PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />6.01: Public Hearing: Variance and Lot Line Adjustment — 8310 — 8324 159th Lane NW <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the <br />variance and lot line adjustment. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy recognized that both lots are already nonconforming as they are below <br />the minimum lot size and asked if the variance is still then necessary. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the variance is still required as one nonconforming lot would <br />become more nonconforming in this transaction. <br />Commissioner Heineman asked who was responsible for the survey that was done in the past. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that he does not want to assess blame because that is not known <br />as things were much different when the neighborhood was constructed 30 years ago. <br />Citizen Innut <br />Commissioner Heineman asked if both homeowners are okay with this new property line. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that both homeowners signed the application. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he went to the site and met with the homeowners and this <br />solution seems to be the best option to get this property fixed so that it could be sold. He noted <br />that the alternative would be to remove a deck and pool and perhaps the home itself is not <br />conforming either. He believed that this is the best solution for the situation. <br />Motion by Commissioner Van Scoy, seconded by Commissioner Peters, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Gengler, Commissioners VanScoy, Peters, Anderson, <br />Heineman, and Hunt. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Bauer. <br />Planning Commission/ October 24, 2024 <br />Page 2 of 14 <br />
