9. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Resolution: Bergmann Minor Subdivision — Not Adopted Assistant Planner Matzek reported that the Planning Commission had previously recommended approval of 2 variances and a Minor Subdivision to detach 1.3 acres containing an accessory structure from a 30 acre parcel, and consolidate the detached parcel to an existing 5 acre parcel. Attorney Filla reported that a variance is needed to create a 6.3 acre parcel in the RR zoning district. He noted that a denial action could be is based on the fact that legally the ownership of an adjacent 30 acres is the same as the subject parcel. Therefore a 10 acre parcel, as required by RR zoning, could be created without a lot area variance.
