The hearing onthe proposed replatting was closed at 8:35 P.M. Motion by Mr. Peterson and seconded by Mrs . Makowske to recommend- Council approval of the proposed platting into Brown' s First Addition for the properties currently identified as parcels 3900 , 3950, and 4000 in Plat 63506 which will create two new buildable lots which can be developed as single family residences fronting Belden, noting no opposition to the proposal had been demonstrated during the hearing and viewing the creation of two new buildable lots to be a benefit to the City as a whole.- Motion hole.Motion carried unanimously. The Commission then considered the three applications for area variances on an individual basis . Motion by Mr. Peterson and seconded by Mr. Zawislak to recommend the City Council grant a lot area variance of 1 ,677 square feet from the required 9 ,000 square feet to Mrs . Ila Clark which property is identified as parcel 3900 of Plat 63506 , under the proposed .replatting to be known as Brown' s First Addition, finding for. this parcel as well as for parcels 3950 and 4000 of Plat 63506 , that: • 1. Each of the three parcels of property involved is long and narrow. By this subdivision process the two new lots that would be created would be conforming. The existing three parcels would be short- ended. However, that would not make them non-conforming. They are non-conforming presently because of their width. This width would -not .change because of the subdivision. Further, the back lots of each parcel are presently unused. It is a practical and an economic waste to leave this property undeveloped. 2. The proposed variance would alleviate the extraordinary circumstance of having long narrow lots which makes part of each of the lots , practically speaking, unusable. The unique shape of the present lots coupled with the fact that the two new lots to be created would not be non-confirming, make this a special circumstance for which this variance should be granted. 3. None of the party owners involved in the subdivision has pre- viously subdivided their property. T�.ey purchased their property in- its present size and shape. They had nothing to do with making their property non-conforming to the present City Ordinance . 4. No opposition to the platting or variances was demonstrated during the hearing. 5. The two buildable single family lots which will be created as a result of the replatting of these properties would appear to economically benefit the City of St. Anthony . Motion carried unanimously.
