The minutes of March 1, 1995, meeting were filed as presented. 11. NEW BUSINESS: LD -95-3 Lots 1,2,3, and 4, Block 1, Carlson's Park 4904 and 4912 Merilane Kitzenberg and Gallagher Mr. Larsen informed the commission the subject property comprises four platted single dwelling lots which are developed as two single dwelling lots. The owner of 4904 Merilane (Lots 1 and 2) proposes to sell a portion of Lot 2 to the owner of 4912 Merilane (Lots 3 and 4). The transferred parcel is approximately 85 feet wide and contains an area of 22,396 square feet. Mr. Larsen explained both properties would continue to comply with all Zoning Ordinance standards after the transfer of land. Mr. Larsen concluded staff recommends approval of the proposed division since both lots will continue to conform and no new lot will be created. The separated parcel would not meet the minimum lot size for this neighborhood. The proponents, Mr. Kitzenberg and Ms. Gallagher were present. Commissioner Johnson questioned if a house can be constructed on a lot that is described as that part of lot , etc., etc. Mr. Larsen said it is possible if the lot is large enough. Continuing, Mr. Larsen said the property in question now becomes only part of a lot, and since it does not meet the neighborhood lot size standards a house could not be constructed on it. Concluding Mr. Larsen said reconsideration on the use of this lot triggers hearings before the commission and council. Commissioner Johnson asked if this lot could be deemed an "Outlot" to prevent the construction of a new house. Mr. Larsen said that is a possibility, but it would be at great expense to the property owner. Commissioner Ingwalson moved to recommend lot division approval. Commissioner Runyan seconded the motion. All voted aye; motion carried. III. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Hale moved adjournment at 7:30 p.m. Jackie Hoogenakker
