Board of Zoning December 12,2002-page 2 <br /> Puleo questioned why the lot with the home would be 326 feet and not 300 feet, which would <br /> give the other lot greater frontage. Wilsey pointed out that 326 feet would permit the access to <br /> the rear of his property to be on one parcel without having to cross wetlands. <br /> Schumann recalled the previous owner of these parcels wanted to subdivide the lots into three <br /> parcels but the City only permitted the creation of the two existing parcels. <br /> Bill Kujala, 12930 Homestead Ave. N., said he did not favor the request because he recalled the <br /> Planning Commission wanting the lots to be as close as possible to the 300 feet front lot width <br /> requirement when the previous application was before them. <br /> Alan Schmit, 7701 132nd St. N., said he recalled the application in 1998 when they were trying to <br /> subdivide into three lots. Schmit said that because of the wetlands, there would only be 37 feet <br /> between the wetland and the property line in which to put in a driveway. <br /> Dennis Schultz, 13101 Henna Ave. N., suggested the public notices include a better description <br /> of the location because he would have not known the subject properties were adjacent to his had <br /> he not talked to his neighbor. Schultz said he bought his lot because of the nice view of the pond <br /> and didn't want a home obstructing it. <br /> Schumann told him that this property line adjustment would not change the use of the property <br /> and the lot could be built on as it existed today. <br /> Puleo informed the audience that the applicant was only asking to change lot lines, not where the <br /> building site is or obtain a driveway permit. He said the acreage of the parcels was not changing <br /> and the lot line adjustment has no bearing on what the applicant can do as far as building on the <br /> property. <br /> Puleo said that is had been common practice that if a variance was reasonable and had no effect <br /> on the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the community, it was approved. <br /> Puleo made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the variance for Andre <br /> Wilsey and Kristi Rose. <br /> All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Adjournment <br /> Brunotte made motion, Puleo seconded, to adjourn at 7:25 pm. <br /> All Ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Michele Lindau, Secretary <br /> Planning Commission <br />
