The Building and Zoning Administrator explained that the Havrons are proposing to build their home on Parcel Aj but, staff must assume that Parcel B will be sold some time in the future and will eventually have a house on it. The Building and Zoning Administrator addressed the buildability of both parcels. He indicated that the buildability of Parcel A would cause no problem and the buildability of Parcel B just barely meets the requirements due to the high water table. The Building and Zoning Administrator addressed the access to the lots. He indicated that the logical access for Parcel B would be by a private road and further indicated that it has been the City's policy to not allow access to properties through private roads. The Building and Zoning Administrator further indicated that the only other way to access Parcel B would be very costly due to the surrounding low area and the culverts which would be needed to access from County Road #33. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against the matter, Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing.
