1 1 185 Council Meeting February 27, 1984 caught and that department refused to honor the split. Mr. Doyscher pointed out that his client's problem is that he cannot get a tax statement on just the property that he owns. He receives taxes on the entire parcel. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Hawkins for the final conclusions to this matter. Mr. Hawkins said this action had created two illegal lots. There was further discussion on the matter with Mr. Doyscher explain- ing that all he wants is for the tax statements to be split. Mr. Hawkins pointed out, in order to do that the City would have to approve the lot split and that is in violation of the City and State laws. There was a question on the possibility of a variance to split this lot and it was pointed out it must be .- ;hardship of the land for a variance to be granted. This seems to be an economic hardship and would not qualify. Mr. Reinert moved to deny the land split. Seconded by MR. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously.
