Vice Chairperson Luckey called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. Zoerb moved, seconded by Anderson and carried, to adopt the agenda. Date of next meeting: The next meeting for this committee is July 8, 2003 at the Government Center in Hudson. Minor Subdivisions: See attachment A: Major Subdivisions: See attachment B: Discussion of substandard lots: Fisher explained that this issue has arisen on Squaw Lake where multiple substandard lots are owned by one owner, and the owner wants to sell them off. According to the ordinance, these lots cannot be sold separately, as they are contiguous, and owned by one owner. Fisher went over the handout on this, as well as a letter dated March 1, 1978, signed by Eric Lundell, District Attorney at that time, and C.L. Gaylord, releasing these property owners from road setbacks. but they are still substandard lots. Fisher pointed out that the owners may apply for a variance through the Board of Adjustments. Jim Dettmann and Al Beeler were present at the meeting and expressed their concerns with this interpretation of the ordinance, stating that they believe these parcels should be grandfathered in and allowed to be sold separately. This plat, Wigwam Shores, was recorded in 1958. The lots meet the road and water setbacks, and have always been taxed as buildable lots. The only requirement that they do not meet is the minimum lot size of 2- acres. After a lengthy discussion held on variance criteria and determination of substandard lots, the committee believes the staff acted appropriately and informed the owners of the options available to them. The committee recessed from 12:45 p.m. to 1:50 p.m. for lunch.
