Old Business
A . Wayne Fair - #1068 Plan Review for a single family
residence located at 5th & Ash - Attorney s interpre-
tation
Attorney Carter stated that when he first reviewed this .
matter he was looking at the property as one parcel .
Upon further review of the ordinances this matter must
be looked at as two separate lots . The ordinance
regarding special yards and distances between buildings '
states that the distance between any principal building
and detached accessory building shall be a minimum of 10
feet and the distance between principal buildings shall
be at least one-half the sum of the height of both
buildings provided that in no case shall the distance be
less than twelve feet . This would authorize the City to
approve more than one principal building on the same lot .
Attorney Carter stated he sees no reason why the City
could not approve this building as long as it meets with
the City requirements regarding offstreet parking, yard,
lot, width, and density requirements . Attorney Carter
stated he would like 'to make two comments relating to
this matter : 1 . He noted that Mr . Fair shows a 7 '
rear yard setback . This does not comply with City
standards since the required rear yard setback in an
R-3 zone is 10 ' . There is a question relating to a
minor partition . The minor partition ordinance is
ambiguous relating to the separation of a lot into two
separate lots . Attorney Carter said that the City
should have some kind of assurance that the houses
will remain under one ownership. Mr. Pat Huyke,
attorney for Mr. Fair, was recognized and he stated that
he will draft an agreement between the City and Mr .
Fair stating that no portion of one lot will be separated ,
from the other lot and that the total parcel will remain
under one ownership and will be recorded with the deed.
Mr . Huyke will present the draft agreement to Attorney
Carter for his review and approval . Mr. Fair presented
to the Commission revised building plans and stated that
the 7 ' rear yard setback had been corrected to 10 ' to
zn,t4q l0, I q 1'7
comply with City standards . Motion was made by Mann ,
seconded by Emery to approve Mr. Fair' s revised building
plans as presented subject to R. J . ' s staff report and also
signing of the agreement regarding the separation of the lots .
