Marian Peterson, representing the petitioner, stated they were request ng at least 30% coverage on 20% of the lots.

Councilmember Crain voted nay. Manager Willis stated the Planning Commission considered the request of Donald Paschke for a subdivision code variance for the creation of two lots from on,4 existing .tot at 700 Harbor Lane and recommended that it not be approved. Planner Tremere stated the Planning Coemission was concerned about the precedence this would set as there is undeveloped property adjacent to this site. David Johnson, attorney for Mr. Paschke, explained the history of tre ot. Mr. Paschke is currently buying the lot and is proposing that It be subdivided to allow another home to be built. The present home was built before setback requirements were established. The present home would be on a lot of 110 feet wide which would meet the City's requirements. The proposal requires only one variance for the width of the new lot. Mr. 9ohnson listed the requirements of the ordinance, she criteria for approving the request, and how their proposal would meet all of them. He also suggested the petitioner would consider a more equal division. Owners of adjacent land were contacted and none wanted to buy this lot or sell land to the petitioner. Couneilmember Schneider pointed out that if the adjoining lets were sold to Individuals, they could also ask for similar variances if this request were approved. Mr. 3ohn3on pointed out that there are existing lots platted at 80 feet frontage on Harbor Lane. Planner Tremere stated that all the lots have been consoiidated and are now one legal parce'.. J Mr. 3ohn30n developed* stated that the lots to the west are already Mayor Davenport stated that it is not only the nature of the variance but the site of it hieh disturbs him. Nick Sathre, consulting engineer for the petitioner, stated they. had cons Bred several proposals. This was selected because they would not have to request a lot width variance at the building autback line and the variance would be on the street only. He think: it is unlikely this would set a precedent because of the location of the existing house and the dimension Of the nein iot.
