Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 28, 2022 Page 5 Etten moved, Willmus seconded, approval of issuance of the 7th Off-Sale Liquor License and a Cigarette/Tobacco License to Kong Mong Liquor, Inc. pending a successful background check. Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Willmus, Strahan, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. d. Public Hearing and Consider the Proposed "Wheaton Woods 2nd Addition" Minor Plat and Subdivision Variance Creating a Residential Lot from an Out- lot and an Abutting Residential Lot Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated November 28, 2022. Councilmember Strahan wondered if staff knew if the people intend to utilize this as a single-family home at 2687 or what is the likelihood that this is going to stay an affordable home and not be leveled with a new home put in there, after the City has made the accommodations for that lot. Mr. Lloyd indicated there are not any guarantees but if that was the plan, there is more than enough area on both parcels to accommodate a home on each of them. He thought all things considered, if the longer-term plan was to demolish the exist- ing home, that would certainly make for an easier discussion about the subdivision not having to be concerned about potentially narrower widths of one of the lots or that less than straight boundary in a sort of technically conforming configuration. Councilmember Strahan asked if the property at 2701 will be impacted. Mr. Lloyd indicated that is not a part of this proposal and nothing will change to that property's boundaries. Councilmember Willmus wondered if the applicant is also the same one that devel- oped the broader Weaton Woods single family development. Mr. Lloyd indicated that was correct. Councilmember Willmus indicated when looking to, for example, a hardship that is in place, would the hardship the applicant is having, with respect to the creation of this lot and lot size, not be of their own doing as a part of the original plat. Mr. Lloyd indicated he did not remember for sure how much extra width was a part of those other lots to the west on the north side of Weaton Avenue and if there was arbitrarily more width to each of the lots and the applicant could have reserved more space in the outlot. He indicated it could be said that this is their own doing.
