<br />OLD BUSINESS:
<br />A. Larson Variance - Lot Size - The Council reviewed the Engineers report
<br />indicating that the Larson lot met 98.8/ of the over-all lot size in the
<br />area. Seven built -on lots were calculated independently to reach this
<br />figure; should lots l and 2 be considered as one parcel, the Larson lot
<br />would meet 85% of the average.
<br />When the lot size does not meet the code, City policy provides that if
<br />that lot meets 100°/ of the average of built -on lots in the area, it is
<br />considered buildable, provided all regulations on septic needs are met.
