CASE #88-04; LOT Planner Bergly reviewed his updated report of 9-7-88, SPLIT, 1960 W. CO. relative to the Lot Split at 1960 W. County Road E-2, RD. E2, ELSETH Eldon Elseth and John Robinson. Bergly referred Commission to the Attorney's letter of 8-31-88 which indicates the Village treats the right-of-way as public ownership and the lot line defines the lot from public right-of-way. He stated the application should be reviewed on the premise that the Robinson/Elseth property line is adjacent to the right-of-way line and variances would be necessary to accomplish their objective. The Planner explained the Lot Area and Lot Width variances that would be required and referred Commission to the Board of Appeals minutes of 8-25-88; they recommended denial (2-1) of the Lot Area Variance. The Board did not consider the other variances due to the fact denial of the lot area variance would automatically make the other requests mute.
