-3- John Kosik, 3212 -Belden, have verbally expressed their approval. Staff was requ6sted to provide the Council with- exact measurements of distances between the existing homes. at their meeting next week. The hearing on,- the proposed- replatting was closed at 8 : 35 P.M. Motion by Mr. Peterson- and seconded by Mrs . Makowske to recommend Council, approval of theproposed platting into Brown's First Addition for the properties currently identified as .parcels 3900 ; 3950 , and '- 4000 in' P.lat 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 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 39.00 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. They 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.
