noted that if Sorel Street was vacated it may lessen the need for
variances.
Chairperson Tourville noted that it could be an opportune time
for the City to vacate that portion of Sorel Street.
Commission Welk noted that if the City had a need for that
portion of Sorel Street it would have been paved.

Building Inspector, had expressed concerns regarding the Hansen's
proposal_ Mr. Pettersen appeared to be concerned with what
portion of the lot is to be considered the rear, front and side
yards. Mr. Pettersen expressed that if the Planning and Zoning
Commission appeared to be in favor of the lot split, that there
should be specific direction given to the Building Inspector_
