-2- <br /> minutes were also. in error. as to the type of front yard variance <br /> which. will. be necessary, since the, ordinance requires lots to be <br /> 75 feet wide and..not 75 foot front yard .setbacks . The information <br /> • regarding the replatting of other lots in the area .was accepted as <br /> informational, but not relative to the. proposal; but the fact that <br /> the structure on the lotto the south is sited closer to the property <br /> line than indicated. on the . City maps, was considered pertinent. <br /> Mr. Enrooth told .the Council. the Commission .members had agreed the <br /> proposal -would result in a. .good utilization of a substandard, but <br /> buildable,- lot . as long as the dwelling constructed .on the site <br /> doesn' t pose a problem for the adjoining property owners. <br /> A poll of the Council towards the concept was taken for the benefit <br /> of Mr.. and Mrs— Domalik, who were present. <br /> Councilman. Letourneau would not oppose specific plans for the proposal <br /> being presented- at--a public- hearing before the Commission, agreeing <br /> with. the Commission. members. that it. is important for the City to <br /> investigate all. possibilities of utilizing vacant .land for housing. <br /> Councilman Ranallo could see nothing wrong with the proposal as <br /> long as the. structure is sited correctly, seeing a singlefamily <br /> structure as .preferable to the two.-unit dwelling on the adjoining <br /> same size lot. <br /> Mayor Haik said she believed the City would look more favorably on <br /> a proposal where .the person building the house was also the owner <br /> and told Mr.. Domalik, "If you. .get. the property rezoned and then sell <br /> it off., it may be harder to. get the variances necessary to build. " <br /> Councilman Sundland .agreed . this may be the time for the City to <br /> permit the development of vacant substandard lots .as long as the <br /> developments are done -properly. He did not believe the City should <br /> prevent such. .property owners from utilizing their property. <br /> Councilman Marks could approve increasing the housing stock and <br /> felt in these hard economic times the Council owes it to the City <br /> to provide a .less expensive range type of housing stock-. His approval <br /> was also based on an acceptable plan for development being presented <br /> at the public hearing: <br /> When Mr. Berg indicated the Domalik' s- had . reported no opposition to <br /> their proposal from the neighbors, , the Mayor reminded the Council the <br /> City Attorney had previously advised. them .that although the neighbors' <br /> input regarding a proposal might be a political consideration, it <br /> should not .be a consideration for granting variances . . <br /> Mr. Enrooth: then reported the Commission had .reinforced the under- <br /> standing .that. the existing signage on the shop at 3909 Silver Lake <br /> Road is only a .*temporary: measure until the remainder of the Hedlund . <br /> PUD is developed, as will. be confirmed in the letter to the interested <br /> parties .the Commission' recommended staff write. <br /> He concluded .his .report by reporting the .Commission'.s public acknowi- <br /> ' ed ement- of the- research and documentation- of pertinent data is <br /> being provided by Mr.. Berg and .its value to the Commission. <br />
