the Planning Comml3sion meeting of February 7, 1983. b) One Acre Addition Review Exhibit N. The building envelope is more consist^r.t with rural residential uses. 'rho lot is r,)nsist�nt in size witn '-he RR-1: zoning district on the south side of Bayside Road. Morc than adequate area -o meet all future septic needs. The addition of one acre would satisfy the standards setforth for lots of single separate ownership in a rural residential district por Ordinance 31. 203. #722 - Ski Tonka, Inc. March 10, 1J83 Pago •1 31.303. in "R" Districts of '-o ater Than One Acre. A lot of record in any "R" District L,. the City in excess of one acre, which does not meet the requirements of this Zoning Code as to area or width only, may be utilized for single family detached dwelling purposes if the Council finds: 1) it is at .:ast one acre in size, and the average width of the lot is at least 100 feet; and 2) it is either served by public sanitary sewer or meets all the septic system requirements of the City or other gov:rnment body; and 3) it otherwise meets the requirements of this or other applicable ordinances. c) Four Acre Addition Mr. Oberhauser has stated for the record all of the reasons for .requiring a four -acre addition (review Exhibit I). I do not think that we reed sketch such a plan for your review; needless to say, it will bring 4740 Bayside Road well within the RR-lZ zoning standards. Staff Recommendation As I recommended to the Planning Commission -.hat a minimum of one acre be set aside for the future use of the L .arty located at 4740 Bayside Road. (similar to the one acre outlot set aside in t e Victoria Estates plat for the one acre lot with an existing house). The City should not concern itself with the purchase of that land. Primus/Ski Tonka, Inc. must file for a subdivision creating a one -plus acre outlot for the exclusive use of 4740 Bayside Road. The total +'wo -re area will now be consistea t with minimum lot standards for zl residential development. Staff has confirmed adequate and ible area for future setpic needs. I could not agree more with 1,�rhauser's position but I have offered a practical solution in ,f the findings of this review, the objectives and intent of the code and the nature of an after the fact application. Cou. . i 1 Action Give conceptual direction to staff so that a resolution may be pre.: for C incil action at your next meeting. Advise thy- applicant that he nej not wait for formal action on the variance application to fiit� for a lot line rearrangement subdivision with the City. T'ie application must be filed by Tuesday, March 29, 1983 to enable stafr to call for a public hr.aring at the April 18, 1983 meeting of the Planning Comm.' sion.
