REPORT OF PLANNER CASE #88-03; LOT DIV. & CONSOL. 4430 NORTH SNELLING, PODLASEK Council was referred to Planner's report of 3/2/88, and Planning Commission minutes of 3/2/88 relative to the application for a Lot Split and Consolidation at 4430 North Snelling Avenue, Francis Podlasek. Planner Bergly reported the requested action is to divide the property by reversing the size of the two adjacent parcels of land; the application was prompted to settle a family estate. He noted the requested Lot Split meets all of the current Zoning Code requirements as far as lot area and setbacks. Bergly also stated that no additional dwellings are proposed for construction at this time. The Planner stated that Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval of the proposal, subject to the Attorney's review of the lot survey, for identification of any easements. Council questioned the potential for further subdivision of the parcels. Bergly advised he had discussed this with the property owners; they stated they have no desire to further subdivide at this time. The applicant had advised the parcels will remain in family ownership. Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve Case No. 88-03, Lot Division and Consolidation, 4430 North Snelling Avenue, Francis and Judith Podlasek, and Joan Wieber, subject to the review of the survey, identification of easements, and approval by the City Attorney. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) CASE #88-05; VARIANCE SIDEYARD SETBACK, LOT 8, BLK 2, Me CLUNG'S THIRD ADDN, K. BAILEY Council was referred to Planner's Report of 3-2-88; relative to the application for a Sideyard Setback Variance, Lot 8, Block 2. McClung's Third Addition. The Planner explained the applicant had requested a 2 or 3 ft. sideyard variance for a residence to be constructed on a pie-shaped, cul-de-sac lot. He reviewed previous Council action which approved the plat with a lot depth and width variance for this lot. Bergly noted that it is not unusual for Council to allow lots which are slightly below minimum requirements, however, it is normally specified that a sufficient building envelope exists and no further variances would be granted for construction of a residence. Council was referred to the Board of Appeals minutes, 2-25-88; the Board unanimously recommended approval of a I ft. sideyard variance on the north and south property lines.
