Mr. Gordon Danks, who owns property on Section one that is cut by 20th Avenue North had asked if the small parcel on the South side of the street is a buildable lot. Each member has a copy of the section showing this parcel. The Clerk had called the County and had the acreage computed and,depending on where the south line starts, there is either 2.7 acrea or 2 acres. The general consensus of the Board was that Mr. Danks would need a variance for a parcel of less than 2 acres. He should have the land surveyd for accurate acreage and correct legal and submit a request for a variance. The Clerk is to call him with this information. Mr. Hansen had arrived and the preliminary plat for Otter Lake Hills was considered. The Board suggested the original plat south along the Lake also be included in this overall plat. The lots in this original portion do not have the required 150' frontage. There was a suggestion of possibly combining three lots to make two or combining two lots into one. Mr. Hansen said there has not`been a decision on just how this is to be handled.
