She indicated that Donald and Molly Anderson own Lot ~1, Block 1, Bowers <br />Mississippi Acres 2nd Addition and Lot 33 Bowers Mississippi Acres. She stated their home is <br />currently on Lot 33, while Lot 1 Block 1 remains vacant. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik advised that the Andersons intend to sell <br />both lots to help offset family medical expenses. She indicated that since Lot 1, Block 1, does <br />not contain a principal dwelling and is currently owned by the Andersons, it is necessary for them <br />to obtain a variance to lot width and area to render it a buildable lot. She stated Staff <br />recommends approval, and if the variance is approved, it will be sent to the DNR for <br />certification. <br /> <br />Darrell Anderson, son of the owners, indicated his parents purchased both lots in the early <br />1960's, and built on one of the lots. He stated that the second lot was intended for investment, as <br />they had a handicapped child to provide for. He indicated that both of his parents have since <br />developed serious illnesses, and the family very much needs the variance to sell the lot and <br />provide for their medical needs and trusts for his sisters. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Johnson, seconded by Board Member Watson to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
