r Pursuant to due call and notice - thereof, the Planning and Zoning Commission of Centerville held a public hearing Tuesday, March 3, 1987 at City Hall. Chairman Tourville called the hearing to order at 7:05 P.M. Present: Buesseler, Welk. Absent: Lindgren. Council Liaison Laska arrived at 7:15 P.M. The purpose was to hear all persons present regarding a request for variance to split lot 11, block 2 thereby creating two 75' X 150' lots described as lot 10 and North 1/2. of lot 11, block 2; and lot 12 the South 1/2 of lot 11, block 2. Paul and Margaret Anderson currently own lots 10 and 11. Marcel Rivard owns lot 12. The intention is for the Anderson's to obtain ownership of lot 12 and South 1/2 of lot 11, block 2, on which they would ike to build a single family dwelling. Mr. Rivard will then obtain ownership of lot 10 and North 1/2 of lot 11, block 2. The main concerns expressed by commission members were: - splitting a standardsize lot (lots 10 and 11) to make a substandard size lot - setbacks would be far enough to allow good vision to insure safety on both Sorel Street and Progress Road - would this set a precident encouraging other 3 lot sections to be split similarly or was there a peculiar circumstance Clerk pointed out that there appears to be a sewer stub to serve lot 10 and an additional sewer stub located in the South 1/2 of lot 11. There appears to be no sewer stub for lot 12, thus could make this a peculiar circumstance. Motion by Welk, second by Buesseler to recommend the City Council allow the request for variance to split lot 11, block 2 thereby creating two 75' X 150' lots described as lots 10 and North 1/2 of lot 11, block 2; and lot 12 and South 1/2 of lot 11, block 2. Also, a recommendation is to be made to the City Council to allow a variance to Ordinance #4, Section 34.01 -2 requesting a 16' setback variance off Sorel Street to accommodate the 44' house width and side yard setback. Motion carried unanimously. Required standard for variances seem to be met for split: 1.) Existing Special Circumstances- There is no sewer stub to serve lot 12 as it is now. A sewer stub does exist in lot 10 and the South 1/2 of lot 11. When split lot 10 and North 1/2 of lot 11, block 2, and lot 12 and South 1/2 of lot 11, block 2, would each be served by a sewer stub. 2.) Literal Interpretation of Provisions- There are other substandard lots in Centerville. Lot 12 being a 50' X 150' corner lot and having no sewer stub, would be difficult to build a single family dwelling on complying with setback requirements. The split does not increase or decrease resident density. 3.) Special Privileges- Other variances have been granted for
