Mark Hronski, 2857 Vanderbie Street, stated that he spoke with an attorney and they were advised that the ownership would not need to be legally defined as long as both parties are in agreement. He stated that the shed is on his current property and is in poor condition, so he will be removing that shed. Mayor Fischer asked if the existing detached garage would meet the setback requirement. The Community Development Director confirmed that the detached structure would meet the required five- foot setback. D. Miller asked whether there would be a requirement that the new lot would have to meet City Code requirements and could not request a variance. The Community Development Director commented that there would not be special requests or variances as a home could be constructed on the new lot within the zoning code. She stated that if there were a special request, that would need to go through the Planning Commission and City Council. She stated that the placement of the driveway would come in with the home design as it would depend on which side of the home the garage would be located. 2
