A. Water Surface Use continued - Armstrong ma+red, seconded by Pott, to authorize the Administrator to draw up scope of direction for the Water Surface Use Com- mittee and advertise for four (!.,) more committee members. Motion carried 5-0, 9110MAS THOMPSON VARIANCE; The Council reviewed the summary of action and the position to date, The Planning Commission tabled any recommendation and asked. the Council how far they are willing to vary a standard, as the property owner has Only 37% of the requirement. The ordinance permits them to go ahead wi'thbut 'a variance if they have 60916. The Administrators suggestion to the Planning Commission was the policy possibly should be that they have two draintfA9 sites, have adequate public access,,or access guaranteed for emergency vehicles and this be tied" to the lot size in the neighborhood. They would have to meet 90% of the average lot size in Lanes DeMontreville, this is as far as it could be varied. Mottaz said the situation in Lanes DeMontreville Country Club is unique. In order to live with the situation. there has had to be many exceptions. When this property was pur- chased the minimum lot size was 189750 in order to build. Money has 'been invested with these rules and if there is no possible way to correct this than the City should have to give alittle. He does not feel this is establishing a precedent that allows people to build on e,,l:ot meeting 37% of the ordinance. This is a special unique dtuation and the Council should be willing to give some in order to solve it. The Administrator said Talcott, to the back of the Thompson Property has excess land area. If Thompson could pick-up additional land, through the vacation of Argyle, he would be close to the 60/ or 909/6 of the average lot size in the area. The average lot size of adjacent property is 24*900 sq. ft. Thompson's lot is 24,000 sq. ft. The average for the lakeshero lots north of -Thompson in Laney Demontrevi°lle is 369000 sq. ft. Armstrong agrees with the 90/ average, feels two drainfied sites is a, must, and will waive the one acre area for septic if two drainfield sites can be boated, also the bet -back could be varied to within 5 feet of the lot line. Mr, LaMott questioned if the second drainfield site would have to meet the set -back requirements. Armstrong said this could be varied. This could be varied from lot lines, not from lake - shore or the well. Pott moved, seconded by Mottaz, to grant the following variances to Thomas Thomps6h provided-the'following'_oonditions'are met: 1) A variance from the requirement that a platted parcel, that existed before the adoption of the City Code must meet 60'/o of the lot area and width requrementsg subject to Vair having 903u of the average lot area of other parcels in the subdivision.
