City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission November 13, 2007 Mr. Alan LaMotte, 1643 Heritage Street, stated he had no problem with this proposal. He stated that his only concern is that the survey seemed to be off by about two feet. He stated the lot lines did not coincide with their lot line. He stated his property was surveyed in 2006. City Administrator Larson explained how the lot lines were determined. He stated if there is a discrepancy, the entire block would likely shift. Mr. Lloyd Hansen, 1588 Sorel Street, stated the surveyor discovered a cement monument and that is where the survey line started. He stated three different surveys were done. Discussion ensued. Mr. Erick Marshall, 1580 Sorel Street, commented on the lot lines. Mr. LaMotte provided photos of the location of the monument. Mr. LaMotte and Mr. Hansen agreed to meet with the surveyors to sort this out and come to an agreement on the lot lines. Councilmember Broussard pointed out that a number of properties on the south part of the city were off by two feet when surveyed. City Administrator Larson pointed out there could be easement and/or setback issues should the lot line shift. He noted a variance exists for the lake frontage as it is under the 100 foot requirement. Discussion ensued. Broussard questioned if the non-conforming lot is created, whether it would cause problems for future sale of the property and mortgage requirements. City Administrator Larson replied that it would not be an issue because the variance is part of the proposal being considered. Motion by Commissioner Love, seconded by Commissioner Pangell, to close the Public Hearing at 6:54 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Discussion ensued. Chair Hanson asked what the benefit is to the applicants for the request. Mr. Marshall replied equal square footage for both lots is the benefit. Page 2 of 3
