How does your property differ from other property in the same vicinity? Lot A is a legal non -conforming lot. only one other legal non -conforming lot exists in the immediate area, that being the property directly to the north which consists of 8000 square feet. 3.

He said it is necessary to get a variance on Lot I to enable them to subdivide and build on Lot 2 within today's regulations; it is possible to Put a house on Lot 2 without any variances.

The applicants had purchased the property adjacent and south of their residence, with the intention of doing a lot line adjustment to add 10' of the acquired lot to their existing lot in order to provide access to the back. The City, however, considered both parcels as one lot. Mr. Bowman read aloud the definition of "lot" which states that adjoining lots under common ownership make them one lot if not subdivided. Based upon an opinion of the Attorney General, the City Attorney had indicated that because the applicants' lot is nonconforming, the purchase of additional land would make it one lot. They will have to subdivide to have two lots, and one will be nonconforming. When the applicants purchased the second lot they were not aware that would cause both properties to become one lot. Mr. Bowman indicated that special circumstances do exist in that the property slopes steeply to the west and the access to the back yard of Lot A is extremely difficult. Lot A was at one time a legal nonconforming t lot. He indicated that the granting of the variances would not result in he granting of special privilege as other lots in the immediate vicinity are substandard as to lot area and width, and the granting of the requested variances will make Lot A more conforming. As proposed, the granting of these variances will be consistent with goals and policies of the Comprehensive Policy Plan. The granting of these variances also is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and should not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. The requested variances are the minimum needed to make reasonable use of the property. Lot A is already developed and these variances will make it more conforming as to area and lot width. Mr. Bowman recommended approval of the application. Joan Swift, one of the applicants, said this property had been subdivided in about 1920 and was sold for summer homes.
