Carlson began by reviewing the recommendations of the City <br />Planner as outlined in his report dated May 21, 2003. The first <br />recommendation related to the straightening of the lot line between Lots 2 <br />and 3, Block 2. Carlson indicated that the reason that the lot line is jogged <br />is to provide for adequate square footage for both lots as well as provide <br />for ample width at the building line of Lot 2. <br />The Planner indicated that having straight lot lines makes issues such as <br />building permit issuance and plan checks easier from a staff standpoint. <br />Carlson indicated that they could straighten the lot line if that is the desire <br />of the Commission. <br />Carlson expressed concern with recommendation #3 relative to Outlot A. <br />The City Planner indicated that the City's Code does not allow reserve <br />strips such as Outlot A to be platted.
