The subject lot was previously platted as two lots, lots 5 and 6, block 1, in Traeger's Addition Plat 2. The lots were combined in 2012 and now sits vacant due to a house fire in 2017. The property is zoned central residential district (CR -3), but also falls within the shoreland district.

The shoreland district requires a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet and the proposed lots are 14,875 and 12,560 square feet, therefore a variance is required. Weber provided additional details on the conditions of approval listed in the resolution. Staff recommended the Planning Commission open the public hearing and hear public comment.
