DATE: December 15, 1970 CASE NUMBER: VN-70 APPLICANT: J.W. and D. D. Hillyard LOCATION: 1830 Long Lake Road. REQUEST: Variance in minimum lot width and permission to subdivide property without platting PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: The property in question is described as a gently rolling long narrow tract lying 330.74 feet south of 19th Street North extending from Long Lake Road to 20th Avenue North- west. The size of the parcel for which division without platting and variance in lot width have been requested is approximately nine tenths of an acre. It is evident that division. of property to the south of the parcel in question will be divided on a north- south orientation, facing the new road extending from Long Lake Road to 20th Ave- nue Northwest. The description of the property given by the petitioner and the parcel as delinected on the section map do not match (one of the difficulties in Metes and Bounds descriptions for property decision). However, the property in terms of area could under present 10,000 square foot minimums accommodate three single family dwelling units. The petitioners-are requesting division of the parcel into two Lots and variance on the minimum lot width for an indefinite time. Under Ordinance 188, Section 11-070 "a special use permit or a variance permit, when not used, shall expire after 180 days after date of issuance unless written application for renewal or time extension is received and granted by the Village council prior to the expiration date. Under the conditions of the surrounding property and its probable eventual division it is difficult to see how this property can be divided in any way other than that indi- cated by the petitioner unless some. amalgamation of properties were to occur. Platting the division of the property which would also require a variance in the platting procedure would relieve the need for an indefinite extension of the requested variance and would also facilitate description and title transfer on the property in question. In any event prior to any action on the parcel, a dedication of rights-of-way for 20th Avenue Northwest and Long Lake Road should replace the present easements on the property.
