Acting Manager Blank presented the staff report and stated staff recommends that the variance be approved and that the split line be moved 31z feet to the north to provide more flexability for the location of the proposed house on the southerly lot. Staff further recommends that this lot line be verified with existing stakes or a lot survey be done to assure the side yard setback will not be violated. C. Chairman Les Axdahl presented the following Planning Commission recommendation: "Commissioner Prew moved the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of Appeals and Adjustments that the subject variance resulting from the potential lot split at 1636 Myrtle Street be approved on the basis that both of the proposed lots will substantially exceed the minimum lot area requirement and also, that this neighbor- hood as a whole would apparently not exceed the low density standards of the Com- prehensive Plan. This recommendation is based on the variance as applied for by the applicant. Commissioner Sherburne seconded. Ayes - all." - 1 - 1/18 d. Chairman Fontaine called for proponents. None were heard. e.
