7.04: Consider Introducing Ordinance #18-01 Amending Lot Width Requirements for Cu1- <br />de-Sac Lots in the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) District <br />City Planner Anderson reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Ordinance #18-01 <br />amending the minimum lot width standard in the R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) District to <br />100 feet for lots on the bulb of a cul-de-sac. He stated that the Planning Commission supported <br />this action but directed staff to revise the language to specify that the measurement was to be made <br />at the required front yard setback. He noted that this ordinance amendment will likely reduce <br />future requests for variances to lot width for cul-de-sac lots. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau asked for information on the history of the 200 feet minimum lot <br />width and how that threshold arose in the first place. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that he was unsure of the reasoning for the minimum lot width but <br />stated that perhaps that arose when the City was incorporated. <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember LeTourneau, to introduce an <br />Ordinance amending the lot width requirement for cul-de-sac lots in the R-1 Residential (Rural <br />Developing) District. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Riley, LeTourneau, Johns, <br />Kuzma, and Shryock. Voting No: None. <br />
