4. WAIVER OF THE PLATTING OROINANCE
Applicant: P. B. Olson
Location: 2185 Bonnie L.ane-3830 Bassett Creek Drive
Request: Add Additional square Footage to 3830 Bassett Creek Drive
Zoning: Residential
The request is to divide off that part of Tract A, R.L.S. No. 29� lying West
of Bassetts Creek to be combined with Lot 6 Block 3, Mary hitls.
Mr. Sackett, who intends to parchase the home at 3830 Bassett Creek Drive, was
present for the request.
Also present, as interested property owners, were Mr. Strand of 3840 Bassett Creek
Drive and Mr. Nelson of 3820 Bassett Creek Drive. Mr. Nelson pointed out that he
did not see a problem with the request, except that if the Creek has changed course,
the legal description that describes the property refers to the center line of
Bassetts Creek.
The Planning Commission in discussing the request noted that both lots far exceed
the Ordinance requirements in square footage and that the question raised by the
adjoining property owner cannot be answered without a current survey of the
property. The Planning Cortmission had for their review a survey dated December 1953
which was attached to a copy of the plat of Mary Hills Drive. The Planning
Commission felt that the request from a planning point of view is the manner
in which the property should be divided.
It was moved by Edstrom, seconded by Herje, carried unanimously, to recommend
approval of the request as submitted. Because of the location of Bassetts Creek,
in order to determine if Tract 0, R.L.S. No. 292 or Lot 6 Block 3 Mary Hills is
involved, a current Registered Survey would indicate such. The survey is to
be completed prior to this item being considered by the City Council .
