Upon review of the two parcels, it came to staff's attention that at some point a lot combination of Lot 5 and 6 was completed at the offices or' Anoka County. This result's in only one number being issued for the two lots and the County considering the two lots as one for tax statement purposes (the original plat boundary lines stay in tact). [n order for the'two properties to be considered separate parcels again, the applicant will need to request that the County re- assign a second PIN number to the vacant parcel. Anoka County will require the City to approve the request. Staff is com~brtable signing and approving the request for a second PIN number as long as it is clearly understood through the variance process that the existing house must be either demolished or relocated on the property in a manner that complies with City Code regulations and the conditions set forth in the DNR certified variance. Recommendation: It is Staff's opinion that the duo-ownership rule is practically impossible to enforce thoroughly and equitably. Staff recommends that a variance to lot width and area be granted to Lot 6 in order that ir may be .devel~pe'd. With a dwelling unit. Staff a:lso recommends that a variance to the OHW setback for Lot 5 and 6 be granted since the location of the proposed new houses will maintain the existing house setback and conform to the adjacent structure setbacks. The variance was sent to the DNR for their approval and certification.
