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.
